Lease cell service....

[Chef]

We hunt between Cranfils Gap and Fairy in Hamilton Co. With AT&T I could stream video and use my hotspot to watch football games and work at the Ranch house. With Sprint, I cant make a phone call or text from the house. I only get signal in my stand (it's on the highest point of the property) and it's a roaming LTE signal. I get BS corporate answers from Sprint when I ask about coverage out here. Its 2018... we have 5G on the near horizon, they say we put man on the moon but we cant get a dang phone to work in rural america...

Sprint sucks outside of the cities or on major roadways. I've been hunting with a guy for 11 years with Sprint and he bitches about it dang near every time I see him. He's been saying he's going to change to AT&T since he saw how good AT&T worked at our lease the first year.



Now he's still with Sprint because they are "cheaper". I asked him what good is cheaper if there is no usage where you spend a lot of time. He couldn't answer that. His phone is basically a paperweight once we get to the front gate or inside my cabin with the booster....and even with the booster his data and internet usage sucks.

Just change to AT&T. I was unable to recieve service with Verizon out west. Now I can. It is important as you mentioned. I made the switch two weeks ago.

Cell towers are expensive to build. They pay up to $5000 a month just for the space they put it on. No company can survive if they provide an expenssive service that very few people will use. I have to drive 6 or 7 miles from our cabin in northern NY to get to any providers service area. We use a network extender at our cabin. It's basically a mini cell tower that works through the internet.

You’re probably screwed. Fortunately Sprint is the only one that does work at our place in Coleman. That is the main reason I have kept them for so long. I guess I just got lucky.

Just switched to Sprint from ATT. Sucks and completely worthless.

Gonna get a prepaid ATT phone for lease. Sprint sux worse than TMobile.....didnt think that was possible.

My place is opposite. My AT&T service is worthless and everyone who has switched to Verizon can stream Netflix and do anything they want. What’s really frustrating is that the Verizon tower they work off is fed by AT&T fiber.

Seems like in East Texas Verizon is the way to go and not AT&T. Made the switch two years ago and I have much better reception.

He can have fun with his cheaper phone bill when the phone doesn't even work.

Problem is that AT&T is junk at my house. Sprint works much better, not perfect, but better than it was with AT&T.
