Consumer Reports says Consumer Cellular is super good but AT&T is not good. CC uses AT&T hardware so that sounds odd. How is AT&T's signal here in our area?
Anyplace....especially Lusby. I want to get far away from Verizon, contracts, big money, ignorant service but I'm concerned about paying less and getting zero.Where in Calvert?

AT&T yet again the worst-rated carrier in U.S. | Mobile - CNET News
I agee with you..
But finding a company that offers services comparable to Verizon (4G) locally is impossible.
Staight Talk would be a GREAT deal for me.. BUT it also uses AT&T and little 3G service here, and NO 4G service South of the Base.
Straight Talk $45 per phone unlimited Voice Text and Data.
Verizon, >$90 for the plan THEN 40 a month per phone or device, with very limited or expensive data
No set monthly fee, or unlimited plans use Verizon that I can find.

The ST smart phones have the red map on them. They cost more than the AT&T and Sprint ones.
The ST non smart phones with a C behind the model number are Verizon.
There are certian straight talk phones that use verizons network, that said I have no issue with AT&T. In my building on base I have reception and the Verizon customers don't.

The last 6 or 7 Verizon phones I've bought all had SIM cards.."Can I buy a Verizon compatible SIM for the Smart Phone I already own??"
If your current phone is AT&T, it uses GSM technology and a SIM card. Verizon phones use CDMA technology and do not use SIM cards (except their global phones which also contain a GSM section for overseas use).

Thunderbolt..
Galaxy..
and whatever phones the kids have now.
Those were Memory Sticks. I have the Thunderbolt. And the the Thunderbolt also has a 4G Sim Card. It is strictly a CDMA Phone using LTE 700 Mhz Class 13 for the 4G portion. My Thunderbolt is a piece of junk. My wife has Net 10 and pays just under 49.00 for unlimited talk, text and data. Uses the ATT network and great service!! We live slightly south of the base off Rt5 and GM. Bayridge Area. As soon as I can, I will pay the ETF on my Thunderbolt and switch to Net 10 also and their family plan of 90 a month. Before my wife had an Android X and me the Thunderbolt. We were grandfathered with unlimited plan. We paid for 2 phones and a discount from company just under 200 a month. Now she pays 49 and I am still paying anywhere between 110 and 120 a month and I make maybe a dozen calls a month on a 750 a month plan. Cannot figure how Verizon figures their bills. But they are down-right dirty. And will be very glad to be rid of them!!
Bill...
If you go a just a few miles south of where you live, you're screwed unless you have VzW.
Those were Memory Sticks. ...
Straight Talk phones use Verizon's prepay network that is not the same as their plan network. I found this out the hard way. Same goes for Verizon's prepay phones. They use a different network as well. I bought Set Your Location and cannot use it. Now it's just sitting in my dresser drawer. I even tried to sell the damn thing and couldn't sell it anywhere.
Verizon doesn't have a seperate network for prepay, what I suspect they do is they rent the Sprint network because that is also CDMA.

Wouldn't that be the definition of "separate network for pre-pay"?
Also want to add that I have no problem with AT&T all the way south to St Marys and St Inigios, nor any problem at St James Pub or Charlies resturant.
