    verizon has been pretty spotty as well.

    my 2 month old samsung note2 had nothing in maryland, west virginia and virgina. for a good portion. hit that pennsylvania state line and all is golden.

    i've had good luck with sprint. but they are behind the curve in the 4g category. verizon has 4g just about everywhere now. but some spots still suck worse then having a 3g signal.

    being a traveling man, though, verizon is really the only way to go.

    AT & T until here lately in some areas. They say they are upgrading their towers or whatever and should be back to good soon. Olney, IL area was a real pain with the Walmart DC and the radius of runs one week for husband.

    Verizon. Sprint is wonderful in large population areas, but as soon as you get out west- it's crap. I've handed my Verizon phone to folks who are with Sprint that have been unable to catch a signal for days.

    Let's be clear... the reason for having a cellphone at Prime (this is our forum) is because you are required to make certain check calls, and interaction with road service and RA. All of the 4G data connection on the planet will not do a thing for the primary reason for having that phone. Voice communication.

    Same here.

    Switched to ATT for at home for my wife until Verizon finally got there when we went from car phones to portables, no signal for Verizon.

    Finally got Verizon at home and got away from ATT and no service in many areas.

    i've been to areas where friends have had to use my sprint phone. and there's one area in utah where we all had to use someone's att.

    it's a crap shoot anywhere. with any carrier.
