    How do truckers avoid having their cellphone service cut because of excessive roaming?

    Is that from Verizon? I've read quite a few posts on here liking Verizon. Unfortunately T-mobile doesn't offer a nationwide plan. Need to figure out plans when ready to make the move.

    It's called AT&T.

    Simple enough. I hate AT&T, but they give me the best service nationwide and across the borders.

    They all have "Nation Wide" coverage but Verizon's coverage is the most comprehensive.

    That they do but if you wander around too much outside of your home area they can cut you off.

    Yeh that's what the guy on I-40 outside of Flagstaff told me, while he was talking on MY phone, cuz his (Verizon) didn't have a signal.

    Must have been a freak minute. I never lose a signal there. In fact, someone I talk to alot, lives there and uses Verizon cell phone all of the time.
