Good Morning All,
Harold and Alice from New Jersey , plan on our move in 2015 to TV,
our phone contract is coming up soon with Verizon and was wondering if anyone is on the Sprint network as the plans are much cheaper or is it the old you get what you pay for.. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply!

I a, using Verizon as my cell carrier and am very pleased. O nthis thread you will see good and bad for just about every carrier. My wife has TMobile and it appears to be the absolute worst

For home service I installed Magic Jack a few weeks ago. Seems to be working well and you can't beat the price. $59.00 first year including device and approx $35 per yr or less after that.

We moved here about 3 months ago. We haven't changed cell service yet but we are also looking for a different company due to price and quality. I will tell you that ATT is really not working for me at all. It might be my phone (iPhone) but I didn't have the problem in CA. I'm receiving voicemails 3 to 5 days late however the quality has been good. We're looking into Sprint..

I think you have the best coverage with V in TV

[MikeV]

Verizon for cell and Magic Jack for home phone.

[ugotme]

Have Sprint but not for long!

Worked great in South Fla. but up here - lose calls, mostly poor reception.

Contract up soon and, like you, do not know where to go!

[baustgen]

Wait until you get here. The Villages is so large reception can vary by area. I have ATT with a microcell booster that cost $85. No problems

[billethkid]

Verizon wireless plus Ooma for home phone.

We travel a lot and find Verizon to have excellent coverage just about every where we go and have been.

More often than not we have had Verizon coverage consistently in remote areas where AT&T has none. Those with us on AT&T are usually not happy....having to wait to get back to civilization to catch up.

i had verizon for years but way to much $$$$$$ i switched last year to Cricket....they are owned by AT&T .... for $70.00 a month with auto pay...my wife and I both have smart phones with unlimited minutes, and text, the data plan is the first 2.5 GB is 4G LTE speeds then after that is slows to about 3G but it is unlimited also no contract so if you dont like it after trying for a few months shut it off

All of that's fine & dandy but what about dropped calls? Reception? Voice mail arriving 3 days late?

[Love2cruise]

We live I Sanibel, and have Verizon. Before moving here Verizon was the best service, since we moved here we are dropping calls all the time. Last week my husband had to call someone and had to go to the mail station to make the call. Put in a trouble ticket and just got a call from V and they said yes we had very poor service in our area and we could either get out of our contract or pay $175 (a reduced rate) for a booster. Now we don't know what to do. I'm not sure how A&tt service will be in our location. I think we may try Smart Talk.

[Avista]

I use Criicket Wireless.. Owned by ATT. uses their towers. $45/month including taxes. No contract. We have great service. No dropped calls. Live off Canal St.

Cricket Wireless and Google Voice - Both work excellent.
