The number one thing that’s going to make your cell service a frustrating mess is coverage. Back in the day, carriers had commercials that touted how big their networks were. Now, that’s less common, but checking out coverage before signing up is essential, even if you live in a suburb or city. One provider could have a big dead spot in the center of town, while another doesn’t.
Nearly all providers in the U.S. use cell towers powered by one of the Big Three, so checking the coverage maps for Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile is a must. If you’re using a smaller carrier, find out whose towers they use, then check out the appropriate map. You may be surprised by what you find if you zoom in far enough.
It used to be the case that U.S. carriers were split between two competing technologies, GSM and CDMA, but these aren’t important anymore because they were only used for 2G and 3G networks, which are being phased out (per PCMag). Some people felt one worked better than the other, but all the major carriers now use a single standard, just different frequencies within that standard. In theory, they should all operate more or less the same in areas with similar levels of coverage.
