Phone Connection/Receiption Strength

Bubey

How can I verify which service has the best connection in my area.

I've had the same comany for 6+ years with lousy connection. I have to go outside, rain or shine in order to make a call from my house. I want to give up my landline and just go wireless but with poor reception it would be a nightmare.

Thanks in advance for the input and help !

Happy New year !

But make sure there is a decent return period if you're not satisfied.

each company's web sites have maps of the area's and general strength of services use this to try to narrow down what company you want

First of all, your big mistake is getting rid of your Landline. I have 3 cells, 3 carriers!! And a LL. Try calling 911 on a cell and you cant Talk!!! Life or death, is 1 shot!!! If it wasnt for my Landline I wouldnt be taking calls today!!!!!

Why so many exclamation points? Were they needed?

I would definitely have the carriers pull up the coverage viewer map of your house. But keep in mind that just because it says you should get great service, doesn't guarantee that you will. Different elements can interfere with reception, such as trees causing overcast, if your roof/ shingles have aluminum in them, or sometimes if a cloud just rolls overhead.
