AT&T Or Verizon

And I have great coverage everywhere in NH!

Any phone with CDMA service as great coverage in NH. SPRINT, VERIZON to name the top two have the same coverage with roaming on. Sprint, if you ask for it will give you free roaming. Maybe someone can tell us about the other services.

AT&T is GSM. GSM service is very spotty as you travel away from the interstate and North of Concord.

I agree AT&T does NOT have the same coverage, and I also agree the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you don't complain you don't get anything. It is the same with cable, DirecTv, etc....Even when I go to Sears I will ask if that is the price they can do. The most they can do is say no and I got to another store.
Last week I went to Home Depot and wanted to get a deal on a new Fridge for the house. I asked if that was the best price and then said quickly..."Don't make me go to Lowe's". I got an extra 10% off.....

Had Verizon for years, and it always worked wonderfully in the Lakes Region. My office moved locations, and the building was a complete Verizon dead zone, so I switched to Cingular (now AT&T). Coverage in the Lakes Region was abysmal in 99% of locations north of, say, Concord, and has gotten marginally better over the past 8 years. Eastern side of the Lake & into Moultonboro -- spotty. So I'd say Verizon, which in 2004 had superior coverage to AT&T in 2013.

Just wanted to correct this statement At&t is GSM and UMTS (3g) at all sites that are located in NH.
