To decide which cell phone carrier is the best, you will need to compare the bill, coverage area, customer service, performance and the extras they offer.

Verizon makes it to the top of the list of the best carrier as it has the widest reach, best customer support and service, and appealing plans, especially the unlimited data that is being offered. All these factors put Verizon ahead. T-Mobile has done well in network speed, customer service, and plans.
