Best Mobile Carrier
Hi all!
Couldn't find a thread, please direct me if I've missed it!
Which mobile carrier is best for pilots? I'm coming to the US for a few months and will be flying primarily in Florida and Surrounding states (maybe one trip to Texas).
1. Who is best for coverage?
2. If its all the same, who has the best deals generally?
Thanks all!

Verizon works well for me, Florida to Seattle, any state. Only time I don't have signal is a few places in the west, and usually somewhere obvious like in a canyon, or behind a mountain range, etc. Don't know about the other providers.
Do all US networks phones take SIM cards?
I believe some don't... meaning you cannot reuse your existing GSM/3G/4G/5G mobile unless you stick to certain networks?
Mind you my information is dated, perhaps changed?

Verizon has a great network but it’s CDMA.
if you want to use GSM your best bet is AT&T. They have an unlimited pay as you go plan for $45 a month. You can pick up a SIM card at Walmart, Target, Best Buy or the AT&T store.
You’ll see some good T-mobile deals but the coverage is spotty outside cities.

To use your own unlocked GSM phone you’ll want to be on the AT&T network. Either directly through AT&T using their prepaid option or an MVNO like tracfone.
