Just start coloring roaming areas of their coverage maps in orange, like VZW does in red.

yall are stupid. Click Pre Paid, and the purple is the Verizon Native coverage which surpasses AT&T's coverage by a land slide.

I guess the fine art of sarcasm wasn't discussed in the schools you attended.

You don't understand apparently. Cellphonejocky only understands the words, "best", "reliable" and "network".

Anything else is just gibberish.

at&t says they have the most "world-wide" coverage?

Roaming. And it says not by Roaming Partners, but by having the most phones avaliable to be used World Wide. Which means, Verizon and AT&T can pick up on the same networks, but AT&T has more phones to do that then Verizon does. So really, its nothing to help the customer because they will pay the charges anyway. Verizons Roaming rates are lower then AT&Ts also.

What kind of bs blanket statement is that? The rates are the same damn thing.

Wow you spell like a 4 year old. Did you ever get taught your "theres" and "yours?" ****ing learn before you go into a battle about intelligence.

The rates are practically the same across the board, there are a number of countries that AT&T is cheaper than VZW by 10-20 cents and the other way around. There's not enough of a difference between either two to say that one is cheaper.

Unless of course you have taken statistics in school (which apparently you didn't attend) and can prove to me that there is a statistically significant difference between one, I suggest you just stop posting.

For Example, Afghanistan,

AT&T
Standard Roam Price: 3.99
Roaming Pack: 3.99

Verizon
Standard Roam Price: 2.89
Roam Pack: 2.29

That's a BIG diffrence from AT&T, Dont ya think?

There are more lower prices with Verizon then with AT&T. Verizon has the best data coverage world wide. Verizon has a North American Plan for which AT&T does not.

Are you talking about inside the house or outside of it? Inside some homes cell services doesn't work as well. At my house my Verizon works fine, while my brother (ATT) constantly drops calls) Outside both of us have great coverage.

When I go to his school his phone works in his dorm where mine struggles. Outside we are both fine.

Some buildings seem to only block certain signals, not sure why.

A lot of it depends on what frequency each company is using in that area. If ATT is using a lower frequency, and Verizon is using a higher frequency, ATT's signal will penetrate the building better and vice versa.

Not just in my house but at my house around my house down the street pretty much the whole town i live in AT&T is the only one that gets good coverage.

My point on the post was that Verizon's coverage map claims that they get excelent signal in my area and they dont cause my friends that have them can never get more than one or two bars if they get that at all. The coverage map is a joke and missleading by Verizon because of that!!

No cell phone service works for everyone everywhere. That's why you have to factor in everything - customer service, phone selection, family and friends who have similar service, price, etc. This debate really gets old with everyone constantly spouting off about how superior their service is. And the bars don't really mean anything. I've had NO bars and great service and then again I've had crazy bars and no service. Besides, the heading of this post really spoke volumes in and of itself. But whatever.

wow great points except that has nothing to do with what i was saying. The map for verizon says that at my house and in my whole town or city or whatever it is you want to call it that they have full coverage all bars!! and that is the biggest joke and lie ever cause their coverage sucks where i live!


this has nothing to do with customer service, phone selection, family and friends who have similar service, price, etc that has not one single thing to do with that!! read the post completly and understand what it says before you resond so you dont look like a fool!
