Which cell phone carrier for trucks tops, OTR?

I use both and have found that combination to work the best. My phone is dual SIM, so I have a Verizon plan and T-Mobile through Mint. There are some areas, like I-10 in far West Texas, where T-Mobile has much better coverage. Overall though, I find Verizon to have the stronger signal in most places, especially cities, as you mention.

 

Also T-Mobile had poor coverage in western states like WY, ND, SD and MT when off the interstates by more than 10 miles or so. I found that a pay as you go T-Mobile and a Verizon standard plan meant I had connectivity over almost all of the 48 and Canada.

 

Or the cheapest package of whatever you want and get Starlink with it on the truck.

 

I was using AT&T for years with no issues, but I switched to Mint Mobile (as previously mentioned using the T Mobile network) about a year ago and it’s worked out fine for me at half the price. I’m based in Texas, and have used it pretty much coast-to-coast. Mostly on interstate highways, but definitely some US and state highways as well.

 

I have Metro by T-Mobile and my service usually gets crazy omw out West. I had to reboot my phone a couple times to get service out in Washington.
