Cell phone coverage

When selecting a cell phone provider the coverage area that they support is very important.  Often providers will supply a map of their coverage area.   This map is not the complete story.  Often times the map is a general idea of what areas you can expect to get full coverage from your cell phone company.   There is usually a notice in small print explaining that the map is used for general purposes only.

Another, more effective way to check out what company works best for your needs is to ask your friends and neighbors about their experiences.  There is what the cell companies’ call, “dead zones” throughout many cities.

My suggestion, make use of the 30 day return policy that many companies are offering now.  Usually, if you return the phone with a low number of minutes used within the first 30 days of your account opening you will receive a refund.  In the end, it is your personal experience that can outweigh all of the other suggestions.
