I had a house in the middle of the San Fernando Valley (near the Busch brewery. I mean the middle of the Valley). My company cellphone was T-Mobile, and it would not work in my house, an only bakery worked if I went outside.

My personal phone is Verizon, because making and keeping the connection was more important to me than texting.

Now they are 98% as reliable as the big 2 and just as fast. Plus, they picked up new bandwidth that better penetrates buildings. Last, they have WIFI calling and browsing (ATT only browsing), which is another layer to make sure their reception is up to snuff.

I only had connection issues in BFE Indiana. Otherwise, it's been great.

I also had a ting account for a secondary phone. They're Sprint as reseller. I was fairly happy with them, too.
