Before you pick a new plan, however, you have to determine which network is the most reliable in your neck of the woods. Coverage varies across Pennsylvania:
T-Mobile performs best for city residents, offering strong 5G in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Harrisburg.
AT&T and Verizon outperform in rural counties, including the Poconos and central valleys.
Suburban regions—Lancaster, Allentown, and Reading—see solid coverage from all three carriers.
Once you've determined which network performs the strongest in your Pennsylvania town, you can choose a carrier on that network.
If T-Mobile's 5G network is widely available, a Mint Mobile or Metro by T-Mobile plan is the right choice. Mint Mobile plans start at just $15/month, and they often run deals, making their plans 50% off.
US Mobileis an excellent option if you live near AT&T towers and need large data allotments. Their $25 unlimited plan is often our top overall phone plan pick.
For great Verizon coverage at a fraction of the cost, Visibleis our top pick, with unlimited data plans starting at just $25/month.
Sharing data with carriers when searching for plans
WhistleOut’s internet coverage check requires that we verify serviceability at your address with carriers. When you click to purchase, we only pass verified addresses to a carrier and your address is loaded into the carrier’s shopping cart so that you can easily complete the purchase.
As part of California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) you are able to select that we do not sell this data to the carrier - this will also prevent us from validating your coverage with a carrier and setting up the address with the carrier if you choose to purchase.
