I live in the Waverly Villa's in Piedmont and my Verizon reception is terrible both in my home and out.

There is an free app (Open signal) you can down load onto your cell phone, that will show you which provider has the strongest signal where you are. Seems to work very well, shows Version as the strongest in my section of Labelle.

I tried TMobile. It was terrible. Went to T Mobile counter at Walmart. They agreed with me. That's when I went with Cricket

TMobile was awful - switched to Cricket (AT&T) for $35/mt on auto pay and its good in most areas including Fl and up to NY. Go to the Cricket store they will set it up for you and xfer your number

T mobile works okay one to two bars most days near 466a but lately you need to stand on one foot on the roof with your arm in the air and even then it quits. I thought T Mobile worked always on ATT towers.

If you need the cell in the house, get VoIP, much more reliable. Via talk, zoom a, even magic jack...you could transfer calls to and from VoIP if needed...and Via Talk has so many features...you can see anyone who calls in or outs time date, online messaging, block anyone, rings for special people and on and on, Luis it is cheap and equipment is free.

We are in St Charles and use Consumer Cellular. We have good coverage and their customer service is the best ever. No yearly contracts and you can make changes to your plan month to month.
