AT&T since 2001(they were Cingular at the time, I believe). I get 21% off the bill, have 2 unlimited data plans on 2 iPhones. total = 125 - 130 incl taxes, fees etc. Happy with the service. Hope I get my 6S on launch day, since I will be ordering from them rather than Apple.
 
I searched for T-Mobile domestic roaming and found that they don't offer much data for roaming partners. Maybe they will get coverage soon?
Hoping and praying so. Apparently they are moving "outside in" and I am just in the reaches of a fairly large "bubble" of LTE that I can't imagine is too old. I also am sort of surrounded by these similar "bubbles," and I've seen things expand a few times. First my street got covered by LTE, then more recently a splotch of LTE appeared nearby that wasn't here before. Again, I imagine T-Mobile will be usable by the end of 2016/2017, they're moving quick.
 
I moved back and forth between Verizon and AT&T with the iPhone 4 and 4s, but I've been with the latter since the release of the iPhone 5. I'm happy with the coverage, the bill could be a little less (even with my FAN discount). But overall, I'm happy.
 
I use Verizon because it has the best coverage in our CO mountains. Even then, we often drive in areas where there is no coverage at all. But my Verizon coverage is far better than my daughter's AT&T.
 
T-Mobile here. Been with them since 1996 when they were called Powertel. I live in metro Atlanta so the coverage is great and I get great data speeds. I do understand that they are not the best in rural areas but I love my 4 lines 10 gigs each of data for $120. Happy they have made a comeback!
 
I've been with Verizon since 01. Only reason I stay with them is because of unlimited data. I have 3 lines on the 700 min plan (unlimited mobile to mobile and text messages). Since most of the people we talk to are via mobile we only use like 100 mins or so. My wife and I have unlimited data and my daughter is on the 2GB plan. My wife uses like 10GB and I use between 30-40 GB. I'm able to keep my daughter from having overages by turning on my hotspot if we are somewhere where there is no WiFi.
 
T-Mobile, can't beat unlimited data, the fastest data speeds, and a great price.

Also very impressed with the progress they've made in expanding their network over the past couple of years. Basically all of my road trips are all LTE now, even in the cow fields and pig farms, whereas a couple of years ago I would only see LTE in the cities.
 
i was with MetroPCS for 9 years but i switched to Boost Mobile cause of a specific phone (Sharp Aquos Crystal) that i liked but i dont have any complaints about MetroPCS.
 
Verizon since the Bell Atlantic days. Just moved to 10 gigs for $80 a few days ago. Tried tmobile and it was a no go on coverage.
 
Got on the Double the data promo plan with Verizon earlier this year. Was a short window for that promo so I'm glad I grabbed it when I did. At&t used to be a lot faster around here when they first turned on LTE, but then it has become congested. Though at&t works well in my home. T-mobile is also very fast around here. But overall Verizon works the best for me as a cell phone provider in the areas I work, play and travel.
