Soliciting Advice for New Mobile Phone and Carrier

[ray1970]

I currently have service with Verizon and Sprint. Verizon works pretty much everywhere. Even in some of the remote areas where my job takes me. Sprint... not so much. The only reason I switched to Sprint for my family service was they had an "unlimited everything" plan at the time. With a wife and two teenagers on the plan it was nice not having to worry about minutes, texts, or data usage. Been thinking about canceling my Sprint service and moving everything back to Verizon just for better coverage. The Sprint works fine as long as I'm in the city along the front range but head the slightest bit east and you might as well just turn the phone off.

Pretty much this. I had Verizon since high school but they were so much more, and wouldn't deal with me so I switched to Sprint and pay $38/mo for unlimited everything on a smart phone. At the time, I was paying $90/mo for a dumb phone with Verizon. Verizon has hands down better coverage though.
