We are coming down to the last couple of months on our cell service. We've been with T-mobile for a number of years and have not been very satisfied.

Who do you have? How is their service?

From what I've read, it depends on the area of the country. Some services are great some places, and really stink in others. If you're happy with what you have, why switch?

We've had Verizon for as long as I can remember. Great service up in Jersey, and very good reception down here in the NC mountians. Even had service hiking trails up on the Blue Ridge. But others have said that Verizon totally s*cks in their neck of the woods.

we have decided as a family that we'd really like to be able to make phone calls from inside our house... so staying with T-Mobile is NOT an option.

Verizon is one of the best, but believe me when I say you will pay for it.

Now see, you didn't say this in the OP. Check if Verizon will let you "trial" their service to see if it fits your needs. If I'm not mistaken, they have a grace period in the begining of the contract, where you can cancel without penalty. But I could be wrong, so check first.

I have Verizon. I'd go with somebody else if there was anything better.. Unfortunately there isn't..

Verizon has a strong signal but ATT isn't shabby and they are cheaper and more flexible.

I have had them all except Sprint which is only usable on Highways most places. Have been with ATT for 5 years after VERIzon pissed me off one time too many.Coverage is close to the same and both have ripping fast 4g. I have an Android and a Windows Phone and an I Phone but the Windows phone blows the others aeay because is is so simple to use and sincs with your Home computer easiest and also Microsoft Office..

I have to have righteous phone service. When you're in the bunkers behind concrete walls in rooms with electrostatic you want service if you're working on things. Had them all and it varies widely by region.

T-Mobile in Tampa...downtown...is okay...start moving away from it and you're screwed especially out in the boonies.

VZ...same only it's more expensive and doesn't work in my work environment at all. When their techs come out I warn them and they laugh.."Oh, I have the iPhone (or some other "grand" phone) it works EVERYWHERE!"...they try to call and they don't even get one bar! Can't even get dialtone! Kinda cracks me up when it happens. They see me on my phone...working...and I shrug!

Sprint...better BUT their customer service blows. I had a broken phone...they sent a replacement...it was a used broken phone! After doing the same thing before? Yeah. It was going nowhere!

I switched to AT&T that day. I have never had a dropped call. 4g in the metro area and out in the boonies...I have service where others have to stand on one leg...one hand in the air...wait..don't move...go back to that position...okay...can you hear me now...I crack up!

I have Verizon, great service, here in FL and when I lived in NJ, problem is, you pay for it. They are the most expensive out there, and I will be switching after my contract runs out.
