    Anybody use their service? If so, do you like it?

    I've been a Verizon guy for years and years, but I like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active and it's currently not offered by Verizon. I've priced both plans and AT&T is marginally cheaper (like 3 bucks a month), but I've been extremely happy with Verizon's coverage. Just curious what you guys think.

    Att is just as good as Vzw in those areas based on my experience

    Be careful with ATT. I just switched BACK to VZW from them, because EVERY month during my contract, I had issues with overcharges and had to call them. We have 3 phones on our line.
    But yes, the coverage for ATT is good in those areas, except some back woods places in Ohio that I go to, like Auglaize county.

    ps: Sprint has the Galaxy S7 but I don't know much about their plans.

    I use a pre paid. I also use ATT at home. It's reliable enough.

    Any of the top carriers will get you a cell phone that wont quit. Ive had em all.

    Small things like yakking into a phone in Seattle and learning a month later when the bill arrives and you are to learn that yakking was off a Canadian Tower for a goodly stick of International Roaming Charges you do not have.

    What part of 3000 dollars don't you understand Mr Billing? They usually write stuff like that off. However they will bill you.

    I use a prepaid phone. And not even that anymore. Ive been working on unplugging from this keeping up with the joneses world.
     
    Pintlehook Thanks this.

    You should be able to get that phone and get on the straight talk monthly plan. Mine is set up to do it automatically. The coverage is awesome. I was on the $45 a month plan for 5 gigs of data and unlimited everything else. I since up it to the highest plan at $55 a month for 10 gigs of data.

    I've been with AT&T for at least 8 years and have not once had a problem with them. I have 2 Iphones an older Galaxy and two new Galaxy 8" tablets... I get 15gb data on my plan and what I don't use gets rolled over. As far as coverage goes, I can only attest that the rt95 corridor from Boston to Miami gets a perfect signal. Also a recent trip (road trip vacation) across the southern U.S. never had a problem with coverage.

    As far as tablets go my older one is large (not sure the size) and my new 8's screens are like 7.5 x 5??
    At first I didn't think I'd like the smaller screen until I got to using it everyday...absolutely glad I got them!

    I believe that Sprint has a deal going on now for unlimited Talk Text Data for $60.00 a month. It's normally $70.00

    Coverage was about the same as Verizon and the cost was about a third less with AT&T for the same unlimited data plan which is no longer offered by either company
     
    Pintlehook Thanks this.
