Verizon
I've been with Verizon for about a year now on a grandfather plan that I had purchased, and the voice and data service has been good in comparison to reviews I have read from users on other carriers. In my area I usually average 4G speeds between 7-10 Mbps (download) and 4-9 Mbps (upload). Although these numbers may look good to some, they are not the best speedtest results I've seen on Verizon, which were around 18-34 Mbps (download) and 10-18 Mbps (upload) when I lived in Michigan. But the speeds I'm currently receiving in the Phoenix area are acceptable and enough to fulfill your needs when it comes to streaming any form of media.

Very slow Internet on my IPhone and I Pad. Text messages not receives and many calls dropped Travel to Scottsdsle in the Wintet and overall service is very poor. Just Returned from Turkey where the service was much better even in small towns where you would expect no service. My area has fourth rate service and I am tire of it Time to change carriers and hope for better results.

Obviously, the big complaint with Sprint is the fact that many of us have 4g capable phones, but there is no "official" 4g service. There is a good amount of 4g (and I've tested it myself) in certain parts of the Valley, but when you are outside of those select areas, you are subjected to some of the most pathetic and laughable speeds imaginable! Speed in the 32nd and Shea (as with much of Phoenix) is often in the 100kbps-250kbps range. Ridiculous, even subpar for 3g! In the hotspots, I admit that the speeds are much better, probably around 7-8Mbps, with 1.2Mbps upload. I havent noticed any call problems in the 4 months so far with Sprint. Data is my big beef with them! To see exactly where the hotspots are, you merely need to go to Sprint's primary 4g partner, Clearwire, and check their coverage map. you'll see alot of 4g in parts of North Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale, and for some crazy reason, way the heck out west by Buckeye. DO NOT TRUST WHAT SPRINT ASSOCIATES in stores or kiosks tell you about 4g rollout. They aren't evil kids, they just simply have no idea what they are talking about, and I think it has just become easier for them to say "oh, it'll roll out in a few weeks" rather than tell you the truth, which is "I have no idea." Clearwire seems to be much more accurate, so go to their website if you really want to see Sprint's progress (if you can call it that) in their 4G rollout.

Very poor reception in my house. Dropped calls. No Data, Many many calls to Sprint tech support, trouble tickets issued, problems never resolved. I have gone weeks at a time with Tower being down. Was told 4G was coming very soon that was a year ago. Sprint charges 10 extra for premium data!

AT&T is horrible in the Fountain Hills, AZ neighborhood.

Signal is at full strength most of the time, so I shouldn't be complaining. However it is for 3G only, and not 4G LTE which my phone is capable of. I have to go to Scottsdale or down Beeline by the dump in order to use super fast LTE.

I have been a customer with this carrier since they were Airtouch Cellular and I had a 3 pound brick of a phone. I was almost tempted to the Dark Side which is AT&T for one reason, the Apple iPhone. Thankfully AT&T finally got their monopoly taken from them. I have heard nothing but horror stories about AT&T's coverage and uselessness. Thank God I got a Droid X when they came out and that held me over until Apple finally released a CDMA Verizon compatible iPhone. I have NEVER had a dropped call after they switched to digital coverage and phased out analog. And the cherry on top is that the Verizon version of the iPhone is GSM compatible as a world traveler I have 2 GSM phones that I use in the Philippines, Taiwan, Cambodia and Thailand where I use prepaid sim cards, now after asking them, Verizon unlocked the sim slot allowing my iPhone to work overseas, and as a plus they also include a Verizon sim that will allow you to use it in an emergency, albeit at a premium price. This gives you service until you get you sim pack and load your international sim. Verizon 4 life!

Sprint service in N. Scottsdale Grayhawk area is awful! I have an AirRave booster signal just so I can have service in my condo but when I walk out I lose the call. Texting is awful. I get error messages when I send then the network tries to keep resending so my friends get duplicate texts, sometimes 10+. One friend got the same text from me 22 times! Friends have asked me to stop texting them. Had same problem with two different phones. Also, some text messages just are never sent or I don't receive.

From Shea Blvd.to Via De Ventura and from Pima Rd to at least 110th St. is a Sprint dead zone.Since my home and my work are both within this (Scottsdale Ranch) area this phone is practically useless. I'm lucky if a call lasts a minute before dropping, and even then the sound keeps breaking up. Even sending a text usually results in a network access error. Everyone I know who gets a good signal in this area has Verizon. I'm switching too!
