    Question for other Truckers... I have been with Boost Mobile as my cell phone provider for the 2 years and they suck very bad I have never been unhappy with a cell provider until now their coverage is the worst I've seen in my life especially out west I go out west alot and I need a trucker friendly cell provider. What cell provider are other Truckers using and if they like it and why? Thanks

    Look into Sprint. They have a reputation of reaching more remote places.

    ...most reliable excluding spots in ky

    Actually
    Lg
    Prepaid service through pageplus is the best call only plan and reliable.

    You pick up different providers towers.
    $45 a month and can be bought at the j front desk.

    Get you a nice phone....it all can be wrote off...

    Verizon Wireless, I would Highly Recommend! I'm in AZ run all over the U.S. and have found that they have less down times and areas then any of the others, They also have U.S. based customer service which means the world to me, Sprint is over seas in the Philippines.

    The OP said he has Boost and unless he is using a Boost with iDen technology, he is already using the Sprint network. And he states he is not happy with their coverage.

    I would recommend Page Plus through Kitty Wireless ($39.95 for Unlimited Talk & Text, 500 mb data). Uses the Verizon PREPAID network. Their Prepaid network is different than their contract network as some area (I-65 through KY and I-81 through WV/MD come to mind pretty quickly) do not have coverage but their contract plans do.

    Not sure how the Verizon Prepaid network is out West.
