We have had Nextel (now Sprint) for years here in the northeast.  Only had problem in Maine getting reception.  Do any of you have them for your cell phone service?  We go fulltime in 17 months.  Contract expires in about 12 months.  Looking at options.  We like the Direct connect option.

Feedback appreciate.

most of our family, and relitives uses Verizon, so we all can call each other anytime without worring about charges.

This (not coverage) was the main reason we chose Verizon.

We have Nextel/Sprint as well, and we too like the direct connect feature. However, we are switching to Verizon in a couple months when our contract is up because of the wider coverage that Verizon has.

We use Cingular/AT&T because most of our family uses it. It seems that most Full-timers use either Verizon or Cingular because they seem to have the best coverage throughout the US.

None of the carriers have coverage everywhere, and there are areas in the US where there is no cell coverage at all. (Out in the middle of Montana for instance, where we were broken down along US 2.)

Remember that Verizon moves to Alltel when they don't have coverage.

Jon and Kathleen - guess we are glad we do have Sprint right now. We were in the White Mountains in June for a week and for the most part had service. Love that area when without the Old Man of the Mountain! We will really consider all options in another year.

We've been fulltiming for 10 years now and still haven't found but one that'll give us full coverage and that is "tracphone" I guess they use everybody's tower. Where we're at now tracphone is the only one that'll work of the big four. Strange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Peaceful
