    You can save 15% or more by switching to Geico, OP.

    Two interstate highways cross near our home. Coverage is constantly changing. US Cellular turns radios on and off and moves radios between towers on a daily basis in an attempt to provide coverage for travelers.

    A coverage area today may be a hole tomorrow.

    The owner of a cell tower sells service to all those other 'bookleg" cell companies that don't own any towers or equipment.
    If the cell gets overloaded, guess whose services gets degraded?

    So it may be an advantage to us users to pay more to be on the tower owners plan.

    Either way, we are the losers.

    If its your phone thats acting up....wipe it clean then reset.

    That nerd guy that used to do those can you hear me now commercials for Verizon, jumped ship and joined SPRINT.

    Maybe he knew something!

    Exactly what I had for the past 10 years, or thereabouts.

    However, the speaker was going bad in it and when answering a call, often couldn't understand what was being said...came out garbled much of the time.

    I finally decided time for a new phone ... another trac phone 'cause ain't paying now $100 a month or whatever horrible price others charge.

    So, I got a new trac phone, one of those complicated "smart phones" I guess you call them....it's a Rebel 4G lite.

    Anyway, takes/makes calls just fine, great speaker, etc. but darned if I can figure out how to use any of the other junk on it.

    I am NOT a tecko nut like some....and that is just fine with me. :D

    Verizon consistently has the best coverage across the nation, perhaps not directly in your area but I wouldn't use anyone else right now
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    ^^^ This, Verizon sucks, but sucks the least. They own the majority of cell towers, and when that tower has heavy traffic, calls start to drop on other companies phones first. It's important to update your phones roaming capability too. It'll surprise you sometimes how much better the connection is.

    We've tried just about all of them all over the years and Verizon is the best.

    Back about 20 years my company phone used Nextel service with the walkie-talkie service included. It worked like a small 2 way radio on the job plus with regular phone service.

    I was on vacation one year headed to Tijuana Mexico and I was in a motel some where near Flagstaff, AZ when one of the foreman on the job in Birmingham, AL called me on the walkie-talkie and asked If I could come over to his area of the building he was working on to look at a problem.

    I thought that was pretty neat that he just clicked on the button and got hold of me over 1,500 miles away as if I were in the next room. I told him there's a little problem right now 'cause I'm about 1,563 miles from where you're at right now. :D
    I thought those things only had a few mile range but somehow he reached me over half way across the country on the thing. :shock:

    Verizon here, for 10 plus years. Thus far no complaints.

    Go to a Verizon store & complain. They have a mini-booster device that you install at home to improve reception. No charge to customers who they consider valuable; if they tell you that you must pay for it, that's their way of saying, "take your business to AT&T".
