Right now i'm with sprint and my contract with them ends next month. My cellphone just got busted so i'm thinking rather than buy a new phone with sprint, I should wait until I switch to another carrier. I have a friend who works for Verizon and it seems like a better deal. I did a search on this subject in this forum and found a thread from 2003. Does anyone have good coverage with Verizon, particularly in the downtown area?

 

I use Cingular/Att and get great service.

 

I got cingular and it sucks around richmond/midlo/powhatan. I suggest verizon, its the best hands down, never drop calls, never not be able to make a call, get service EVERYWHERE.

 

I guess it has do with the phone as well.

 

That has a lot to do with it, but it seems like I can get better coverage with a cheaper phone with Verizon. The biggest thing for me is that most of my calls are to other Verizon phones so I can get away with a plan with fewer minutes.

 

i have verizon and had fine service everywhere but my parents house

 

verizon best handsdown. never lost a signal yet. went all the way to texas didnt lose a signal. and they have the best plans with a bunch of bonuses. everyone i know is verizon so everyone is in. including text messagin wit i do alot of.

 

Verizon FTW! They you pay little more but its so worth it. They have hooked me up so many times with repairs and replacements its not even funny. Ive always gone to the store on Midlo Turnpike next to the Lonestar always nice people willing to help out. I have since got a new phone that doesnt break as much but when ive had problems they always get it fixed fast.

 

Verizon is good unless you live around pocahantas state park, then you won't get reception at all. Alltel has the best deal going with the unlimited calls to any 10 numbers you choose and anytime plan changes, plus they seem to get excellent reception everywhere around the area. Everyone has verizon though, so it does make it cheaper to talk that way.

 

VA by far is Verizon's main teritory for coverage.

Everything else blows in comparison (I've been on most of them offered here)
