What's this?

Some points to consider


Are you sure the coverage is the same? If you only live in a city and never travel out of it, it probably is okay. However, go to each carrier's site and look at their actual coverage map (blown up) near where you live and where you travel.

Verizon and AT&T are the only two options for me where we live and travel (like going to the in-laws central Virginia) yes the others will work 95% of the time, but I don't want my wife breaking down in a dead zone. Too many dead zones for the other carriers.

We purchased our own phones and went with Consumer Cellular. AT&T coverage at a small price.
