Cell Phone Carriers in Omaha
By: Ryan Renner, Realtor
I have helped many families move to Omaha. Contact me if you have any questions about the Omaha area or need help buying a home.
Omaha has all the major cell phone carriers – AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. But, some are better than others. Let’s take a look at which carrier you should use.
AT&T and Verizon are the two dominant cell phone carriers in Omaha.
T-Mobile didn’t have much of a footprint in Omaha until it acquired Sprint back in 2020.
I’ve never used T-Mobile, but I have been a customer of both AT&T and Verizon.
They are both fine.
I don’t think anyone is 100% happy with their carrier.
Verizon has 5G coverage throughout much of the city.
It has also started to roll out 5G Home Internet, which could save you money if you are already a Verizon customer.
Should You Switch Carriers Before Moving to Omaha?
If you are with AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon, you do not need to switch your carrier before moving to Omaha.
Move here first and then see if the coverage is adequate where you live, work, and play.
Most people shouldn’t need to switch.
Other Providers
Other providers are available, but they use the network of one of the big cell phone companies.
Mint Mobile uses T-Mobile.
Cricket Wireless is owned by AT&T.
Consumer Cellular uses AT&T and T-Mobile.
