I had tried note 3, s4, lg g3 on verizon in rural area of colorado, conifer and evergreen. I found out that so fair iphone 5s has the best reception. I am able to listen to pandora on iphone 5s without loosing data connection it switches between lte and 3g without an issue. Even 3g speeds seems faster on iphone 5s. I wonder how is reception of iphone 6 plus in rural area any issues with reception ? I used iphone 6 gold on tmobile and it had been avoiding lte stuck in 4g in lte coverage areas, on verizon it was switching to 3g in lte coverage areas.
