Checking data maps is not reliable. Ex. T/mobile indicates that it has great coverage where live, yet anyone from around here will tell youT-mobile cell service in this area sucks. You often find pockets where service is poor with big carriers,, yet 1 mile down the road it’s great. US Cellular is absolutely the best in certain midwestern areas, but data is terrible outside of that. We have Verizon now, and we have terrible service at our home, so bad we often lose calls, so Verizon opted to use our wifi to handle calls and data. If we’re outside of WiFi, we have dropped service. Not happy. When we travel it’s fairly good, but yet we winter in SW FL and only have mediocre service there. Wouldn’t it be great to purchase the best cell coverage service carrier in the area you’re in and not be locked into any contract. Newest cell phones themselves could then choose best carrier available in the area, and you’re in. That technology is already here. It’s just a matter of FCC and your providers agreeing. It may happen, but don’t hold your breath too long.
