said by MikeRaach:They are only getting better and better. Sure a few years ago they had dropped calls and what not, but now I've seen my friend's Metro work just as well as my Verizon. And that was including at my cabin in the boonies. Sure, they don't have unlimited roaming everywhere, but at 15cents a minute (I think that is what it costs for roaming), I'll gladly pay that in an emergency. I mean really, how often do you travel outside of your 'home' area? And now they include free texting in roaming areas so really, I'd never get charged that 15c/min. And even if I did, it sure would be a shitload cheaper than a Verizon contract for the same services. $50 for unlimited voice, text, internet...
I'm on a family plan split 4 ways on verizon and I pay $30 for my share. This is no net. Super cheap for verizon, but f-mn. I want my net and I'm not gonna pay double my current price just so I can get 5 gigs a month...
Verizon is the only carrier that provides 3G to my area.
