- See below. How is the coverage (especially in rural areas)? - spamlet Nov 29, 13:23 2
  - Never had any issues. They are on the AT&T version and as far as I can tell it is exactly like AT&T proper -- nm - oblique Nov 29, 13:24 1
    - danke -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 13:25
patryk uses cricket. head uses sraight talk. how can I help you? -- nm - university of amanda jones Nov 29, 13:17 17
- I'm looking at coverage. I know that ST uses AT&T and Cricket is owned by it. Do they have the same coverages as AT&T? - spamlet Nov 29, 13:21 16
  - patryk does indeed use cricket. coverage is the same, but it is slightly throttled. it's not bad, but you can tell -- nm - patryk Nov 29, 13:23 3
    - Lurker! Thanks. It looks like it's throttled to 8mbps? I think we could live with that. - spamlet Nov 29, 13:24 2
      - 8Mbps is definitely acceptable, especially at their pricing I do not regret walking away from ATT. -- nm - patryk Nov 29, 13:38
      - I think the 8Mbps "throttle" is across the board with all AT&T MNVOs -- nm - oblique Nov 29, 13:28
  - head has flawless coverage (I miss at&t). I think patryk had throttling issues with speed, but they may have abated. it's the same network. -- nm - university of amanda jones Nov 29, 13:22 11
    - it's not throttled like 3G or slower, the LTE just caps at I think 8mbps -- nm - patryk Nov 29, 13:24
    - AT&T at used to be the suck, here. Switched to Verizon and am afraid to switch away from the flawless. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 29, 13:24 9
      - I have verizon now. it's kind of crap. related: does verizon not have "talk over wifi?" because that makes the mart iffy. -- nm - university of amanda jones Nov 29, 13:28 8
        
        Didn't think of that. I use it at home because AT&T is kind of spotty. Hmm. -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 13:31
        
        We have it on our work lines. FAQ linked -- (link) - oblique Nov 29, 13:31 3
        
        I am so not in a verizon 4G LTE area. ha ha. but thanks. -- nm - university of amanda jones Nov 29, 13:38 2
        
        I'm probably very spoiled but it's hard to imagine not being in an LTE area these days other than my grandparents farm -- nm - oblique Nov 29, 13:39 1
        
        remember, I'm the red dot in a sea of green in the middle here. -- (link) - university of amanda jones Nov 29, 13:41
        
        I am not sure as we never use enough voice minutes to worry about it. - Doctor Spawn Nov 29, 13:30 2
        
        I have no limits. I just have crappy coverage. and at sashamart there is no coverage at all. I had to use what's app to make a call. I still feel dirty. -- nm* - university of amanda jones Nov 29, 13:33 1
        
        Oh. I have only been in one location that has no coverage. It is at the bottom of a valley on my way home. -- (edited) - Doctor Spawn Nov 29, 13:37
