The best cellphone plans/coverage for TV
 
Are there phone companies that are better than the others for coverage/price in TV?

Thanks!

We have Verizon and except for the bowling alley, have very good coverage, I cannot provide comments about other companies as we have only used Verizon, and this is with both android and apple phones.

Different areas of the villages will have different quality of reception.

We like T Mobile friends of ours North of 466 say reception is terrible

XFinity Mobil …….no issues.

They're all about equal except T-Mobile has 9 data breaches since 2018.
But don't worry they will give you lifetime credit monitoring.

Mint mobile - unlimited talk, text, and data for $240 a year. My wife has this and has great coverage everywhere in TV. In fact pretty much everywhere Period. If you are paying more than $20 a month, you should look at this.

Any worse than the AT&T and Verizon data breeches?:)

Mint Mobile, which uses the T-Mobile network, is $15 per month, plus some taxes and fees. It is a pre-paid plan for unlimited voice, text, and data, although bandwidth might be throttled after 5 gigabytes per month of data. Higher data plans before possible throttling are also available. I have never come close to using 5 gigabytes of data in a month.

AT&T had a big one in 2021 which they tried to deny and never told their customers until a year later.

There has been no major breaches with Verizon other than individual cases at Verizon stores.

Out of all of them Verizon takes security the most serious but I still wouldn't give any cell carrier my social security number ever again.

I also wouldn't try to save a few bucks with ghetto carriers who don't offer proper sim swamp protection.

Verizon offers the most robust sim and number lock security.

Remember you get nothing for nothing in life so personally my one and only phone is not the area in my life that I cheap out.

Also Mint is owed by T-Mobile which is deprioritized and has the worst security and has the highest amount of low level employees who will sell your phone number sim swap.

But everyone says they have no problem with their budget carrier until there is a problem, then good luck.

But for each it’s own.

Consumer Cellular

Consumer Cellular---never have had a problem.

Verizon.

We want coverage everywhere, including international if needed.

dtennent 07-05-2024 05:58 AM

We have stayed with Verizon. Since we travel internationally quite a bit, we pay $10/24 hours when we need to use it outside the USA.

Also, you will need to set your phone up to use your home WiFi if you buy any a home built in the last 10 years or so. The insulation acts as a Faraday cage making reception in the home difficult.

We have Spectrum which uses Verizon towers. No problems, good customer service and cheaper than Verizon.
