Same here. Was with V from day one and changed to T-mobile 2 years ago because of cost. Regretted it a few weeks later as we traveled across the states and found their coverage sucked. Worse yet is it barely works in Havasu and has no service on the lake south of copper canyon. My 2 years end in April so I'm hunting for the best we can find with good service on the lake as well as normal metro areas.
I keep looking at threads related to cell service on the boards, hope it helps me find the right one
From my POS T-mobile thingie

Ziggy.....I've had Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T over the years.....currently I have AT&T and find it to be the best coverage here in Havasu and on the lake. I use it at my place across the lake, down in the cove we like near Cat Tail cove and up near the Needles Bridge with no issues and good coverage.

I initially had an issue here at the house but after calling AT&T they sent me an Mcell which increases coverage around the house by hooking into the high speed internet so I always have a full 5 bars now for all my AT&T devices.

They are in the process of upgrading their towers here from 4G to LTE and while the 4G speed is very good when I'm in Vegas or CA and get an LTE signal the speed is faster than my wired internet at the house. If I was looking to make a move I'd stick with AT&T right now for your time in Havasu......as you know in the major metros like when your home everyone has good coverage.

I stay connected all the way between Havasu and CA with the exception of a 10 mile stretch or so on Rice RD when you forst make the turn toward Desert Center but 10 minutes and you have coverage again......pretty much 4-5 bars everywhere I go and think they have the absolute best coverage in town and on the lake in Havasu!!!

I agree with you Paul...but Verizon is getting better on the water especially in the Bullhead area. I don't remember ever having any problems with Verizon's coverage in Havasu.
