So which is better in the delta Verizon or AT&T? What is the consensus? I'm ready to drop CSpire.

ATT was a nightmare for me and i have never heard anything good about verizon here in mississippi or the south for that matter. I think Verizon is better in other states. I do agree however, something has been up with cspires service from time to time here lately.

CSpire and Verizon USED to share towers. That was when CS became CSpire and decided double their rates for Verizon to use their towers.

I have a Verzon personal phone and a AT&T work phone. Verizon has better Delta service.

Verizon has great customer service but their LTE signal sucks, ATT seems to be better side by side for 4g in most locations.

Those boosters from Wilson, do they make ones that are portable?

Got to give big shout out and thanks to ShotgunSP. He works for cspire and sent me a pm. Within 2 days I had the femtocell booster that I had been promised back in May and a couple of times since. Can now sit in my lazy boy and talk without the call being dropped. Full set of bars. Amazing. Thanks again.

CSpire doesn't own towers all over. Their only way for you to use their towers if you head out to somewhere like Florida or Texas....is to have a sharing contract with another company. That company used to be Verizon, but looks to be Sprint now.

Ronnie, I have a CSpire Iphone and an AT&T Iphone and have for several years. I have to have service when i'm hunting in case i'm on call. I have a family sharing plan with AT&T that is unlimited, which you can't get anymore......so i didn't want to get rid of it. So, i've kept both and use my cspire phone as a hotspot for my two boys and their iPads. I absolutely love my AT&T phone much more than CSpire. I use them both all the time. The only thing that my CSpire phone is favored over my AT&T phone is when i'm over the levee and only have service on CSpire.....but, that changes depending on which club i'm on. A different club that i was in was closer to an AT&T tower and it worked better there. EVERYWHERE else my AT&T phone is better. There's no question whatsoever if i'm traveling out of state. CSpire won't even work half the time unless i'm in MS.

Not sure why people aren't saying much about At&t. I really cant think of many places in the delta i don't have service. And i travel all over. Also used them when i use to travel the country for business i was always very pleased. If you don't have service say at home or a camp the sale a thing called a Microcell that boost signal. Went from 1 or 2 bars in my metal shop to full service with it.

You have to have internet to use the Microcell... I can't even get DSL at my house so the microcell thing is a no-go.
But to be fair, there isn't a single cell phone company that works at my house, it isn't just ATT

Yeah Hughes net would work, but it's $60 a month. I don't even have a computer at home, so I can't justify paying an extra $60 to get internet so I can use my phone. I just won't have very good service until they put a tower out that way. I kinda don't mind not having service. When I'm in the shop I can't be bothered by a damn ringing phone

Anytime, happy to help.


If any of you guys ever need anything or have a question regarding C Spire, I'm happy to help. I am not in sales, but I am passionate about the family I work for and will certainly do what I can to help you out. I know sometimes it's helpful to feel like you have a friend in the business, and I'm glad to be that guy.

Thanks.
