Phones get all the attention for their flashy hardware and features, but it's important to make sure you’re on the right carrier to ensure you get the best coverage and connectivity. If you’re looking to switch to a new carrier, the first thing to consider is coverage. This can vary depending on where you live. The Big Three carriers offer solid LTE coverage for the vast majority of Americans. Rural customers need to be a bit more careful and double-check the coverage map before signing up. If you want to take full advantage of a new phone, you’ll want a carrier with strong mid-band 5G coverage.
