FWIW...all cellphones are able to call 911...even if there is no contract on the phone and it's not registered to anyone. FCC regulations. Pick up a phone for the carrier of your choice at a yardsale for a couple of bucks and you can use it to call 911 in an emergency (assuming the battery still works...)

As far as coverage...verizon does a good job up here, I have had visitors with other providers that did not get a good signal. A lot depends on the phone too. My last phone was an LG versa (?), and I got a solid 3 bar signal in the basement. Now I have an iPhone, and I have to be in the front yard with the wind blowing in the right direction to make a call.
