Default cell phone coverage- who is bad/good?

We're wondering who has best/worse cell phone coverage in the Villages. We have OK ATT coverage on north side of villages and terrible coverage on south side. What have others experienced with different companies( ATT, tmobile, verizon, sprint, etc)? We are thinking of changing to the new Walmart family mobile plan due to great price, no contract and use of t-mobile system. However we want to improve quality of phone/text service (not data). Any experience with t-mobile in the villages?

We've had Verizon for about 6 weeks now and have no complaints!

Since coverage can be spotty in TV , it would be helpful if you say what village or where you primarily use your cell phone in TV.

We find PureTalk who used to advertise in TOTV don't know if they still do, but we are very pleased with the plan.

http://www.puretalkusa.com/

It's a Prepay and costs $10/mo including 100 mins/mo with NO contract. Customer Service we find excellent, and one can add money to the account whenever needed over and above the 100 mins/mo. Also you can transfer your cell phone number to this service that they change for you.

Resurrected nearly 2 year old thread. I'd think some of the info from back then regarding cell coverage might have changed by now.
