[RTC List] Wireless advice

[robert beckerdite]

I use verizon which is partnered with US Cellular in the area (I believe US Cellular has the best coverage in humboldt county) I have better signal than friends with Sprint or AT&T and travel a lot with no issues even to very remote parts of the US. I have used Sprint and AT&T in the past and found at least in the west the coverage was not as good as Verizon.  T-Mobile as i understand it from friends is better if you are in Rural areas and can be spotty in remote areas.  Also the sprint store closed in the area and I have had customers frustrated with the support offered through Radio Shack.

They bought out my company (Edge Wireless) and are closing it down this spring, and now they are offering me a worse national plan at higher costs and are insisting that our 5 gsm phones on our plan will need to be replaced. (BTW, we were forced to buy those phones awhile back after ATT started buying into Edge, and they switched mobile comm standards.)> > Who else? I need good local coverage a little north and east of McKinleyville, and good national service, mostly in Sacramento and occasionally NYC.> > "We don't care, we don't have to...we're the phone company."
