Verizon vs. AT&T vs. Sprint vs. T-Mobile: Who's best in your city?

Indianapolis: Verizon, AT&T, then Sprint.

Las Vegas: One of T-Mobile's best cities, but Verizon is still the safe bet. Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, then AT&T.

Los Angeles: AT&T and T-Mobile earn terrible grades for dead zones. Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, then AT&T.

Miami: Another strong city for Verizon, with top grades for areas served and few dropped calls. Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, then AT&T.

Minneapolis-St. Paul: Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, then AT&T.

New York: Infamous for bad AT&T reception, especially for iPhones. Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, then AT&T.

Philadelphia: Verizon, T-Mobile, then AT&T.

Phoenix: The Consumer Reports survey gave Verizon its highest rating here. Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, then AT&T.

San Antonio: A great city for every network, with no negative marks. Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, then Sprint.

San Diego: Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, then AT&T.

San Francisco: Another city know for poor AT&T service, particularly since the iPhone debuted. Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, then AT&T.
