I have had both Verizon and AT&T. In the valley, I have had no problems with either service. There are specific towns where one works and another doesn't. Check with others in the town or city where you do most of your calling and go with that service unles you want a specifc phone. I make a frequent run toVermont from Springfield up 91 and beyond.. Both work fine to Brattleboro. Beyond that, for vast stretches, Verizon is non-existent. AT&T has 3G service in some very small towns where Unicel used to have towers which they took over and upgraded. A patchwork quilt of service is better than Verizon's complete lask of service. ...Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: hidden-discuss-bounces at lists.hidden-tech.net [mailto:hidden-discuss-bounces at lists.hidden-tech.net] On Behalf Of Stacy Kontrabecki Sent: Monday, June 21, 2010 2:51 PM To: hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net Subject: Re: [Hidden-tech] Verizon vs. AT&T coverage ** Be sure to fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. ** If you did, we all thank you. AT&T is the only service that works in Buckland (Shelburne Falls). Used to have Unicel until it became Verizon and tried for a month to get/place calls from W. Franklin County before needing to switch to AT&T. I get full coverage, but it is Edge and I'd agree bandwidth is an issue. My husband uses a regular phone and has lapses in receipt of his email of days - Phone reds 0 messages when he actually has 20 new ones! AT&T store in Noho told me last week all of MA will be 3G by the end of the year. I'm not holding my breath. -- Stacy Kontrabecki, MBA www.linkedin.com/in/stacykontrabecki www.facebook.com/stacy.kontrabecki _______________________________________________ Hidden-discuss mailing list - home page: http://www.hidden-tech.net Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net You are receiving this because you are on the Hidden-Tech Discussion list.
