Coverage in small cities

[twojosh]

Thinking about switching to ATT. I'm in the Chicago area and using a Droid turbo 2 on pre pay to test the network. It's okay, not great, could be the phone. Thoughts? How is ATT in in small, rural areas?

It depends on the particular ara. here in North Carolina, where there aren't many people who would buy $100-$1,000 phones, they have almost no coverage. But in areas between towns that would have customers, they have good coverage. (I did the same as you - a $10 TracFone to test the coverage. My Note didn't get any different coverage once I determined that AT&T covered what I needed. If they don't give the cheap phone decent coverage, I'd try a different cheap phone - TMO or Verizon - before being stuck with an $800 phone that didn't get good coverage.)

Download this app called "coverage map". It will show you the good and bad of each carrier in whatever area you want to see.

Thanks for the information. I downloaded and looked at the maps. They are not correct. I checked TMobile and the app said full coverage and I know from being there, it's not covered.
