Verizon for sure!!

I had ATT forever, sinceI first got a cell phone at 15 and I just changed to Verizon on my FI's bill and I love it so much more. I had terrible service with ATT and with Verizon, it's so much better, especially with customer service. I really like the 5 talk plan where you can chose your own people, like the unlimited mobile to mobile. I like the options and prices better with Verizon, especially the family plan, and they have really good internet.

I just overall like everything about Verizon and I'm so glad I switched to his.

I had a terrible customer service experience trying to terminate my Verizon account so we could switch to AT&T (for the iPhone). On one hand, I'm inclined to say go with AT&T b/c Verizon was terrible to me. On the other hand, that means you might have to go through the same cancellation customer service hell I went through.

Verizon for sure!!

For us its a service issue, ATT markets in Southern Illinois but has horrible service here.  We own a boat and ATT doesn't work at all at the lake we go to.

Other than that I'd say all cell companies are going to be the same.  I've talked to verizon customer service multiple times and they've always been helpful.

I've added lines to my plan for small amounts of time and then cancelled and never had the problems @worcester is talking about as long as you're no longer under contract verizon has never given me issues and if you are under contract you just have to pay the fee which can be quite pricey.

To give a few more details, I was no longer under contract, but was the holder of a family plan that included my parents and sisters. I had a lot of issues terminating my line and transferring the plan to my parents, without terminating all of their lines as well.

Then a year later, there was some kind of problem with my sister's line, and Verizon sent a collection agency after me. No bills, nothing, just all of a sudden I was getting calls from a collection agency about charges that were incurred after my name was supposedly removed from the account.

Verizon refused to talk to me about it because their policy is not to talk to you about details once you have been referred to a collection agency. The collection agency said they had not been given any information, except that I owed Verizon $50. I just paid the $50 because the principled stand wasn't worth the hassle and the possible damage to my credit.

I think it really depends on your area for service!  I would say I think Verizon is better..we just switched to AT&T to get the iphone and we have had a lot of problems with dropped calls and echoing in the background..I never had these problems with Verizon.  You should price it out and decide which company has better service in your area!  Either way I think they are both good companies...But I do like Verizon better:)

FI has AT&T for the iPhone and I have Verizon and we are having a similar problem/discussion. He agrees with me that AT&T's coverage sucks where we are and where we go (I agree with PP that it depends on where you are at), and likes that I pretty much have service wherever. The problem is that Verizon doesn't have good phones , which is super important to my techie geek FI. So we came up with a pretty good compromise, we compared Verizon's prices to Sprint and Sprint has a much more reasonable family plan for us (unlimited Data and text, 700 minutes, nights start at 7) and the phones on Sprint are better. He had Sprint before he went for to AT&T for the iPhone and his coverage was good pretty much everywhere. So both of us are giving up our carriers and going to a new carrier together.
