Is at&t coverage as good as verizons in northeastern pennsylvania?

Generally, on the east coast, coverage is pretty good for all carriers for 2g and 3g so I wouldn't worry about that. Verizon does have a faster 4g network if available, but at&t has a faster 3g network. Personally I prefer Verizon, but that is just me out of millions of people. Also, I really like the pantech ease. The keyboard is perfection because the space bar is not in between the "v" and "b" keys. I find the Pantech Jest strange because you swipe your thumb on the directional pad instead of pushing a button. Also, the keyboard on the Jest is cramped. For Verizon i recommend the Kin Twom. The OS on the kin twom is almost like windows phone 7. I do not recommend refurbished phones though. On most not all problems are adresssed during the fixing stage for Verizon at least. I hope I helped!
