What to prioritize when choosing a provider?

Those cool gadgets and new equipments are coming out each week. However, priority on gadgetry should not be your main determining factor when choosing an operator of wireless network (carrier). Unless you live in a major city with at least two million people and choices and coverage in abundance, there are considerations more important than the voice quality or the choice of downloading games. A mobile phone is simply not good without a quality service. You must first focus on the coverage and the spectrum available in your most frequent use markets. Use the Web site to search your home and office, and if you travel regularly to another city or town, check that too. Make sure that the coverage maps of the network operator covers your areas. Nothing is worse than discovering that you can not get a signal in the areas you visit regularly, or if you are subject to high roaming charges!

There is no such thing as a the best wireless operator. It is really not possible to be the best on all around factors, for many reasons, but I hope to give you the means to make informed decisions regarding the operator that you should use in your primary market.
