What's Really Important?

With all the carriers attempting to entice potential consumers with "Roll-Over Minutes," "Fair and Flexible", etc., it is tempting to choose a carrier based on incentives.

However, reception reliability should be considered first and foremost to save headaches later on. Even at a few dollars more a month, being able to send and receive calls in the neighborhood is justified.

The Reception Problem

An ongoing problem with finding a good carrier is that reception is so spotty. We've all experience great reception in the neighbors yard, but it suddenly drops to nothing when you try to talk in the kitchen. So what's one to do to find the carrier with the best reception?

Finding a good phone depends on finding a great carrier. Aside from the time consuming effort of signing up with a carrier, trying it out, canceling if its bad, and trying with another carrier until the best one is found, word of mouth was the only other way. There was nothing consumers could do... until now.

The Cell Phone Reception Search

We've asked our users to write comments on their providers and rate them so that future consumers can read what they have to say. None of these comments are solicited, and all are from our generous visitors looking to help others out. Currently there are thousands of comments across all carriers nationwide. Word of mouth on a much larger level.

Simply type in your zip code to bring up a list of comments within and around your area.

Please keep in mind that cell phone reception is incredibly touchy, depending upon the factors we mentioned earlier. You can understand why when you see the varying degrees of comments.

Determine the best carrier based on an overall feeling rather than specifics. Towers are built and improvements are constantly made, so the most recent comments are most reliable. But when determining which provider to go with, get a general feel rather than focusing on individual comments.

Eventually, as you read through the comments, you can see a general trend as to which service provider is superior in the area. Hopefully this will give you more of an idea rather than walking into a service plan blind.

Find The Best Plan To Suit Your Needs

After narrowing it down to one or a few providers, now is the time to consider incentives and rates. Nowadays, things are much more simplified. With the biggest concern usually lies in choosing National or Regional plans. But choices must be made to your specific needs.
