VERIZON WIRELESS
Verizon's claim to fame is superior coverage,
especially in the west. They use PCS frequencies
only in a few areas, but they have constructed
those networks well. In the few places where they don't have their
own coverage, they have roaming agreements
with other carriers, normally the carriers
with superior coverage. Therefore, their
"National" plans, which include
almost all of the country are about as close
to 'wall-to-wall" as you can get. Their
reasonably-priced plans have no roaming or
long distance charges, and they also throw
in Unlimited Night and Weekend minutes as
well as Unlimited calls among users both
on and off their own network (there are a
few exceptions). They offer fairly competitive
prices, and often have promotions. They also
offer plans that include Unlimited Voice
and other features at various fixed price
levels. Data service is excellent with various
price plans. Verizon forces their phone manufacturers
to offer a "standardized" user
interface, limiting menu and font variations.
This could mean the screen appearance may
not be to your liking or the fonts may be
too small. Pros: Verizon has reasonably-priced plans,
"Unlimited" calling plans available,
extensive coverage, wide-ranging National
plans, excellent customer service, all-digital
service, and 'customer-friendly' policies.
Cons: Some Verizon plans are a little more
expensive, Customer Service closes at 11pm,
but technical assistance is available 24/7,
there are some billing oddities, they don't
offer as many "cute" phones, they
'cripple' some User Interface functions like
larger fonts. Make sure you can read their
submenus before buying. Some of their data
services are not available while roaming.
