CR England truck drivers like anyone else these days carry cell phones. Many trucking companies provide truck drivers with Qualcomm equipment in their trucks to take care of business related activities and communicate with driver managers, but when it comes to making personal calls when a driver is out on the road, the cell phone has replaced the pay phone.
Since most truck drivers carry a cellular phone or wireless phone these days we wanted to do a little research on available cell phone plans. For our research and after talking to a number of drivers, we are interested in unlimited minute plans with unlimited email and text messaging.
All carriers have different coverage areas even though they are called Nation Wide plans so check each carrier’s coverage map to see if you are going to be covered where you drive most.
The nation wide service carriers to compare:
- AT&T Wireless
- Sprint Wireless
- Verizon Wireless
- T-Mobile Wireless
Cost of Unlimited Minute Plans:
- AT&T Wireless- $99.99 per month
- Sprint Wireless- $99.99 per month
- Verizon Wireless- $139.99 per month
- T-Mobile Wireless- $99.99 per month
Cost of Messaging & Data (email and picture mail) Add on Fees:
- AT&T Wireless- $30.00 per month
- Sprint Wireless- included per month
- Verizon Wireless- included per month
- T-Mobile Wireless- $24.99 per month
The clear winner as far as cost is concerned:
Sprint Wireless- Unlimited Everything for $99.99 a month.
For a truck driver that may run all 48 states nation wide service is a necessity. Getting nationwide service with out having to worry about any additional fees is certainly important to a truck driver who wants to budget his or her expenses. The unlimited email and messaging will help a driver keep in touch with friends and family.
