Best Cellular Carrier Coverage on 30A?

I live in MS where Cspire has great coverage but I'm finding it impossible to use this phone on 30A, particularly indoors. I'd like to spend more time visiting 30a while tending to my day job but it is difficult to maintain the illusion that I'm not at the beach when I'm dropping calls continuously.

Could anyone with Verizon or AT&T phones share their 30A experience.

Thank You

Verizon rocks! I had At&t and finally switched because I dropped almost every call and in the season I couldn't get service. Get Verizon!

Verizon is the way to go. Still lose bars and coverage when the ATL hordes descend, but better than ATT.

AT&T @ BMB on Hwy 83 South be ice cream shop will just drop a call from a standing still
Location. Will check Verizon in Nov.

Cell phone companies with least network problems/dropped calls/etc

Hi All. We recently relocated to SRB near 98 and Mack Bayou. We have iphones with AT&T. We have had service issues with dropped calls and not having service. We have been told it is because of all the teen spring breakers and the overloads of the network. We were also told that a tower was down. I understand those are situational problems that will happen in a tourist town. But, I am wondering if Verizon Wireless or Sprint Wireless may have less service problems.

Can you tell me what wireless company you use and if you have many service issues? I am looking to switch to a provider with the least problems. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!!

My wireless is with Verizon. I have great service, with the small exception of a small drop between Seacrest and Alys.

I will say that last year, during the busiest Spring Break week (Atlanta public schools), as well as one or two other instances throughout the summer I could not dial out, people couldn't call me, and some calls were dropped or service was spotty in general. It was never enough for me to complain nor did it effect my work, but one can expect the occasional interruption. Overall, service is much much better than it was 5 years ago.

I broke two contracts with AT&T to go with Verizon. Had an account with AT&T for 13 years. Happy with Verizon.

Same here. The only reason we signed up with att was for the new iPhone. The service was ok as long as we were not near 30A... Went back to verizon and everything is all better.

I had problems with Verizon this week at a very bad time. Got a call from the assisted living facility in GA regarding Mom falling. They thought she had broken her knee. They asked for my permission to send her to the ER. They couldn't understand me. The call was breaking up at a very bad time, me 5 hours from Mom and not being able to communicate. I went outside, didn't have a great signal, but was able to give them permission. BTW it was just a very bad bruise. Her second fall this year.

Following this thread, our contract is up and we are moving there in a few weeks...looks like AT&T is a no-Verizon maybe? Anything on T-Mobile?
