AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint

[greasyg2006]

Quick poll. Curious what provider everyone here is going to be using with their iPhone 5. Feel free to give some reasons why you decided to choose one provider over the other.

Since I can't keep my unlimited data with Verizon once I upgrade (unless I pay full retail price on the phone), I have finally decide to head to AT&T for the iPhone 5.

Reasons for jumping to AT&T
- 3gb data for the same price as Verizon's 2gb data plan.
- Sprint has horrible and slow reception in my neighborhood (girlfriend uses Sprint), plus Sprint LTE is not yet in Nashville.

I travel a lot and as of today, Verizon still has the best national coverage, best LTE coverage, and best performance in large metropolitan areas. I'm sticking with them, even though I go from unlimited to 2gb.

Woah, somebody is actually leaving Verizon for AT&T? That's like swimming upstream!

I am switching from AT&T to Verizon because I travel around the country for work and want the most LTE coverage. I have the Verizon LTE iPad 3 and its awesome. Trust me, once you go LTE, there's no going back! I don't want to ever not see the little LTE icon on the top-left of my screen!!

I have had Verizon for a little over a year after having AT&T for the previous 5 years. I switched because AT&T is awful where I live (still no 3G service if you can believe that and I am not by any means in the sticks). With Verizon I am surrounded by 3G and LTE. So for me it was a no brainer plus I got in when unlimited data was still offered.
Where AT&T offers a solid signal I think it is just fine. I do think it is bogus that they are charging for Facetime on 3G but then, they do offer simultaneous data/voice which Verizon does not (on the iphone 5).
In the end it boils down to where you will use your phone the most. If both AT&T and Verizon are solid where you live, I would then look at which you can have unlimited. If you can, or cannot, have unlimited on both then I would look at price. In my world, great signal is priority, unlimited data is second priority, and cost is third. Customer service these days is about the same no matter where you go depending on what you want and who you get on the phone. Good luck!!

PS, sorry I didnt mention Sprint. They dont factor in anything I use.

My iPad is on Verizon as well and LTE is awesome. That being said, I have gone over my allowance on my iPad several times due to the 2gb of data. Having 3gb on my ATT iPhone is exactly right for me.

moving from ATT to Verizon. I've got the same reason as most other people...ATT does not have good service where i am while Verizon has LTE and everyone says only good things about them. I've had them before so i'm excited about being on the Big Red network.

I know, it was a hard choice, but I don't travel much and AT&T has great LTE coverage in Nashville (or so I'm told). Plus, when I am not on LTE, AT&T's HSPA+ is much speedier than either Verizon's or Sprint's 3G connections.

reluctantly AT&T... it was either paying ETF and going to VZW, or paying the partial upgrade price and staying with at&t... devil you know vs devil you don't know I guess...

I call and travel to Canada often, so figured the A1429 (GSM/LTE) was a wiser choice in the end, plus my area is not LTE yet (for neither at&t or vzw and who knows when), so HSPA is faster here than VZW EVDO - and the simultaneous voice/data on the at&t version as well as having an ipad lte for at&t made it a bit easier to chose to stick with at&t - for now anyways... Starting from scratch, I would have gone VZW though I think

verizon verizon always verizon... they have the best coverage

 

[cjdaniel]

Verizon, I would prefer to have simultaneous voice and data, but not at the expense of dropped calls, n coverage and sound quality. That is the trade off in my area.

 

[Exxod]

AT&T for me. They recently rolled out LTE here, and in the nearby town that I visit frequently. No need to jump ship.

 

[rryoung]

Verizon for sure best coverage and killing every other carrier with their lte rollout.

 

[jsntrenkler]

I actually happy with AT&T.

 

[SaMaster14]

Verizon. Mainly because it's my family plan, but I probably would have chosen VZW anyways due to the fact that AT&T is horrible where I live...

Have current iPhone on Att and new iPad on Vzn. Sticking with Att due to LTE at my house an no LTE on Vzn at home.

Verizon paying full price to keep my unlimited data. May switch once my contract is up but who knows maybe by then verizon will wise up and bring back some of their old plans( not talking about unlimited, but the 2gb they used to have)

 

[BlackAppDevFem]

I already say Verizon! I just did an online order and got approved for iPhone 5 with no deposit needed I love my good credit and student discount

[stillzmatik]

I actually happy with AT&T.

I am actually happy with AT&T as well. Never had problem. Been with them since my college days when they were Cingular.
