** Best Cell Reception?

Hi - Can you please offer your thoughts about best provider for cell reception?

> I looked though many of the postings and find only old/outdated posts.

> Any current experience with T-Mobile?

> I live in Santa Rosa.

> * I am only interested in reception, please, not stories about bad customer service (they're all bad...)

> I've been with Verizon for 12 years. I have no complaints about reception, but they are outrageously expensive! Plus, I am out of contract and absolutely detest 2-year contracts.

> I'm thinking about T-Mobile or something Walmart offers. (?)

> I also will be looking for a new 4G phone (mine is 3G only)

HEY - Thank you so much for your input!

Simply stated, Verizon has the widest network with the largest reception area in Northern California.
I have Virgin Mobile, and once I get more than 5 miles west of Sebastopol, have NO reception the rest of the way to work or until I get within 5 miles of home. Not a big concern for me, but for those who obviously can't live without their leash, they have to constantly have cellular service. Where I work, there is supposedly no cell service, hence the WiFi internet service we offer to our guests. Tonight I had a Verizon customer claim his phone had service at my front desk.

YMMV depending on model of phone.
