Question about WS and cell phones

I had (and still have) AT&T while I was a driver and had good enough coverage to talk everywhere. I used Verizon for an internet account, theirs is MUCH better than AT&T...

 

When I was at W/S you needed a cell, to call brokers mostly. I would normaly be dispatched out of Conover(home terminal) on LTL to New England. get a broker load back toward NC. Most brokers want you to call them a minimum of 3 times. 1. When you are MT and ready to pick up their freight, 2 When you are loaded with their freight, 3 When you are MT and their freight is where it needs to be.

 

Forgot to mention I had ATT when I was with them, only had 1 time when I didn't have service, that was a papper mill in BFE, NC

 

Run through WY, SD, MT and UT with AT&T...then come back and say how well you like them! lol Verizon is the only way to go.

 

an advantage to having Verizon is that they are showing up in more truck stops, mostly TA/Petro.
hands down, verizon is the better way to go, weather on contract or prepaid, its the same coverage.

 

my first month out i couldnt budget in for a bluetooth so i bought a $12 headset with a cord attached worked fine
still in the cabinet as a backup

 

i had straight talk, only good for local areas

not good for OTR, too many dead spots

 

Straight Talk can be great, it just depends on the phone you get and what towers it pulls off of. Google the phone model and you can get the information easy.

Earbuds with a mic can be bought at Radio Shack for $7. Not noise cancelling, but they work very well.

 

Add KS to the list, drove accross there a while back and service was TERRABLE, I actually haven't had any problems in SD and MT has not been too bad. Didn't say I liked them, just that's who I have.
