Thanks Mary, the Apple sales rep check to the coverage maps side-by-side from Verizon and AT&T and they were pretty much identical in my area. However, anecdotal information from other Verizon users nearby tells me they get better coverage here than AT&T. Where AT&T Mike it one bar they get two or three coverage maps then are more or less a generalization saying that there is coverage, but not specifying what depth of coverage. I'll put the phone through its paces within the first 10 days or so to stay within the return policy and if it doesn't suit my needs, I'll revert back to AT&T. Though, I think Verizon is going to do a better job for me around here. Thanks a lot Sent from my IPhone
