    Where I live the service can't hardly be beat. Many great phones for free at www.verizonwireless.com. Unlimitied IN Calling is a great feature along with Unlimited IN Texting for only $10.00 more. They do not warn you if you are going to be charged for something. For example. I downloaded guitar hero, paid the fee and it seemed pretty straight forward. What they didn't tell me is that every time you play a song they charge you data usage at $2.00 a megabyte and it easily added up to $20 plus the fee to buy the game, by the time I figured it out. So, for a few plays I managed to spend $35 on a game. That's kinda ridiculus. Also, the data usage is way too high for a cell phone to access the internet at speeds comparable to Dial-up. All-in-All it's a great value for a phone company just make sure to double check before you use any of your phone's features or you may get burned. I'm very happy with my Verizon Blitz, as is my Grandma with her LG Dare.

    Its' humorous the way that things work. People are not happy with a service, yet they are complacent and do/say nothing about it. Before you know it, you've been with that same company for 7 years. With that being said, Verizon offers NOTHING that other wireless service providers cannot offer. Verizon claims to have the best network and least dropped calls, but my cell drops calls all of the time. If Verizon were serious about it, they would offer some sort of guarantee. I've noticed that the le ...

    If you like Sprint or Nextel, you will like Verizon. There is no signal, anywhere. It can get very annoying when you are trying to make a call, and poof! "Hello, hello, HELLO!" Dumb dropped calls. "Your call has been dropped, thank you for using Verizon wireless." They say thank you to calm you down from your dropped call. PAY ME BACK. AND STUFF YOUR SORRY IN A SACK. I will not ever get Verizon again.

    Reception of calls is good with Verizon Wireless. But it bills you for extra features like insurance and other services without informing and taking consent of customer.

    I feel reception of making and receiving call from Verizon phone is OK. But it has non-transparent policy with a tendency to add extra features in plan without informing the customers. It happened two times with my plan. First they added data service and 2nd time they added handset insurance without informing me and Verizon was billing me for all these. They didn't reimbursed me when I confronted. I am not happy with its policy and I am not going to renew my plan with Verizon.

    I've had VZ for years, its the best so far compared to my previous cell phone service. I will continue to use Verizon Wireless for years. Great service coverage, no drop calls. The only time a call gets dropped is when my partners network drops.

    It seems that the Verizon Wireless billing isn't always completely accurate. The 'in' network isn't as simple as it sounds. There is never a great selection of phones. If it is a phone with accessories and extras, everything is pricey, and there are definitely never any free features included in service packages. Every time I go into a Verizon store, it takes so long to solve any issues, and usually I get sent to other Verizon stores, and it seems to take longer than necessary. I am currently tr ...

    I had Verizon for about five years. I only have had to call them a few times about billing issues. Customer service fixed the issue promptly and to my satisfaction. I lived on Long Island for most my life, and Verizon always had great coverage, except in those areas where for some reason, no signal on any carrier comes through. I moved to Florida a couple of years ago, and I have had the same success with coverage excellent coverage. On all my trips up and down the east coast, I never had to w ...

    Most other providers have a terrific selection of cell phones. Verizon Wireless has a terrible set of choices.
