you guys have never let me down, so I have a question about cell phone carriers.
I have 5 lines and have had AT&T for 20+ years. Their coverage is pretty good everywhere except at my office in San Bernardino and my house in Havasu. But with WiFi it isnt a huge deal. My question is, should I switch to Verizon? How is Verizon's coverage on the lake or heading up river? My AT&T works pretty well all over the lake it seems and spotty up river. Thanks in advance

They all suck and I can’t wait for the day I get to tell them all to ESAD and cancel my services.

I work all over and have AT&T and Verizon in an attempt to get coverage everywhere and I still have issues.

Just got the Starlink for the service truck and will try VOIP.

Verizon is decent in San Bernardino but its not without its coverage gaps (mainly up by the foothills). If you're down by downtown its fine.

Verizon just massively improved cell service at Havasu Springs (though it could be a multicarrier improvement, I don't have other carriers). Verizon works well up in LHC proper but its spotty between the springs and LHC.

I can usually get decent cell service on the lake. Don't know about the river north of LHC or Parker since I'm not on it regularly but I think its probably hit or miss like others.

Verizon for the River. I switched from V to tmobile, no reception in Parker at all.

My work phone is Verizon and personal is at&t

Verizon is a hair better for coverage but both suck at the Springs.

If you have good service everywhere with AT&T except the office and Havasu house, but you have wifi there so it isn't a big deal, why are you wanting to switch? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Had both at the river and it all depends where you, both are good both suck 😁

If your only issue is at fixed locations add a Weboost antenna to the location. Super easy.

I run two sims on my phone, ATT personal and Verizon buisness. My phone switchs back and forth automatically to get the best signal. Verizon seems to be better in Parker, either one works in Havasu.

From Verizon's site, dark red is 5GUW and lighter shade is 5G.

good question...pretty much cost and customer service at AT&T just pisses me off!
