Re: [MBZ] Cell phones, long post

Verizon is garbage where I live. Both places. Sitting in my SEA living room I have almost two bars. Massive picture window with line of sight to the tower. Using it as hotspot, there is almost 56k baud using USB cord. Wireless hotspot is about 32k. ANC is not that good either. Verizon is

+1. WiFi calling on T-Mobile has not worked well for us. I disabled that on my phone and SWMBO's. - Max Charleston SC On Fri, Dec 20, 2019 at 10:14 AM ROGER HALE via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I tried WIFI calling via Tmobile, but it was terrible > >

Re: [MBZ] Cell phones, long post

Well, I'll add some info too. I've used ConsumerCellular for a long time now and have not been disappointed. Of my over 50 years dealing with businesses, they have by far the best customer service. I use two older iPhones and they work fine on the road. I use the ATT sims. My home is

Re: [MBZ] Cell phones, long post

My neighbor asked me about CC because she can get it cheap through AARP, so I looked into it last month. I didn't see any CC plans that I couldn't equal or beat with Red Pocket or Tracfone (now that Tracfone has monthly plans), and the AARP 5% off didn't change that. TF gives 5-10% off to

Re: [MBZ] Cell phones, long post

We switched from Sprint / Ting to T-Mobile last year, happy so far. Family plan, unlimited data. I don't know about using both data and phone line at same time. We brought our own phones, right now two are Android, one iPhone. No rural use to speak of, so I can't help you there.

Re: [MBZ] Cell phones, long post

I have spent quite a few times comparing cell coverage maps. Vz isn’t best overall but T mobile came in a close 2nd. I may give them a try and if they don’t work where I need it I will move to VZ. I may check out CC. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 20, 2019, at 5:32 AM, Curley McLain via

Re: [MBZ] Cell phones, long post

I agree with that assessment 5-10 yrs ago, but I think it is dated now.   Kleb needs to look at the current coverage maps for vz and att, and the piggyback carriers mentioned that WILL save him a ton of money and enable buying a few more MBb per year.   The one with the best coverage for the

When I was  on the road in the boonies, I had to have verizon, who delighted in ripping me for $200 to $300+ a month  (30¢ to 60¢ a min, unless someone from Canada called me when it was dollars per min) CC has highly rated customer service (WAY better than Vz was) with people in the USA for

Re: [MBZ] Cell phones, long post

Here’s the straight poop from someone who was involved heavily in the buildout of both AT and Verizon’s cellular networks: Both carriers have the highest number of cells nationwide of any carrier that is a primary, with Verizon having the most. All the others, save Sprint, are piggybacking on

Re: [MBZ] Cell phones, long post

IMHO, if you travel significantly you should stick with AT or Verizon. We tried T-Mobile, and almost from the first day it was unusable. Dropped calls when crossing towers, random slowness due to 'foreign' towers, and the vaunted fallback to AT only happens when/where AT allows this, which is not

[MBZ] Cell phones, long post

When I left my old job I had a company phone on Verizon. Signal was great for the most part but had a few dead zones in my area. When I left I kept my phone but not the number so I added a new line to our US Cellular account that I had for wife/kid. Data speed is ok but they are very regional
