This may be a no brainer, But I have to ask. I have had Verizon for 3 yrs. with no problems, except billing problems, time and time again. However, I was wondering how AT&T shared national plans compare to Verizon's America's choice family plans. The coverage map seems the same, but how is overall quality and reception? Are there dead spots? I am not convinced that I will change, but am considering it. Thanks for your help.

AT&T's national plan has nowhere near the amount of coverage as Verizon AC plans.

AT&T National plan map

That is for TDMA. Their GSM national plan has less coverage.

Most carrieres will have a few people who are on family plans who have billing problems. The real deal is that if you are happy wioth your coverage DON'T CHANGE. If you want a realy good idea how things would go if you did, post what state and city/town/county you live in and ask for the ATT and Verizon performance in your area. People will definately let you know how the match up.

i agree verizons coverage dominates the at&t coverage as far as dead spots and dropped calls. if you happy with what you have id stay there.

Comparing Verizon to AT&T is like comparing heaven to hell. Upon entering the gates of hell, they take your Verizon phone away and give you an AT&T GSM phone! But seriously, you'd be crazy to leave Verizon for AT&T. CDMA rules!

Thanks Jackinbox,
It sounds like your on the fence about AT&T vs. Verizon, I really need to know how you feel...ha ha ha. Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Based on what you all say, I know now I must switch to AT&T....NOT !!!!!!!!

it depends where you are,
I had att GSM in the new brunswick/piscataway area and it sucked, didn't get any service in my dorms or inside some classrooms. Now, I went back to TDMA and it rocks, almost full service everywhere! By the way, my friends with Verizon phones here don't get the same coverage I do now with TDMA. It depends where you are!!!

Is there a reason that you haven't looked at Cingular? Cingular's GSM Nation has a lot of coverage and gives you more minutes for less money than Verizon's AC. Oh, and Cingular only charges $10 to add a phone to their plans while Verizon charges $20.

If you are happy with verizon stay with them.
