I have had a couple comments and questions as to why we picked Verizon and AT&T for our cell and internet coverage. Part of it is just comfort, we've been with AT&T forever back to the Cellular One days, and they have always given us decent customer service, we're used to them. As I said we use a Verizon hot spot for most of our internet on the road, and because of it we are able to monitor when we have Verizon coverage and through our phones determine AT&T's coverage. We use and subscribe to The Mobile Internet Resource Center run by a couple that work with internet and phone service specifically for RVer's and Boater's, and the nomadic lifestyle. Through info from them, studying the coverage maps, and our own observations over the years, we felt we could get the most bang for our buck by splitting between AT&T and Verizon. When we get back after another year of travel, we will be better able to evaluate that. Here are the coverage maps we used.
It turned out that most of the aggravation we experienced in the switchover was the obviously bad SIM card we received at the Verizon store. It's on them, but I think an unfortunate mistake.
