tough one to answer but I also look for what's the best signal at places I normally go. One place in Maine I go the only carrier that gets a signal is verizon.
I know some might say one is faster then the other etc but for me if I can't get signal it might as well be one of those tin cans with a string lol.

I agree with the signal aspect. As a coach I travel a lot and need my data speed to be pretty good as well.

I agree the local coverage is more important than download speeds

Since this question is a bit on the ridiculous side, I'll give a ridiculous answer.
Land-line.

Should I switch to Verizon?

I have T-Mobile with galaxy nexus.
I live in Chicago Northwest suburbs and coverage is pretty good and I don't travel like at all.
Let's say id pay the same each month.
What advantages would Verizon give me. Is it just lte and coverage?
But then what would T-Mobile give? Seeing as its worse coverage?
I'm more asking about the carrier rather than device differences. I've read enough threads on that.

Stay away from Verizon, that's all i can tell you.. i just got rid of them they really expensive just cancel my service with them
Why should I stay away??
Forgetting price . Cause for me will be the same.

It would be nice to hear from people who had both.
How were your experiences within your phone.
I never really played with a Verizon phone but does it seem things load more instant on them?
I know this deals with internet speed and ping and so on.
I would have lte here so keep that in mind. I have been with T-Mobile for so many years and just feel awkward leaving but for same price and from what I hear much better coverage and speed why not??

I live in Oregon and have worked for (and had) T-Mobile. I now am on Verizon.
T-Mobile was good coverage in the city which worked for me but as soon as I hit the outskirts I had edge or no coverage. The terrain where I live is very rough on a GSM phone. I could have a phone call at the top of the hill and driving to the bottom I would loose signal. CDMA doesn't have that issue because you connect to more than one tower on CDMA and coverage is amazing with Verizon, 3G everywhere even up in the mountains here.
What drew me to Verizon is their coverage, high end devices to choose from (T-Mobile only has a few good.phones every now and then). Verizon is very aggressive in investing money in their network which makes a solid reliable experience. By far, best service I have ever had hands down.
Thank you.
These kind of examples are exactly what I want to hear.
I have heard similar experiences to yours.
I'd like to hear why people do not like Verizon besides high prices .
I've heard customer service isn't the best as one but anything else??
I always felt T-Mobile had pretty good selection of phones so if Verizon's is even better that's great.

Verizon has good customer service I've been using them since 2001.
Their coverage is great. Cost is yes high, but for the most part, since I'm in a family plan of 3, it will cost the same (roughly).
If you want a GNex (I'm assuming it's why you posted here), buy the GSM 3G version and activate it on T-Mobile to keep the great low prices.
I currently have T-Mobile with GSM but have an oppurtunity to join gf's family plan and pay 40 a month to have more minutes than I'd ever use and unlimited texting and 4gb data.
So basically price not being a factor I'm leaning towards going with Verizon

I've been on all major carriers in NYC. Of the 4 Verizon has the best call quality, data speeds and customer service . It's also the most expensive. I don't mind paying a little more for good service. T-Mobile is good but in my experience it doesn't have comparable data consistency and coverage where I work and live.

I kind of feel that my situation is similar to yours. Plus with the fact that prices would be same I think I'll go for Verizon.
I have been with T-Mobile like 7 years and just feel weird going to different provider. Maybe that's the only issue here, me missing T-Mobile lol but I bet I'll be even happier.

Verizon has really good customer service. They've beaten T-Mobile 2-3x in a row now for customer service.
With Verizon you do need to get used to things being locked down (proprietary CDMA stuff) but if you plan on getting the gnex then I wouldn't worry. I've had 3 android phones and 1 iPhone on Verizon. The gnex is my favorite device by far, hands down

Here in where I live in Bama Verizon is the ONLY carrier with reception everywhere, not only that but the LTE is amazing! The price is more expensive but actually having service outweighs it. I love my Verizon and will never go back to AT&T. That's my two cents.

Sigh, I don't miss AT&T one bit. I paid an ETF to leave them last year, I wanted to switch to VZW while they still had unlimited data. Best money I've ever spent. NYC was notorious for bad service on AT&T. Here's my rank, from MY experience. I realize there are a ton of GSM fans out there, but here's my list.
1. Verizon
2. T-Mobile
3. Sprint
4. AT&T

I see there's a thread about getting unlimited data back on by adding tethering first then cancelling it. Apparently its been pretty successful.

I really thought Verizon 4G LTE was better than this

I just switched from Sprint 3G to Verizon 4G LTE. I was really hoping for a big improvement. I "kinda" got what I wanted except in the one place I am at the most....work. I spend 9-12 hours a day at work in a factory and the Verizon signal just barley makes it where I sit all day. I basically don't get 4G unless I go outside. Sprint was killing me with 20Kbps download speed and I got tired of it. Now I may be stuck in the same with Verizon. On the bright side Verizon does work very well outside of my work, unlike Sprint.
I did install a custom rom with latest updates. Android Revolution 4.0.1
What's the question?
You're worried about data speeds inside a factory?

More of a comment. I thought 4G would work better than 3G. I sit at a desk in the factory. So yes I'm concerned about data.

because of the frequency, LTE is worse inside buildings if i remember correctly.
the good news, your 3g is faster than sprint by a long shot
It's the nature of the beast. In many factories, you're going to run into quite a few things that are going to impair RF transmissions. Some frequency bands may propagate better than others, but you need to bear in mind that it's already a suboptimal environment.

I don't know much either, but I doubt they would do anything about it unless there's a profit involved
I guess they could have "supercharged" service for more money haha.
Bite your tongue!
Being at work.....doesn't that mean you should not be using your phone for personal use? I know everybody does it but too many people abuse the time clock.....
that being said, maybe you should not be bummed that your phone doesn't work at crazy speeds, this way you can be great full for the job you keep in this tough economy.
Not trying to sound like a d!ck but complaints like this are really unneeded and undeserving.

Only solution I could suggest is to use wifi calling if you have wifi at your work place. Thats what I do since I have no reception at all in my cubicle.

Verizon doesn't do wifi calling. That said, I think the poster has a data issue, not a voice signal issue (they are separate for us).

You would probably get a much better signal with the RAZR. I was getting 2 bar of 4G LTE in my basement, where my Galaxy Nexus could barely keep a 3G signal. Unfortunately the radios on the Galaxy Nexus suck, so that may have something to do with it.

Should be the Q&A forum. SGS3 has worse reception than the SGS2. Also has a left hand grip signal drop issue. This causes the phone to switch to EDGE a lot. Check this thread out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756280
I would say very good. Perhaps not excellent, but very good, imo.
crap speeds in denton texas..
4G at all times in NW Burbs of Chicago. Honestly best reception on any T-Mo phone I've owned in 10+ years.

Sorry
I do know better, I just had a few tabs open and click on the wrong one. I guess So far IL has 1 good result. I have heard some negatives about tmobile overall, but what I read online was fairly positive. So I am still deciding on which carrier to try.
I took the liberty of e-mailing the president of Samsung about this issue. I called Samsung and they provided me with this e-mail after I professionally told them about the issue and how more then a few people were having this issue. I will be informing about any updates.
Chicagoland is so big that it is hard to generalize. I've been with TMO since the voice stream days in the western suburbs and have been generally been pleased with it. I've had the gs3 for a week now and reception is the same as my htc hd2. Data of course is much faster.

Bad reception - my phone or sprint?

I know this question may only apply to me, but I've always wondered about the answer.
I've been in sprint for over 10 years and the epic touch is my 3rd android phone. No matter where I am in the country and what modem is have running on my phone, I've always had very poor reception.
I'm at the point of changing phones and providers because the issue is so bad.
Does sprint really still suck or is it my phone?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

IMO, Sprint is not the best carrier for reception in all areas, but they are one of the least expensive considering they still have an unlimited plan. You could change the PRL to roam on other carrier's towers, but if you use too much data you can have your contract cancelled I hear.
Might be your phone /area

Yes, and to get around that $10 fee, it is now called data fee instead of 4G fee. I heard that when they were calling it the 4g fee in areas that did not have 4g there was a class action law suit brewing.
My phone gets similar reception to wife's HTC and friends iPhones on Sprint. Visit a Sprint store that also does service and compare to other phones. Maybe yours has a bad radio?
Maybe I'll bring my phone to test my radio. I travel the nation and am always in a major city (San Francisco, New York, Chicago, etc). As soon as I walk into a building, my reception goes to pretty much zero.
Sounds a bit extreme. Only time I notice reception that bad is walking into one of the walmarts here that must block cell service. I live in a fairly crappy service area too. 97504 if you want to take a look for yourself

Well that's your problem. Concrete + steel beams tend to block out higher end frequencies like 1ghz+ freq's like our 1900mhz cdma & 2.5ghz wimax. No solution to that until you get LTE 800 and CDMA-1x advanced @ 800mgz
I've had 5 phones with Sprint in Minneapolis. My E4GT has the weakest signal of any of them.
Speeds in my area at least seems to be better. 3g speeds/reception at my job went from unusable to being able to stream netflix/youtube vids easily. But yea the E4GT like others have said doesn't have the best built-in radio.

I have a feeling Clearwire LTE will arrive in Medford, as clear does operate the 2.5/2.6ghz (not sure which) but only that it was for pre-wimax devices and never got around to updated the towers to the newer wimax system due to money issues, but, at least once clearwire starts updating to LTE towers, just maybe they will remember this cities.

I'm in NJ and I made the switch recently. Despite everyone telling me I'd get terrible coverage, I've actually found it better than I had with Verizon. Don't get me wrong -- Verizon's LTE completely blows away HSPA and + in terms of speed, but so far I've gotten far more consistent 4G coverage than I had with LTE.
That being said, I'm located in Middlesex. So I can't say how good T-Mobile is down in Monmouth. Up here though it's excellent. I go from Scotch Plains --> Newark/Parsippany areas for work and I get excellent 4G coverage everywhere I go.

Can't test from in your house. Do you think T-Mobile goes inside your house and tests the connection? I too have "good" service, inside i cannot get HSPA outside i get 1~3 bars. So the map is accurate. Granted, not perfect.

Newark NJ get 10mb down, work in Fairfield NJ get 5/6mb down... pretty reliable. sometimes spotty at work(knew this from their coverage map, which to me it's its extremely accurate) but mostly reliable.
