Morgantown West Virginia Cell Service- (Charleston, Fairmont: live, deal, areas)

Hey All!
Looking to get a new phone and wondering what the best cell provider is here?
Thanks

Probably ATT/Cricket. While Verizon is great nationally it's not that great here. Sprint used to have reasonable coverage but since the T-Mobile deal there have been nothing but complaints. US Cellular is okay if you live out in the sticks but they are not great as a national carrier if you travel.

Verizon works just fine in Morgantown

I've had ATT in Morgantown for 10 years. No issues. It's good where we we live now too, outside of town.

Fine is not great.

I had Verizon on two different occasions. Most recently 18 months ago. Used them for 6 months before switching back to ATT. Many areas that are rock solid on Att did not have service on Verizon. One area in particular, on route 19 between Morgantown and Fairmont was a compete dead zone.

Google Morgantown Cell coverage and read up. There are many sites and APPs that aggregate cell phone signal and call. Quality.

A word of caution. If you travel to Charleston with any regularity, you don't want a US Cellular phone. They do not provide coverage in Charleston. I've had no trouble with Verizon anywhere I've traveled.
