AT&T or Sprint?

[streaker 0]

Moving from Verizon. Which carrier provides better coverage AT&T or Sprint. They both have the HTC One that I want to purchase. They both have similar plans and pricing.

Good and bad comments are welcomed......Thanks!

Last I knew, Sprint was the only major carrier whose "unlimited" data plan really was unlimited. Has that changed?

Same here. Sprint was terrible when I had them. About the only complaint I have about choosing one service, however, is the uncertainty about how a device actually will work once you have it. Kind of tough to check out the internet browser in the store, as they don't connect any of the devices to the internet!

I started with Sprint early on, and made sure the plan and phone included text capability. It turned out that the text process for Sprint was to connect you to the internet first, sort of like using an email account. The coverage was also spotty, so I cancelled that plan within the 30 days.

Yes, I know all companies have come a long way since then, but the OP asked for our input! In Tampa, I've done great with Verizon. Add to that the fact that my family is all on Verizon, so calls between us are included, any day, any time. I manage my account online, and activate my phone when I travel to the US.

I would be interested to hear some opinions about which carrier has better international plans, though!

That's like choosing between sodomy with a telephone pole or a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.

Moving from Verizon.

Damn... when I saw the title of this thread, I was going to say "Verizon."

I went from AT&T to Ting back in March, they are a reseller of Sprint airtime.

(Here's a referral link if you decide to go that route, it's good for $25 off any device: https://z347k41ema2.ting.com/).

My bill dropped from $135/mo w/ 2 devices to $54/mo with no issues in quality. Best part about the service I like is the online dashboard which gives you realtime usage and the ability to individually scale minutes/text/MBs each month. Oh, and if you don't break the barrier for the next notch down on any of those, they refund you the difference... no rollover BS, just rollover cash :p

Might not be for everyone (especially people who burn up the internet), but take a look at your last couple bills/usage reports and compare (I was amazed when I did the math, myself). The devices are not subsidized, so they're expensive at the get-go, but no contracts/ETFs.

Thanks for your comments!

After some on line research I've decided to go AT&T.

AT&T has complete 4G network coverage and also has better compatibility with European networks.

The jury is out......Thanks again all

Be careful,,,i switched from AT&T because i had a lot of dropped calls and spotty coverage,,,but if you don't travel all over should not be an issue...

You need to talk to people in the area you're going to be using your phone.

Here AT&T has by far the best coverage (including being the only carrier at my mother in laws house), and Verizon is really good in urban areas. If I go to New York City I'm hating AT&T because they suck!

For best all around, it's probably still Verizon. Sprint is a good way to get real unlimited, so they have that going for them. As it stands I want a family plan and the phone has to work at the MIL's house.

I have Boost Mobile which is owned I believe by Sprint. $45 per month which includes insurance. Unlimited talk, web and
text. You do have to buy the phone.
