Is anyone in the Midwest using T-Mobile for their cell service? I'm looking at switching our service, because honestly, I feel that Verizon is a rip off.
In looking at their coverage map, I'm seeing some serious blank areas in some parts of Iowa that looks like there would be no service.
Hubby runs quite a bit in that area, so I need to choose our next carrier carefully.
T-Mobile Anyone?

I use Tmobile. With a plan you can roam and the times I've been in Iowa was able to roam with no problems. Tmobile (most likely because ATT is trying to screw them now that they have all allow roaming on their towers) is going to limit roaming however. The bigger data plan the more roaming they will allow.

T mobile sucks in iowa, the dakotas, the rockies. No service.

Yes. Can't roam on a pre pay unfortunately.

I do believe that is roaming for data only, think the voice roams on either plan.

A cell phone booster (amplifier) can greatly extend useable coverage for cell phones such as from Wilson Electronics (Amazon). If he's often in remote/fringe areas, they make a huge difference. I chase storms in the spring and cellular data is critical and that community is vastly Verizon because it is marginally better than most other carriers in most of the rural areas (and we also rely heavily on cellular signal amplifiers). Verizon or ATT is the only way to go. You may spend a little more money but it is what it is.
