T-Mobile's coverage seems more spotty than Verizon, most of the spots in the northwest as well as midwest. The coverage of this network does cover a wide area of the country. This is also the most recent coverage map, as in the previous years T-Mobile's coverage did not cover as much of the country as it does today.

From their website, T-Mobile explains their mission by saying, "We have both the opportunity and the responsibility to be a force for good—for our customers, our employees, and our planet. That's why T-Mobile is standing up and taking steps forward to help make our shared world a better place."

Verizon outlines their mission in five separate categories:

1. Integrity:"We are committed to do the right thing
and follow sound business practices in dealing with
our customers, suppliers, owners and competitors.
Our competitors are not enemies; they are challengers
who drive us to improve."

2. Respect: "The quality and reliability of the products we deliver
are paramount. Customers pay us to provide them with
services that they can rely on."

3. Performance Excellence: "We are more agile
than companies a fraction of our size, because we act
fast and take risks every day. We see crisis and change
as opportunities, not threats"

4. Accountability: "We focus on fundamental execution.
We are accountable and we follow through with a
sense of urgency. We know that having the highest
ethical standards is a competitive advantage."

5. Social Responsibility: "We embrace diversity and personal development not
only because it's the right thing to do, but also because
it's smart business. We are driven not by ego but by
accomplishments. We keep our commitments to each
other and our customers. Our word is our contract."

Verizon beats T-Mobile in the most widespread coverage map. Although there are larger areas within the northwest that are not covered in Verizon's network, for the most part their coverage areas cover much of the country.

# data[].attributes.body

T-Mobile outlines their efforts in the community in these areas:

1. Climate Consciousness: "Because the amount we use can adversely impact our environment, we strive to minimize our use in two big ways— by using energy efficient technologies across our network and all of our facilities and by investing in renewable sources to offset the energy we do use."

2. Youth Involvement: "
We help remove barriers to connect today’s youth to tomorrow’s opportunities."

3. Employee Volunteering: "
Our employees serve as champions for their local communities. That’s why they’re at the heart of all the good we do. By supporting the causes they care most about, we’re able to help create vibrant, healthy communities."

# data[].attributes.body
According to their website, Verizon explains their company responsibility in these areas:

1. Digital Inclusion: "We want to promote technology as a tool to improve communities, education and the workforce."

2. Climate Protection: "We’re committed to becoming fully carbon neutral in our operations by 2035."

3. Human Prosperity: "We’re committed to reskilling and upskilling those most vulnerable in the future economy, ensuring prosperity through volunteerism, and inclusivity for both our employees and suppliers."

While Verizon continues to stay on top in coverage and investments, T-Mobile wins more awards for customer service and work environment.

Verizon has won RootMetrics award for best network 14 years in a row.

In the J.D Power Wireless Network Quality Study, Verizon has won this more than any other network in history, 25 times.

T-Mobile won Newsweeks' award for the best customer service company in 2020.

T-Mobile also won J.D Power's award for best wireless purchase experience multiple years in a row.

Of course competitors are going to go head-to-head in trying to achieve the title of number one. Most competing companies use passive ways of showing they are better than the other companies, but for T-Mobile and Verizon, it is personal. Below is an excerpt from T-Mobile's company blog posted on February 2, 2020:

"Now, Verizon’s spending big Super Bowl bucks to advertise JUST AGAINST T-MOBILE’S 5G NETWORK. Not just against T-Mobile as a brand… but actually trying to take on our network!  Something they never even cared about before! Why? Because they finally had to admit that we’re the real network competition, especially with the New T-Mobile. And they’re absolutely right... Face it. Verizon peaked in 2007. And they’re terrified that people are catching on."
