i currently have ATT thinking about switching to Verizon?i feel like ATT is always saying i go close to going over my data when I am always on WIFI.. Which carrier do you have or do you have both? Who do you prefer
Not where I live in rural North Iowa... AT&T barely exists... Verizon bought out Alltel, which bought a regional carrier that served our boonies quite well...However I feel that American telegraph and telephone has service in more remote areas than what big red offers.
I can weight in here. I used AT&T for 10 years. 3 months ago, I switched to Verizon.
Verizon customer service is really bad compared to what I experienced on AT&T over the years.
The big red map is a lie. I had better coverage with AT&T. I don't travel much, and mostly it's in the South east US, but Verizon LTE coverage sucks. They can paint a map all day long, but that doesn't make it accurate.
The local stores customer service is absolutely horrible. In the last 3 months they have made me so angry I almost rage quit them and went back to AT&T no matter what the balance was after selling the verizon phones.
Sim card. yes, they have them in verizon phones, but you still have to call verizon on a land line or 3rd line not involved in the move because you have to turn the phones off and reboot to get them to work.
With AT&T, drop a sim in and go.
OH, and verizon has this 1999 legacy 250 character limit in sms texts. so if you text something 700 characters to someone on AT&T, half the time it comes in all jumbled up. you might get the last part first, the middle part last, and the first part in the middle.
Your friends have a fun time trying to figure out what the heck you are talking about when that happens.
I like being able to switch phones easily. With verizon, you can throw that out the window.
Their web site allows you to switch devices online but it doesn't work 99% of the time and you have to end up calling them anyways.
I wish I had never left AT&T and I will go back to them sometime this year. Also, when you hit that LTE lie part of the map, you drop all the way down to 3G or 1X and half their phones can't talk and surf web at the same time.
