I did a search but couldn't find any recent relevant threads...
But anyways, we have 4 lines with t-mobile with 1000 whenever min and unlimited messaging (no web service) and pay 120ish after tax with a company discount. However, the service sucks, it's hard to get a signal, even sitting next to a window in our little one story house.
So with that being said, who should we switch to? Sprint, Verizon, or ATT? Sprint so far sounds like the best deal, 4 lines, 1500 minutes (unlimited mobile-to-any-mobile), unlimited messaging and data for all phones, would be about 160ish after tax with the discount. That's 40 more bucks a month for way more minutes, plus web service for all phones, plus better service/coverage... sounds like a no brainer. Verizon's comparable plan would cost way more and ATT supposedly sucks just as bad as t-mobile as for as service and dropped calls, plus their plans are more expensive than sprint.
So who is everyone using and what are your experiences with these different providers? Thanks everyone! btw Happy Thanksgiving!

Next, from your phone call #fix
The more you do this the more tickets you will leave and then an engineer will go out and add a tower or fix a tower.
T-Mobile now has a plan for 3000 minutes, unlimited texting, and unlimited web for two lines for 149.99. For four lines for 3000 minutes, free nights, weekend, and mobile to mobile, unlimited texting for the whole family, unlimited 4G web for all four lines, it will cost you $199.99. Mind you this is all before the discount. With the BOGO free its a killer deal.
T-mobile has the least dropped calls in the nation for several years and is tested by a third party. If however I was to go to another carrier, it would be verizon. I had AT&T and its
; Sprint = Best thing to do is go to each service provider and check the coverage map. If you covered on T-mobile, then there could be other factors like a bad sim card or even a bad phone. Try swapping sim's or even phone see if that helps. If you live in college station then I know for sure you in a great area for reception. I would change your sim and see if that works. If it doesn't try changing your phone.
