When I was on the road in the boonies, I had to have verizon, who
delighted in ripping me for $200 to $300+ a month (30¢ to 60¢ a min,
unless someone from Canada called me when it was dollars per min)
CC has highly rated customer service (WAY better than Vz was) with
people in the USA for whom Merkun English is the FIRST language (imagine
that!) and has coverage anywhere ATT has service. For the places I go
now (Often still in the boonies) and nearly border to border, and
Appalachia to west coast, the coverage is even better than vz. within a
few weeks it will be cost to coast to coast and border to border. I
expect no problems between the Appalachians to the east coast.
I continually had dropped calls and no service with Vz, and it is very
rate with CC. Even their spokesman dumped verizon.
I started with GTE, who had good service and competitive rates, and
ended up with vz when they gobbled up GTE, and outrageously high
rates. I was never happier than when I kissed Vz goodbye forever.

IMHO, if you travel significantly you should stick with AT&T or Verizon.
We tried
T-Mobile, and almost from the first day it was unusable. Dropped calls
when
crossing towers, random slowness due to 'foreign' towers, and the vaunted
fallback
to AT&T only happens when/where AT&T allows this, which is not everywhere.
(It's on a tower-by-tower basis, not a global policy.)
Basically my phone was only AT&T at home, which does NOT have the same
speeds and quantities that T-Mobile was advertising. And there was no
service
at my brother's, or the beach cabin, in spite of the coverage maps.
Bah.
The AT&T rep said that the alternate carriers are good, when you are
in the
towns
they support, but as soon as you go any distance from there things fall
apart. For
actual coverage, only the big two have that.
