Cell Phone Carriers

I have had AT&T for many years but have never really been happy with their coverage.  T Mobile has an offer that will pay early termination fees if you switch.  They're rates look pretty competitive and there's no contract commitment.  However, the 2 year financing of the phones is pretty similar to a contract since the balance is due on the phones at the time service is canceled.  Does anybody have T Mobile?  How's the coverage in the East Bay and North Coast?

My wife had T-Mobile for a few years .....  NO, NO, NO.  Did I mention ... NO.  Poor coverage, worse customer service.  They were constantly making billing errors (same error over & over again) & they took months to fix the errors & issue credit(s).

Happy with Verizon for now.  Costly but we use like 10-12mb of data monthly since we don't have home internet.  Customer Service has treated us well one the few occasions I've needed to contact them for assistance. 

Just my opinion.....

Verizon is the top carrier right now.and they are expensive. Me and my wife's bill is 200$ a month.I have xfinity for the house when im home otherwise im sure the bill would be a lot more.cause from dusk till dawn my wife has her phone in her hand

Only times that I have ever had dropped calls is when I'm talking to someone who has AT&T. I have Verizon. A bit more expensive now that I finally lost my employee discount (retired for 3 years ). I'm satisfied with the service.

I love verizon and dont pay much for it.  I only use about 1gb data each month but pay for 2.  My plan costs $59
2gb data

Awesome coverage, even at Shelter Cove!

I used to have tmobile and the coverage sucked. I couldn't get signal at work, in the elevator, the casinos, etc. switched to AT&T and haven't had any problems since

my co-worker has a straight talk deal for 45 a month ...everything...walmart has a 50 a month everything....I cant wait to get rid of att...got rid of verizon and switched to att ....will be cancel fee free in april and I will never get a contract again if I can help it...bunch of shit that cost like 250 extra  every year....or more...thats like giving att a nice lamiglas rod with a decent reel each year for free

I have Verizon happy. I do not have all the crap internet on it. So it isn't bad as far as price. I traveled through yellow stone to Idaho and back. I think my coverage was good. 

I use Sprint and it seems to work ok. I have unlimited talk, data, text and hotspot. My work pays the bill ( nice little benefit there).

Also, just received a new Verizion hotspot Mifi for data while traveling. That thing loads fast and has good coverage.

^^ this I have a small town cell company but we share antennas with Verizon and vise versa way the best coverage in remote areas. Sounds like the plans are about the same as well.

Comes down to where you live, and what you want to pay unfortunately.

+1 for Verizon, I often find I have signal when those with any other carrier do not.  I do believe there are smaller carriers that use the Verizon network, so if cost is an issue, you may want to look into that as well.

With my plan I have never ever had a dropped call, never had a billing error, no complaints with customer service, the phone costs me nothing and the service plan is free.
How can ya beat that?
Did I mention I've never owned a cell phone nor do I plan on owning one.
If I was paying $200 a month; $2400 a year, just over the past 10 years..well, you do the math.
I cannot think of one person I'd want to talk to, living or dead, for $24,000.

I knew you would be commenting on this eventually.
