In rural areas EDGE works excellent for me, GPRS...forget it...but EDGE/GPRS in towns? Forget it, Its like having no data connection at all...when I see EDGE I just put the phone back in my pocket...at my house I literally can not refresh the facebook app or use a basic text page without an error...its likely because I live on a major State Route and a large school across from me but even in the afternoon its unusable :/ I will continue to use them on a secondary basis as I do love the company I just hate the coverage...heck I'd be willing to help them put up an LTE cell site right by my house but it seams they are working on other areas....its strange because I KNOW kids use T-Mobile at the school across from me and both Verizon and AT&T have set up a cell site more or less exclusively for the capacity issues of the school (its just behind stadium lighting on the football field). I should drop them a tip and see if it helps....
Unlimited LTE + $25 for you and me
new customers who have not had any lines referred yet - my email - iryna.rebates@gmail.com works like a charm. Thanks
P.S. Please note - I'm an exiting customer (referrer) looking to refer a line for new customers who have not had any lines referred yet. The reason I say it here is because I get lots of refer-a-friend emails from existing customers who think I'm a new customer looking to be referred.

Just switched over to the $80 unlimited plan here in Dallas with the phone I bought full price from Verizon. Working like a champ.

It's not everywhere of course and I don't know how it compares to lets say 40mpbs from cable carrier (I don't know if it's as reliable as cable), but that's what I get with speedtest at home
I rec'd my $25 gc today. Any tips on what to spend it on? Im hoping to pick up an official apple case for my 6+ But I've yet to see them in the store I go to. Any of you guys seen them in stores?
I look at this thread and I think you Americans are quite lucky to get 2G all of the time, in the UK there are still massive areas with no mobile signal of any description. Even major motorways sometimes have spotty coverage.
And we have no Verizon-like network that "just works" everywhere.

I switched to TMobile earlier this month and got some "no service" areas in my house. I thought that the signal booster would be the answer BUT the guy in the store assured me that if I turned on "WiFi Calling" in my settings, that would help immeasurably. It has. Now I am calling on my wi-fi set up.
TMobile is very much less expensive, and my expensive AT&T service dropped calls pretty frequently. I did have my iPhone 5 checked at the Apple Store and it was not the fault of the phone but of the carrier.
So far, so good. Love the unlimited texting (had no texting on my AT&T plan), unlimited talk, and data (had something like 2 gigs on AT&T and they made it sound like I had 400 Gigs). I am in Cincinnati and so far, no complaints. I don't think that rural coverage is going to be very good at all, but AT&T was really spotty out there in rural land, too.

Really? That's pretty surprising considering how small the land area is. I agree that we're lucky to have a network like Verizon. They offer LTE almost everywhere but even they still have a few holes.
