Best service in Southern RI

Colinmc, I can help you, I live in Hopkinton R.I. just south of you I travel everyday thru Exeter, North and South kingston and Quonset Point . the best provider in this area is Verizon. Nextel and Sprint have decent coverage , Cingular is spotty and Voicestream has the least amount of coverage here (there coverage is better from Warwick to Providence) Verizon is the best coverage from Warwick down south to the Rhode Island ,Connecticut borderline.

 

If you do try Sprint , lg phones do not work well in this area, I just tried a lg 1010 last month and the signal strength was terrible! My local Radio Shack store told me customers return the lgs all the time, Sanyos ,Kyoceras and samsungs work much better here . I tried a Samsung a-400 back in April and the coverage and signal strength was a lot better than the lg 1010. as far as Staples telling you they have the best coverage between S. County and Boston, Don;t believe it! He;s just trying to sell you a phone, they told me that too but their coverage doesnt come close to Verizon .I;ve compared them over and over. if you want the best in this area go with Verizon, good luck.

 

I am from the area had verizon now have t-mobile. Verizon has better coverage t-mobile is ok and you can get alot of great phones for them for free on amazon where for verizon the same phones will cost 150 to 200. Ie the v60

 

Of course Verizon is the winner. I was recently in Providence and went south to Scarborough beach and believe it or not Nextel had a good signal all over the area. Cingular (TDMA) was fading in some points along the road but in the beach it was fine. However, Verizon was more stable all over.

 

hey slayer12, have you used your voicestream phone at all in ashaway or wood river junction? if so how was your coverage. thanks.
