Cell Carrier reviews from Reddit

"I have a verizon 5G and it works very well"

"I've used tmobile and verizon. Tmobile had too many dead zones, and verizon I've never had an issue"

"Verizon is best period."

"Having lived in remote areas for more than a decade, I have to say, the Verizon coverage isn't just hype. I can get signal in areas where other people (with other carriers) can't."

"I have Verizon. It's expensive, but the quality of service, available devices, financing options, and what not are far superior to any other company I've used."

"Verizon was by far the best."

"Verizon is the best. Rarely don't have service."

"I’ve had great luck with verizon"

"I’ve been a Verizon customer since the 90’s. My phone worked on an island in the middle of a small lake an hour north of St. Ignace."

"My personal phone worked everywhere in the extended metro Detroit area."

"T-Mobile owns more 5G spectrum than the other carriers combined. I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile a few years ago and it’s been nothing short of fantastic for me. Highly recommend them."

"I've used both T-MOBILE 4G and 5G. They're both excellent when I'm in the area, which is quite often."

"I got locked into a unlimited data and text $25 a month when they offered some program to switch carriers (I switched from Verizon to Sprint) and now I have T-Mobile after the merger and getting 5G, its freakin sweet."

"I've had AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile out here. T-Mobile has been the best, by far."

"T mobile has been good to us since transitioning from Verizon. Reception has been solid everywhere we go in and out of the city, free international data, free wifi on flights, etc."

"T-Mobile has been excellent for the 5 years I’ve had them. Coverage in places my Verizon friends don’t have."

"T-Mobile. Works everywhere and is cheaper than the competitors."

"T mobile is the best anywhere I travel, including out of the country."

"Ive always gotten weirdly good service on T-Mobile out there."

"No problems with T-Mobile. I also like the other free features that comes with T-Mobile."

"They are superior in my opinion."

"AT&T had flawless service. Full bars, not one dropped call in 25 years all over the state."

"I think we'll go with AT&T (or more likely Good2go or Cricket) because it is the best option."

"I would choose AT&T if I had to pick one provider."

"Definitely AT&T has the broadest coverage in Anchorage."

"AT&T 1st, Verizon 2nd."

"Looks like it would be $112 for 2 lines of Experience More before taxes and fees. That would be about what I pay now at AT&T with more perks, better network performance, etc."

"AT&T is sadly head and shoulders above Verizon"

"AT&T (actual, not MVNO) has been by far the better of the two for me."

"Great service in the area."

"I've had Fi since 2015 in this area and routinely have 5G when my friends are experiencing issues with their service."

"Super super happy with Google Fi. Never any issues with service, half the price (or less) of Verizon."

"+1 for GoogleFI. Also great for international travel. It uses the Tmobile/Sprint network."

"I have Google Fi (T-mobile towers) and never have a problem."

"We use Google Fi (which is pretty much T-Mobile) and it's been reliable."

"I’ll put in a recommendation for Google fi."

"I use google fi. Would highly recommend if you have an android."

"We have had Google Fi for the last couple of years and love it!"

"Never had an problem using google fi."

"I've never had a problem with Google Fi."

"Another vote for Mint. My wife and I jumped ship from AT&T."

"I'll throw my hat in the ring for Mint as well."

"Definitely Mint, been with them for years and never any problems."

"Mint by far. It’s only $15/month."

"The cheapest plan is going to be mint mobile."

"We use Mint and we love it!"

"Mint mobile for life. They use T-Mobile towers. $15 monthly"

"Mint Mobile, no other provider comes even close. $15/month unlimited."

"I also use Mint mobile. Love it. I think I pay 200$ a year for service"

"I've been using Mint Mobile's $35 unlimited plan for over 3 years now with zero complaints, I typically have better service than my girlfriend who has Verizon."

"Second for Visible. I also use it as my Hotspot."

"Visible is always good. I haven’t had any issues."

"I’ve loved it. Saved money and still have great service."

"Unlimited everything for $25/mo on Visible"

"Highly recommended which uses Verizon towers."

"My mom, brother, his 3 kids, & ex-wife are all on visible and none of them complain. All live in Raleigh, never have issues with dropped calls/texts not going through with any of them. Super cheap."

"We switched from AT&T to Visible last year and it has been a great improvement."

"Visible which is essentially Verizon."

"The Verizon network is great. Go with Visible to save $."

"All around? Visible."

"Cricket. Cheap and great service."

"Recently switched from ATT to Cricket. Couldn’t be more pleased. Same service for half the price."

"We use cricket and it's worked well."

"Cricket has been great around here. Not as many dead zones as we head on T-Mobile."

"Has cricket for years and it was great, switched to at&t (drop all over now), same towers, wtf."

"I live down the street from the campus and have cricket and it's great."

"Been with cricket for 8 years nothing to complain about."

"Cricket ( which uses At&t towers since that's the sister company)."

"When I had Cricket they seemed to be really good."

"Cheap and works great in Austin."

"Rogers without a doubt. Especially in rural areas. I had Bell for years and there was dead spots in the city and it hardly worked in rural areas."

"Rogers hands down. You get what you pay for!"

"Switched to Rogers from Telus, Nov '23. It was a good choice."

"Rogers has the most complete cell coverage in the Valley."

"I had to switch to Rogers to get the best overall coverage."

"I have the same for 40 bucks a month with Rogers and data in the US"

"I’ve been with Rogers for over 20yrs, I pay 50$ for 105gb,and good costumer service."

"Rogers. Constantly on 5G and have data even in more remote areas. They actually have good deals too."

"Any of the brands that use the Rogers network works great for the most part. There was a few times where their network crashed though"

"I had to switch from Telus to Roger's."

"I have US Mobile. It’s an MVNO that works on Verizon’s network, but they also have plans for AT&T and T-Mobile. I pay annually, but it works out to about $23/month per line for unlimited talk and text and 40GB of premium data. No service issues unless I’m down around Ruston (but no one gets good service down there). Great value plan, highly recommend."

"I’ve been using US Mobile for 2 and a half years. It’s identical to Verizon postpaid and get full priority with a 5G device. Their support is amazing. I love them and refer anyone that I can to them!"

"I use Usmobile which uses Verizon's network and I have been extremely satisfied."

"I just ported my number from Verizon to US Mobile."

"I just switched to US Mobile and so far I'm liking it. It's cheap, good customer service, and you can switch back and forth between Verizon's, AT&T's, and T-Mobile's networks based on what works best in your area."

"It works great and is priced great for me."

"US Mobile is great, too. Can pick between ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile network"

"US mobile seems pretty solid. They support all 3 carriers and you can switch between them on certain plans as much as you want depending on which carrier is better where you are."

"I switched from Mint Mobile (T-Mobile towers) to US Mobile a year or so ago and get much better coverage."

"I ended up going with a Verizon MVNO called US Mobile, very quick and easy setup."

"I've had Xfinity for 4 years now. They're the only carrier that hasn't overcharged me/screwed me over. Great service for mobile and internet."

"They use Verizon towers so coverage is great, I’ve never had issues."

"I have not found a service better than Xfinity Mobile as of right now."

"Xfinity mobile, if it's available in your area, is way cheaper than Verizon but uses their towers."

"I have Xfinity and I don’t have any issues. I left Verizon because they were getting ti be too expensive."

"I’ve been using Xfinity mobile but also use Xfinity internet. I haven’t experienced many dead spots and the speed is more than acceptable."

"They use Verizon, and it’s half the price."

"The most bang for the buck right now is Comcast Mobile phone service."

"I just switched from Verizon to xfinity mobile."

"Try Xfinity mobile - they use the Verizon towers and are half the price of Verizon."

"Fido over 21 years"

"I've been with Fido for more than 25 years. Now my plan is 50gig for 40 dollars with bring your own phone."

"Check out Fido! Or look at the other ones suggested in this post. I opted for the 20G of data cause my work has me using it a fair bit outside of wifi range."

"I wound up switching to Fido for like 50 bucks a month including tax."

"I swapped to Fido and all my problems are cured."

"Fido uses Rogers network and works well"

"Guess I'm gonna switch to fido."

"Fido."

"I only pay $47 a month for 9GB data."

"Have Fido and have had near perfect reception."

"I have Sprint now and like it."

"I use sprint and it's fine anywhere I go."

"I've had Sprint the last 4 years out here and it's gotten significantly better."

"I've had Sprint for years and have been very happy with them."

"I have had the best service with Sprint."

"I have honestly had no issues with them in SLC."

"I have had Sprint for several years in and around the city."

"The new Sprint network is going to be insane once it's finished."

"I have Sprint- it's not the fastest, and it seems there are dead spots with data."

"Whatever you do don't be tempted by Sprint."

"I highly recommend Mint or Ultra. I have Mint and don't need much data (I bought a year plan of 15 GB for $20 per month for one line)."

"I just switched from Google Fi to Mint. Vastly cheaper and I haven’t notice any difference in coverage or data speed."

"Also a Mint customer here. No complaints other than it being kind of useless at certain underground metro stops."

"Thirding Mint."

"Seconding Mint."

"Mint is cheap and works."

"I use mint. Cheap and reliable."

"My experience: i use Mint and reception has been fine everywhere around here (they're on the T-Mobile network)"

"I paid $15/mo for Mint. Service is good."

"Mint (aka T-Mobile network) is as good as any and we pay like $1/mo."

"Definitely Public Mobile (Telus network)."

"Public is probably the best deal."

"The recommendation I received from the other comment, I will start look into public mobile first!"

"Thank you so much for your comment! really helpful! Public mobile.. never heard but I'll look into it :)"

"Public mobile has 60gb in Canada, USA and Mexico for 35/month. It's 5g and includes some extra international minutes. That's probably your best bet."

"I personally recommend public mobile you get 34$ 75GB 5G USA Canada and Mexico and also unlimited calls in those area"

"Public... 50 GB, 5G, unlimited calls in Canada and the US... $39 a month"

"I 100000% recommend public mobile. Rogers has the best coverage but public mobile has excellent coverage and it’s super affordable."

"I use public mobile which uses the same networks as koodo and I haven't had the same trouble you're describing."

"Straight talk, 46 per month, I laugh at these fucktards who spend $150 on Verizon."

"I use Straight Talk, have for probably ten years and have never had a problem. It’s under $50 a month."

"Straight Talk for like 10 years now. The only place I've ever lost signal was in the middle of Wyoming."

"My wife is on Verizon (Straight Talk)."

"I have used Straight Talk for 7 years now and it's been pretty good for the most part. They use Verizon towers. I do the $45/ month plan. No issues outside of the occasional dead spot but those are few and far between."

"It’s prepaid version that uses vzw towers."

"I use Straight Talk. It's a prepaid service that piggy-backs off of Verizon's or AT&T's network."

"I have since switched to Straight Talk, which I believe uses AT&T towers."

"Straighttalk if you're not going to do a family/group plan."

"Wind. No problems when I'm on campus."

"I'm with WIND and have no problems with reception."

"Wind is the best way to go."

"I'm with Wind and there are only two buildings on campus that have no reception for me."

"Wind mobile has excellent billing."

"Wind is not perfect but on campus the only places I have reception problems."

"It has low quality of service. I.e. texts will get lost or delivered an hour late."

"Fizz. Super cheap, great perks."

"Fizz is pretty cheap, bell is also super cheap IF you have internet with then"

"Fizz for 4 years now! Made the switch from fido and havent had any issues so far coverage wise."

"Moi j’utilise Fizz depuis 4 ans pour mon cell et mon internet maison. Super stable et économique."

"I'm using Fizz, they have lots of good offers! The price is stable over the years."

"We have been trying out fizz mobile and happy with it thus far."

"Best network : Bell and Rogers. Best service : Videotron and Telus. I would recommend going with either Telus or Videotron."

"Telus has a 50GB US-Canada plan for $60."

"Telus has the best rural coverage."

"Telus or Koodo are your best bet."

"If you want lots of data etc. And the best customer service - Telus."

"I got Telus and it’s ‘meh’ at best"

"Telus is shit. Used to be on freedom (other family members still are) and are very happy with it."

"Bell/Telus, best coverage and highest 5G speed"

"I personally went through PlanHub.ca to make my choice because I didn’t want to pay too much, and in the end, I got Bell 150 GB for $50! A great deal."

"Coverage is King and in this part of Canada Bell and TELUS."

"I've had reception everywhere on campus with Bell."

"Bell is pretty good on campus, their rates suck though."

"Bell 5G is total garbage. I'm literally 25ft from a Bell 5G transmitter, its so terrible it automatically falls back on LTE/4G 99% of the time because its just garbage."

"We use bell and it’s TERRIBLE. We don’t make phone calls bc we get dropped or no one can hear us… so we are switching back to rogers."

"I use and love Tello. But you need an unlocked phone."

"My tello service which runs on T-Mobile works great"

"Consumer Cellular."
