When choosing a phone service provider, it is necessary to research the coverage area offered by each company. Do not assume the phone will work everywhere. While many advertise nationwide service, the truth is there are many rural and mountainous parts of the country that are dead zones with no cellular service at all. All a wireless company needs to do to advertise nationwide coverage is to have a presence in each state. Look on the website of the phone service provider for a coverage map. Save time and money by verifying that coverage is currently available at all locations required locations.

Unfortunately, cellular phone companies do not cover all areas equally. A provider that may have perfect cellular phone service in some places will have huge no service areas in others, sometimes even in the middle of larger cities. Talk to your friends and neighbors and find out if they are happy with the service provider they use. Most carriers also offer detailed coverage map information on their website that may help you choose an option that will have coverage where you need it.

Checking A 3g Coverage Map?

When deciding on a cell phone service provider, you're going to want to check the 3g coverage map before you decide on a cell phone or a plan. The reason you will want to do this is because you want to make sure that your provider has access to service in your area. Some areas that are more rural may not have as good of coverage as an area that is in or near a major city. However, just because 3g service may not be available in your area doesn't mean that a 2g network doesn't cover your area. It may be a good idea to ask a representative from your provider of choice to see exactly what coverage you can expect, though.
