I thought the devise uses At&t towers? Their coverage map 2012 shows coverage is limited to cities. Since At&t has acquired them has this changed?

If you go to the h20 bolt web site and type in your zip code it will tell you if you have coverage. As for me I travel all over the country and have coverage where ever I have gone.

Net 10 only picks up off at&t; towers, i was told i could use it where i live but after ordering it, i couldnt use in my area cause they dont have sim cards with them. I wouldnt recommend it, and u can only use a 50 dollar unlimited prepaid card with it. So now im stuck with a phone i pd 79.00 for because they wont let me return it because it was over 15 days. I would not recommend.

Works great in the US. Easy to use. only bad thing is no screen on front to show who is calling but it does work with all companys . We have att and works great. I responded on my tablet but I don't see the reply so I am resending. Good luck, Molly

i would take it in, cause that is what network tower I am using. ATT. Make sure it is in the right place, I seem to have three spots for sims.

I have AT&T.; I would expect the S3 to be the same regardless of providers but I cannot confirm that.

This map (link) shows the entire Reno area is covered https://www.tracfone.com/direct/controller.block You can also go to the link below and input your ZIP, select your phone, and it will lead to a page that shows coverage for that phone/zip (Use the New Customers option when to input your ZIP code). https://www.tracfone.com/direct/CoverageMaps?app=TRACFONE&lang=en BTW- I have since upgraded to the LG 800g, which has a touch screen and triples the minutes you purchase! :-) The LG 440g was a great little flip-phone, but I couldn't resist a touch screen and the TRIPLE MINUTES VALUE. I love my new LG 800g. Also, keep in mind that Tracfones use the AT&T Network (primarily), so it is a large network which helps ensure very good coverage (I've never had any problems, but I haven't used it outside the USA).

My area is just at the edge of good coverage for AT&T. It's able to lock on to my dog even when she is under the bed, which really surprised me. If she goes into one of the low areas of our woods, it will lose her. It uses both satellites and cell towers to get a good lock. Problems arise when it can't get both. Then it will show her to be about 20 miles away at a local lake. If it does that, I just wait a few minutes and ping her again. The problem with a poor signal while outside the set geofence is that it will drain the battery quicker than usual. AT&T has been expanding its coverage area in recent years, so you may actually get a better signal than you expect.

You would actually need to become a "Jitterbug/GreatCall Customer". We use Verizon's towers so you'd still have the same great coverage....you would just pay your monthly fee to us. Plus, we have no contracts!-Sean from Jitterbug

At&T; has real nationwide coverage. T-Mobile is a metro-area carrier, even though they are nationwide. They have no coverage in outlying or rural areas. The box my phone came in indicates it uses AT&T; as a wireless carrier. It also shows it may use T-Mobile. I got my phone at Walmart, so this might not apply to the phones being sold here. One way of telling is to examine the SIM number. The second set of digits indicates the wireless carrier...XXX 141.....141 is AT&T...126; is T-Mobile...When a gsm phone uses both AT&T; & T-Mobile...I'm not sure how the SIM is coded.

It does not run on any "specific tower." It runs on the Verizon network. Look and the Verizon national network coverage map. That is where it runs and has coverage.

In the Raleigh, NC area i get LTE because the city uses band 4. However, 90% of other cities uses band 17, which the phone does not support. So the best you'll get is HSPA+ (which is 4G non LTE in AT&T terms): The following cities uses Band 4: Phoenix, Raleigh, San Juan, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Chicago, Charlotte, Athens, GA and College Station, TX. The following cities uses Band 2: Baltimore, Dallas, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. If the city is not listed there then you are under Band 17 (again this phone does not support Band 17) **Note: Although these cities are listed to use the band, the range coverage of these specific band is limited, and may not cover the entire city.

I purchased an unlocked att phone and at the time T-Mobile was upgrading their lte service in my area (sw ct). I was only getting 4G, no lte, so I switched to a different phone. I don't know enough about the cellular bands to guarantee compatibility.

It appears to be RM-821, as Vodafone only uses 800/2600 bands for LTE, and not the 1700 used by AT&T;'s RM-820 in the US. It's a world phone.

My Ipad came with a AT&T chip, and I dont see it would not work with other service providers' data plans. Besides, my purchase was for overseas use, and it works just fine here.
