AT&T vs Verizion
I have have at&t. I think switching to verizion. I live in Oklahoma. I need a company that works all over the region. Rural to the city voice and data. Should I switch what do you think?????
...
You'd really have to ask your neighbors and co-workers what they're using. I know att isn't everywhere in Oklahoma, even though the brochures show high coverage.
...
Why don't you just activate a lien of service on the 30 day trial and see if it works better? If it does call customer service and port your number.
...
buy a pre paid and use it for a month. Thats the best way to check out a carrier without all the paperwork and return aggravation with porting numbers back and forth.
...
Prepaid is not an accurate way to test coverage. Prepaid is not allowed to roam on other networks (for the most part) and reflects probably half the coverage postpaid has.
...
Very good point, but prepaid does reflect, though, the legacy network in that given area. It is not a good notion if you are going to be outside the calling area. There are a few ways. 1. Actually test it yourself and use those trials and 2. Ask friends and co-workers.
...
Are you unhappy? With AT&T you get a 100% digital network. Things will get even better once TDMA gets turned off. Then, AT&T will be a 100% GSM network.

Do what you think is best, my friend.

Hey.. If you like dropped calls.. Send - no connect.. Phone cutting in/out.. No ring on incoming calls, then, a voicemail.. Inconsistant customer service...
Do it.. Go with verizon..
Verizon is like that new TV Commercial... The call and clarity is perfect.. You are talking and talking.. Then, you realize the call dropped and you are taking dead air..
Not saying ATT is any better.. We all know it is not.. But, at least ATT is consistant and doesn't lie about its coverage...

"But, at least ATT is consistant and doesn't lie about its coverage..."
Ehhh, I'd have to disagree with you there. AT&T/Cingular had to drop their "fewest dropped calls" advertising campaign (at least here in Oregon) cause for that advertising campaign to be accurate here they would of had to change it to "Most dropped calls of any other network".
...They dropped it cause it wasn't true and they knew it. Now they say "More bars in more places" which also is not true, Verizon has by far more coverage here than AT&T Cingular though I will say AT&T/Cingular are getting better and better here, excelling faster than Verizon, but they still can't claim better coverage than Verizon accurately at this point in time...maybe in a few years, but...

The truth is: Some places Verizon beats AT&T. Some places, AT&T beats Verizon. Arguements for one side or the other are inconclusive.
And AT&T dropped the "Fewest dropped calls" because carriers started working on that problem to catch up with them. They did. So they had to drop it. Gosh.
That campaign was dropped nation wide, by the way. 99.9 percent of the time, all the taglines are nation wide inclusive, not "your region only".

You really need to define the region.
OK has a decent amount of off-network coverage that you get with AT&T and would not get with Verizon. If Verizon has their own network where you need it to work then you are good to compare. If not you might have serious disadvantages with Verizon.

just a question: is your username texaswireless cause you're in texas? or do you think T in T-Mobile stands for Texas?
Just a thought: not trying to hate on you. I just thought it was funny one day, a prideful texan told me T stand for Texas in T-Mobile. I didn't have the heart to tell them that it stands for Telkom, a german cell phone company that expanded over here in the states, and happened to have an HQ in Texas.

I live in Oklahoma City and also have stayed in Tulsa and last time i checked Verizon is no where to be found. So if for some reason you were to get Verizon you would be off network which in the end would result in you getting the boot. My family has Verizon and they are from Indianapolis and when they come to visit they get no bars or 1 bars and have difficulty placing calls no matter where they are in Oklahoma. Good luck with whatever you choose and hope it helps. Also even though i work for at&t i dont use their service i'm a sprint customer and never had any problems but whatever works for you just didnt want you to think i was biased
...
The name of my company. The guy who said that to you must be an idiot.
