I plan on finally making the switch from Android to iPhone. I hate ATT, was with them several years ago (when they were Cingular) and switched to TMobile but ATT currently has the best LTE coverage where I live. I tested with a friend's ATT iPhone 5 and I was able to get good LTE signal inside of my apt.
With Verizon, I have no beef with since I have never been a customer of theirs and few people that have had them never complained about them. I tested coverage with a friend's LTE Android phone (Bionic), I was only able to get about 2-3 bars of 3G inside of the apt. Verizon signal seems to boot down to 3G coverage around my apt complex (1-2 block radius) then it goes back to 4G LTE once outside that area.
Right now Fry's has a special on 32GB iPhone for 249 and I signed up for Best Buy's GC offer so I can take it down an additional 50. Unfortunately, Frys is out of ATTs 32GB iPhones for a while so BB won't price match it because the item is not in stock. Fry's does have the 32GB iPhone for Verizon. So I'm stuck trying to decide if I should just get the ATT version and only use the 50 GC since I know it gets the best signal inside of my apt or get the Verizon version where I can save an extra 50 (100 since getting 2 phones) but sacrifice a bit of signal even though when at home I'll have the phone using wifi? A little part of me thinks to go with Verizon since as long as there's enough signal coming through to push through calls and texts I should be fine and signal gets better after I pretty much leave my apt complex.
