Verizon is gonna be the most expensive but they seem to think they have the best coverage, which in general they do. That said, at the club lodge in Sugarbush this season whenever I had a signal it was very weak. It was also carried by US Cellular (I think). Service only got better once I crossed into Massachusetts. I never used my phone north of Sugarbush so don't know what coverage is like in Stowe, etc... I don't remember if I was charged for going off Verizon's network but I don't think I was. My friend, Dave used his Verizon phone at Swampfest and was not charged north of the border.

I'm in the process of ditching my rarely used and expensive land line for a cell phone, and I really have no clue what is the best route to go. Right now I think I have it narrowed down to Verizon or Sprint. Key benefit of Verizon seems to be pretty good coverage on their network but the plans that include roaming off that dont seem to be very economical. Erin has a Verizon too so the mobile-mobile minutes might actually get used. Also, Sprint seems to be able to offer more or less complete coverage now since roaming off their network is now included... So.. what are your experiences in the backwoods of VT? What works, what doesn't? Who's cheap, who's a ripoff? Jerm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
