I have AT&T on my blackberry and coverage has been excellent all around the area. THe only problem I have and my wife has the exact same problem with her Verizon service is we get a VM with no ring. Different phones, one AT&T and one Verizon and the exact same problem. Be walking along and the beep saying I got a VM comes on but there was no ring. So not sure why that is. I have even called people there and they have the same thing happen. They will call me back and say it never rang.
But back to AT&T vs Verizon. If you travel out of the US at all, there are significant advantages to GSM. My AT&T phone works every where I have traveled in the world except Japan. And neither service works there. I also will upgrade to an iphone when I retire and I will stay with AT&T and my wife is planning to move to AT&T as well. Some people have complained about AT&T coverage in TV, but I have never had a coverage issue, and usually have a better signal then my wife with her Verizon service. Might be the phone itself.
