Verizon Unlimited Back

Ya for a company driver sprint or att is just fine.

 

The best mobile carrier for a trucker or anyone else for that matter, will be the one that offers the best signal coverage for the area he serves and at a price he can afford.

That said,.. Tmobile has even less coverage than Sprint. The only way carriers like Tmobile and Sprint can compete with the 2 larger carriers like Verizon and ATT will be with price.

And honestly,.. I welcome any competitive edge they can offer. Because it will cause a trickle down effect and force Verizon and ATT to compensate and make concessions in order to keep from losing customers. This will mean better services and price points for people like me who's business depends on having a mobile provider with the largest service area possible. Take the recent Verizon switch of offering unlimited service back. Not only is my bill substantially lower, it is now a fixed business cost with out risk of data overages. Thank you, Sprint and TMobile.

So this is why I welcome anything any other carrier can provide that improves their competitive edge against Verizon. Neither Tmobile nor Sprint have the combined resources to threaten Verizon or ATT's network size or service offerings. They work well within their limited service areas. But thats it. They can not physically compete on a national scale. It would cost both $100's of $billions to just to reach an even plateau.

Again,.. I welcome anyone to see for them self and compare each carriers network coverage area from a non bias'd third party resource who's data is based on actual customers being serviced by all the represented carriers.

If all you need is a carrier that services a regional area that you work within, then use that carrier which provides you with the best service for the best price. I would be doing that same thing. I am not a pro advocate of Verizon as the end all, be all, one size fits all carrier. Thats not who Verizon is. Verizon is the rich kid on the ball field who has all the toys and gear everyone needs to play. And if you want to play you will do it by their rules. Unfair, unrelenting, take no prisoners,.. they are who they are. Make no mistake about that.

How ever,. if your business needs the largest coverage area and signal in places no one else covers,.. then the answer is clear. Verizon. And if you are in a position to where you can write it off,. then why not have the best?

I know most of you will not bother to check the coverage maps. Or may not understand how to look them up. So I have done the leg work for you.

A picture is worth a thousand words. So here are 4 pics that should be self explanatory.
Not sure if this works on phones,.. (Android? Apple?) But from a laptop or computer you should be able to click on the images for a larger version.

When I got my Simplisafe alarm system it came with a Sprint or T-Mobile card in it.
I live in Southern Indiana and it wouldn't work, they sent me a Verizon chip and it started working immediately.
Verizon may cost more but it's worth it, even to me, a company driver that loves the internet.

Verizon looks like a disease on the map compared to the others.

I guess thats one analogy.

Indiana always bothered me when I had Sprint. I used to run 30 across Oh and Indiana in order to avoid the I80 tolls. I would always have intermittent service disruptions and even a few completely dead areas for 10 miles or more. It made no sense, because its not really a rural area. Yet if I ran I80,.. no problems at all.

I was a long time Nextel user long before Sprint bought them out. I loved it because being in construction, everyone I knew had a Nextel phone and the touch to talk feature used no minutes. The only gripe I had was all the dead spots,.. but the really funny thing about Nextel dead spots was that you could walk 10 ft and suddenly have a signal. Return to the original spot and no signal. I think some of that rubbed off onto Sprint when they took over Nextel. I never knew what Sprint was like before that,.. so I cant say how good or bad it was before. Only that Sprints signal coverage was just as spotty as Nextel. LOL

It will be interesting to see what the competitive market does over the next few years as they battle for our business in the 4g market but come the year 2020 and things will start taking shape in the 5g market we may be paying more $$$$ for our unlimited plans to stream everything in 4k

 

I see the competitive market sucking these days.

I"m seriously considering switching from cdma to gsm. Both sprint and verizon are sucking as of late.
