AT&T/T-Mobile only is tough, but they have to start somewhere I'm sure. I've wanted a FairPhone for a number of years; maybe I'll accept shittier service (for my area) when my contract ends.

I'm using a T-mobile MVNO and the coverage has been great ever since they bought Sprint.

The first phone/carrier I got as an adult was an iPhone 4s from Sprint, and I basically didn't have service for 98% of the phone's life. Then again, the merger probably means a larger network overall.

They should also have a service agreement with Verizon, giving them at least some additional coverage; though I'm unsure how much 3P are discriminated at the tower.
