Recommendation for Cell Phone Carrier
Posted on 7/23/17 at 1:31 pm

I use my cell phone as my pager. My answering service sends my pages as text messages.
I've been with at&t forever. I've had an occasional issue with a page that I receive hours after it was sent. As a physician, this can be an obvious issue. I've tolerated it since it's occurred only on occasion.
This weekend, it has occurred 5 times. Specifically, a daytime page has pushed through to my phone at 3 am each of the past three nights. I've had it! I'm ready to switch carriers. Who can I trust?

Truly depends on your area and where you plan to use your phone most.
Generally speaking, Verizon offers the best coverage, but is the most expensive. Followed by AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint.
YMMV.
I personally have used Sprint for over 8 years and while their past reputation is well deserved, today's version of Sprint is unlike years past. It works. And it works everywhere I need it. I'm never without service, text messages go through quickly and 4 lines with unlimited everything for $100 (plus tax and fees) is unbeatable.
Your best bet is to go with the carrier that you think works best for you in your area and try them out. Return the phone and cancel the service before their return policy expires. You're only responsible for the activation fee (if any) and service that you use during your "trial period."

Why dont they just call you and leave a voicemail also?

Also with AT&T and noticed the delayed- and repeated-text issue this weekend -- text service is normally rock-solid and stupid-fast on my Blackberry Q10. Feels like text delivery time has crept up in the past few weeks.

Even though Verizon is king. Don't sleep on TMO.
