Cel service providers. How’s your coverage?

Been with Verizon ever since they bought our BellSouth Mobility. Not real happy with the speed or coverage lately.
Does T Mobile have some sort of deal with Delta? Also how is their coverage?

LOVE T-Mobile. 100 bucks a month (military deal) for me and the wife. And they paid off our Verizon phones to switch. Free Netflix and gogo internet as well as free international (slow) data. Service a little more spotty in rural areas but not a problem for me. Wish I’d switched way sooner than I did.

Not sure if you’re a baseball fan, but they also give away free MLB.TV every spring. Great for catching games when on a sit.

I’m glad it’s not just me. I’ve been with Verizon probably 10 years. Lately not impressed with data or phone coverage.

T-mobile here too. Every so often I have issues with data speed. I force the phone into 4G and can resolve the issue in most cases.

Switched from Sprint to TMobile two years ago, primarily for the hassle free international roaming. Family plan with five phones and unlimited everything. Just over $200 with taxes. Delta discount was ok but not a deciding factor. Generally satisfied. I did have some signal weakness at key locations where I spend time; like home and in-laws. Just got a 5G iPhone 13 and those troubles are gone. 5G is a game changer for call quality and data speed; it’s an awesome hotspot now!

Did a road trip with a buddy. I never was without service with Verizon. He spent all of the Midwest without service until we hit a major city. He had T mobile.

Happy enough with AT&T…their mil/vet price is very cheap for a family of lines (I average $32 per line after taxes/fees for all our lines on an unlimited 5G plan). Recently did a deal for essentially free iPhone 13 pros trading in our 11s. Of note though, 5G (not to be confused with fake 5G that ATT calls 5Ge, which is actually 4G/LTE) is absolute garbage. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all, sometimes it’s slower than 5Ge/LTE. Especially in crowded areas like stadiums and airports. I recently disabled 5G, enabling only LTE, and it’s back to good and plenty fast.
