Verizon - It's the network, the service, the phones- Thumbs down

Pros: None

Cons: Worst phones (esp. Motorola); calls dropped constantly, longest wait time for 611, and they will extend your contract EVERY TIME you make the slightest change to your plan (which they don't tell you!)

Summary: BEWARE - the worst cellular experience I ever had was with Verizon. Unlike my current carrier, they won't let you change your plan without re-starting the 2 year contract every time!!! Their rates are highest; the phones poorest, and again, the constantly dropped calls make it impossible to count on a real conversation!
