I know ATT had coverage issues in TV a while back. Would you recommend ATT as a cell phone carrier or another company?

I'm not in TV now but want to get a new phone before returning next month. I have ATT now, which is fine here in PA. I'd like to stick with them but not if there are still reception problems in TV.

thanks.

I ride motorcycle in some extreme out of the way places. I have found Verizon is the best for coverage.

AT&T built an extension on tower in Caroline, that now has better reception. I'd stick to what you have, especially if your family has the same.

Verizon would be my choice if you travel.

Verizon is the way to go. The best coverage and when you need cell service, you better have coverage. I also have a Hot Spot with Verizon and I get 4G, so I don't have internet service at home. Good Luck.

Cell phone companies are kind of like car companies. If you are a Ford fan, you think that all Chevys are junk and Dodge owners are dim witted...

Unless you have a specific issue with the house you live in (and it does happen), average coverage is pretty similar. You can try looking at the coverage map for each carrier and guess which will give you the best coverage in the places where you want to go.

For what it is worth, coverage near my last home with best with AT&T, worst with Verizon. Ditto when I lived in SE Alaska. When I lived in Maryland, one bedroom had no AT&T signal, but the other had no Verizon signal. AT&T coverage has been good in all the areas where I normally travel (and I do a lot of traveling).

We live in Buttonwood and At&T works fine
But in the Villages Hospital, i can get email on my Samsung but not on my ipad, and they are both under AT&T
Go figure!
We have AT&T because though my husband is retired, we still get a small discount from when he used to have his corporate cell ohone.

We have Verizon and have great coverage in our home, but have little or none in both Spanish springs or lake Sumter
