AT&T or Verizon...

It's that time again...decision time...down to the wire, and I don't want to make a foolish mistake...decisions are never easy for me to make. So, once again, I turn to my MyLot friends and see if they can help me to make this final decision. And here is the question: Which option offers the best service, AT&T or Verizon? Does Verizon really cover more area, like the commercials say? Which has better reception? How do the costs compare to the true value of the phone I will be getting? And, I will thank all those that respond in advance, for taking the time to advice. I am looking forward to seeing the results of this discussion...and hopefully I will be able to finally make my decision.

Hi, I just bought my frist cell phone for the first time. Previsly I only used the phones providedt my employer. the provider is verizon. I have used the verizon network for 8 years at my office now I have my own one. The network has worked well for me and I have no complaints. very few drop outs and alwasy good voice calls. the only complait I do have is low bars in some areas like my home and some other places, it makes the phone work harder and drains the battery quicker. but it depends on where you are at. I have chose a verison for my person one becae my gf family is on that network and I wanted to stay in there netork. my mon and brother have t-moble. they like it. I have never used at&texpect for internet so I can only speak for verizon. as for my plan, I got a free phone with voice calls and unlited texting, it has been fun texting for the fisrt time. good luck on your decition.

I say Verizon. My family's been with them for a long time and we have never had any problems. Great service, affordable. Unlimited texts and unlimited minutes with family members and all Verizon members.

From what I've heard (I'm with T-Mobile so I don't actually have any first hand experience), Verizon is much cheaper but their reception sucks! Despite their commercials that say that you'll have no "blackout" areas. AT&T's reception, I've heard, is MUCH better but it comes with a price - greater than Verizon's. So what's more important to you, affordability or good reception, I suppose it boils down to?
