Cell Phone Service ? Especially Cricket

[mike4sigs]

I am with Verizon and have been for 20 + years. Service in my area Seems to be getting worse instead of better so i am leaving Verizon and thinking of going to Cricket anyone else use Cricket? What do you think of of the coverage area ?
Do you have many missed or drop calls because the service? i am thinking they Piggy back off ATT towers.
looking for pro's and con's of Cricket cellular

Daughter has it and likes it. Abooot the same with Verizon. Bad signal and expensive plans. But about all that works out where I live.. meh

Considered Cricket a few years ago but went with Ting instead. Various plans available that don’t require long term signup and you can switch plans more or less at will. Works for us.

Remember, any service that “piggybacks” is not the same priority as the service that owns the network. If you live in the sticks, they all suck, not enough towers. If your income relies on solid phone service get the name brand network, if not save money, but deal with worse service.

Northern Madison Co here, have used Cricket for 8-10 years now with great service.
We have two phones with unlimited unlimited and unlimited and each with 5 or 10 gig hotspot each month. The plan we have always had is $80.00 a month on autopay for both phones.
I depend on my phone for surfing a few forums, email and porn.
She depends on her phone with what she does for a living.

Do they have a coverage map? Do they work on other companies towers for that coverage?

My wife and I switched to Cricket a couple years ago after about 25 years with Sprint.

It's worked fine for us.

Invite a friend over that has ATT and see how their service is. You can also see who's towers are where:

AT&T Mobility (United States of America)Cell Tower Map

That doesn't always work. My brother has ATT and his phone works fine at my house. My buddy has Cricket and it's a crap shoot. I imagine it's prioritizing, but it's not like I'm in a heavily populated area.

I have Verizon and even have good service, but making phone calls is almost impossible sometimes. The whole deal doesn't make sense to me.

do you have broadband internet? if so turn on wifi calling. It sends the calls out through your cable modem. You'll get more reliable service with that.

THe only downside is the calls dont transfer out to the towers if you leave wifi coverage. You'll drop the call after you leave the house and have to call them back.

It likely is priority but keep in mind that heavily populated areas have more towers closer together. In your area you could have more users per tower than the city…

I actually have Verizon for the internet. I usually have 4 bars and for maybe a mile radius around my house I have a hard time with phone calls. Internet works fine, texting fine, phone calls nope.

That's true. Not sure how many towers are around, but I can see one from my house.
