I have literally never dropped a single call ever. I didn't actually believe it was a real thing for the longest time; like, I assumed it was a 1 in a 10,000 glitch.

I have never picked up my phone and not been able to make a call either.

Unless Verizon does something really ridiculous I will never leave them. I have the cheapest plan possible because it doesn't cost me minutes to call people due to everyone else having Verizon too.



Here AT&T is the only service that works right (or T-Mobile roaming, but they cancel you after a few months). But the network has serious issues. About 5% of calls connect to the wrong person. Network is down at least an hour a week. Text messages get eaten, then hours later get sent to your phone 3 dozen times each.

Sprint and Verizon barely work in town, and don't work at all anywhere else in the county. Coverage hasn't improved for them in years. But AT&T keeps adding towers and trying to work out the problems. We just got 3g in town (from a single tower I think, everything else is still Edge).

Seriously.... people use verizon? Why?



and they will continue to pay outrageous prices for shit service and they will be happy about it.


edit:
i live in an area, as im sure most of you do too, where ALL the cell companies give coverage.
my $25/mo TRULY unlimited text/data plan is just as good, if not better because of the truely unlimited data, as everyone elses $100/mo unlimited plan + extra for going over 2meg(?)


if you live in the sticks, verizon probably doesnt work at all. thats the reason my ex uses us sucular, because verizon doesnt have coverage in her area. verizon didnt have coverage in bfe missouri when i was there, it was us mobile or some shit.

The credit card companies are charging 3%. The agreement says the retailer can't add that 3% onto the bill. Thus we get the service fees instead.

Would it be better if the company offered a 3% discount for paying in cash?
