Wireless Service Providers, cellular and hot spot?

I have both Sprint and AT&T.

Almost always have a signal with AT&T. Rarely Sprint will and AT&T won't.

Frequently AT&T will have LTE coverage and Sprint will be barely there or on roaming, this is in rural areas.

If I had to choose one it would be AT&T. Won't even consider Verizon, and Tmobile doesn't even work at my house, which is not rural at all, so I don't think their coverage is very good, regardless of what they claim.

I don't use a hotspot cause I don't need it. Unlimited data on both my phones.

 

Verizon. Pretty bullet proof except west of San Antonio. Think it's called Junction Texas, and a patch in Iowa. Unlimited data. Two phones / $122 month. Use hot spot for my laptop, works pretty well everywhere. Using it right now.

 

Sprint for over 20 years. Very very very rarely do I not have a signal. What I doubt like is you cant use data if your on a voice call. Used to be able to, but I guess since its unlimited. People got carried away.
I get 2 gigs a month free hot spot but Only time I use the hot spot is when I need to down load a book onto my nook.

 

When I made the switch from V to S. I was told they were doing upgrades. And that it would happen again with the new OS upgrade.

I've since switched to ATT. It works where V and S don't. And I get a discount on my directv now app service.

 

Verizon is good. WY is iffy if you get off the highway. SW Texas also. Except for the oil patch, the speed will give you whiplash in the oil patch.

 

What about going through Winnemucca and Elko, Nevada?

 

S worked. Just not very fast. You do need a newer phone though. So that may have changed in the last 3 years I've been home.

 

Att hot spot for data. Google fi for cell service. Between the two I have good service everywhere.

 

I have an S8. I have coverage in Fernley and West Wendover.
