When purchasing a cell phone, most consumers will want to know where they have coverage. In large cities, this isn't as big of an issue, but for those who travel, it is essential. This article will compare the three best companies for coverage.

The nation's leader in coverage is Verizon. Their network offers service even in some of the most remote places. However, consumers pay a price - their customer service ratings are terrible and hold times are reported to be more than 20 minutes. Monthly rates for an unlimited plan run about $70 or higher.

AT&T is also well-known for their coverage. It is not rated as expansive as Verizon's in rural areas, but in cities, it is highly rated. Customer service ratings are average. Monthly unlimited plans cost about $65.

T-Mobile recently converted from GSM to 4G, expanding its coverage into rural areas. It is quickly expanding and growing due to its highest rating in customer service, which is superb. Their coverage is rated third-best. Monthly unlimited plans cost about $65, however their new prepaid plans cost even less for a fully unlimited plan.
