Who has better coverage Sprint or AT&T? Is one significantly better in this area?

Thank you,

Most of Boone, you will get good service with Verizon. I can't speak for the other phones.

Thanks, we have AT&T now and my husband wants to change to Sprint since they have less expensive plans, but he is worried about the coverage in Western NC. We would have to pay a cancellation fee if we change early and he only wants to do so to change to Sprint, which is why I was asking about them, but I'll keep Verizon in mind if AT&T has poor reception up there.

I use Carolina West and have no complaints. As with all phones, there are spotty coverage areas in the High Country. I pay $50/mo for unlimited nationwide w/unlimited text and Internet.
