In NYC all four major national carriers have strong coverage.

Sprint is terrible in basements.
So no reason to go Verizon over PP or ultra mobile ?

How is freedom pop. I heard network issues around Atlanta area.

The plans directly from any of the 4 carriers I believe have data priority and slightly higher speeds than a mvno.

Not necessarily. Depends on the carrier, the MNVO and sometimes even the plan.

Is there any upside to Verizon over these others ? How are they in basements ?

Ultra is tmobile. Pp is Verizon.
Every basement is different

+1 I have T Mobile, works perfect in my basement, a friend's VZ does not. Then in his basement, lives less than a mile away, his VZ works better .

I have Sprint in NYC works fine all over even in basements. A friend that I’m with a lot has Verizon and in some places I have better coverage and some places he has, I would say they are even in NYC.

I figured I'll ask here even though it's slightly off topic...I have service with ATT and would like to switch phones. I am currently in Canada where I don't have service. Is there anything I need to do on the old phone aside from popping in the SIM card?

I'm not sure what you're asking. How are you changing phones but putting the new sim card in your old phone?

Just a side note. When inserting a new sim card into a phone in order for data to work you have to set up the APN in the phone settings.

I am switching from one iPhone to another. I will backup the "old" one on iTunes and install it on the new iPhone. I will also pop out the SIM from the old phone and into the new one.

I don't have experience doing this. But I'm pretty sure you can do that with no problem. (Just might have to change APN settings.)

AT&T Prepaid is offering double data (8GB bonus data on 8GB / $50 plan ($40 w/autopay). Seems like a very good price. I'm currently on ATT regular. Anyone know how prepaid service compares to regular in 08701?
