Been with Bell Atlantic & AT&T from the start of this whole movement and never had a single issue. Coverage or otherwise! So here I stay.
However, I might just move from a rugged flipper to a smart phone. MIGHT!

Where I live, if you want to use the cell phone, you better have Verizon. Or, a carrier that uses Verizon's network.

I just had an issue with my Cricket phone. They advertise a full 4LTE coverage all over MO, for example, but when I was in that area last week, I had NO coverage whatsoever, and no service of any kind.
I had specifically asked them, when I bought that service, if I had coverage there, and they assured me I DID have service. I checked online, and their coverage map included the area I'd asked about.
Complaints to the company (an AT&T affiliate) have done nothing whatsoever to assuage my anger.
I won't be with them much longer, price be damned, I NEED to have good service up there, and I had nothing at all.

Apparently I don't use as much data, etc..as I thought.
3.5 GB, 510 minutes, and about 115 texts according to the kid at the Sprint store.

There is a reason Verizon is number one......I have been with them about 15 years never a problem....I would use a can and string before I would use sprint....

I'm a light user so Tracfone is perfect for me.
If you're a big user I'd check out Republic Wireless.

Verizon seems to have the best coverage, but even with that here in the west there are places where there are no coverage.

Verizon for me also. In my travels in the 11 Western states I can't remember not having a signal. Good customer service and a new phone about every three years.

I know of a LOT of places with no service.

Ended up with MetroPCS.
$40 even, tax and all, a month for unlimited everything, though they throttle back data after the first 2GB.
The phone is a Galaxy something or other. It sucks next to iphones but they didn't have one. I'll likely shop up an older 5s and switch it over.

I have IPhone 6 plus and Sprint is my carrier here in rural Missouri. Neither AT&T or Verizon have coverage.
