Which U.S. cell provider is best in China?

3 of us had different cell phone providers in China.

I had Verizon, while another had T-Mobile, and another had Sprint.

Can you guess who had the best coverage?

Sprint came in last with no connectivity at all.

Verizon worked well, until we were above the snake line (i.e., around 3,000 ft in the mountains).  We actually stayed at around 15,000 ft at the foot of the Himalayan mountains for 4 days.

T-Mobile actually won out with coverage anywhere and everywhere we went.  T-Mobile has negotiated a seriously good contract with China Mobile (the largest mobile company in the world), and that’s why T-Mobile works so well there.

The funny thing is that T-Mobile works better in China than it does in the U.S.
