Now, here is the definitive look at Georgia‘s top six mobile carriers battling for your business!
AT&T Wireless
As one of the "big three" carriers, AT&T offers rock-solid coverage with cutting-edge 5G rolling out to more areas. But should it be your next wireless provider?
Coverage & Reliability
AT&T talks a big game about their "5G Evolution" network blanketed across Georgia. But look closer at OpenSignal‘s independent testing, and they slightly trail Verizon and T-Mobile for 4G speeds and availability.
However, their core LTE network avoids major gaps outside cities experienced by other carriers. Only 0.01% of Georgians lack coverage completely. Solid B grade overall!
Supported Devices
Expect top-tier selection like the latest iPhones and Samsung Galaxy lineup. AT&T also offers the most certified prepaid phones of any discount carrier as an option.

Mint Mobile
With prices starting at just $15 monthly, this prepaid carrier brings red-hot deals if willing to buy in bulk. But what‘s the catch?
Coverage & Reliability
As a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), Mint purchases access from T-Mobile rather than maintaining their own towers. That means your experience depends heavily on T-Mobile‘s Georgia footprint.
Mint requests users check coverage in detail first at their address before signing up. Their map shows pockets lacking even basic 4G LTE in rural zones. But in cities and metro areas, performance can deliver due to strong underlying T-Mobile service. Just beware dead zones when traveling!
Supported Devices
One advantage of Mint SIM is compatibility with most modern unlocked phones, including many iPhone and Android models. Downsides: 5G won‘t be supported (for now) and visual voicemail may not sync depending on manufacturer.

T-Mobile
With an emphasis on streaming perks, T-Mobile woos customers with "free Netflix." Does their coverage and 5G rollout match the marketing hype?
