Heads Up For Cell Phone Agents In The Southeast

I received an article today from a cell phone user in Alabama, and thought I’d share it with any agents who may sell cell phone service in the South. What it comes down to, is a choice between AT&T and Verizon, and they differ on coverage and 3G service….

“I know a lot of people these days are seeing Verizon Wireless and AT&T commercials bashing it each other. Well, I would love to tell you my view from each. I am from the state of Alabama and I rarely travel outside of the Southeast. From my part of the country when you decide between AT&T and Verizon you must choose between two things: incredible coverage or 3G.

I chose to go with AT&T for their incredible coverage. I could be in the middle of nowhere Alabama in a basement and get a signal from AT&T while my friend, who has Verizon Wireless, could easily get a signal in the city, but has no signal whatsoever while on the highway or out in the country. On the other hand if you are a business man who can afford bad coverage for great 3G, then Verizon Wireless is your best friend. Verizon has incredible 3G coverage in the city, and if you were to be able to get the iPhone on Verizon then I would suggest going that route. Overall though if you are looking for consistent coverage no matter where you are in the Southeast United States choose AT&T.”
