Pros: Very little to no dropped calls, great people to work with in custmer service, always have a wonderful deal going, and great competitive prices!

Cons: I can not tell you of any!

Summary: My husband and I have been with Verizon Wireless for years and we could not be more happy! We recommend their service to all of our friends and family. If we ever need to call the customer service department for anything, they are always helpful and friendly unlike our last service provider. We are 100% pleased and will never switch providers!

Verizon

Overall Rating:
4.7 out of 5
By: caryl stewart on Tuesday, October 24, 2006
From: malta, MT (United States)
Experience: 4 Years
Pros: Great service. Very good customer service in the experience that we have had.

Cons: Every time we go to "a city", (we're quite rural), we have to remember to update our cells manually by dialing into their system and updating so we continue to get good reception. (This updates the info in the phones).

Summary: We have found Verizon to be the best carrier for our area. We have some spots where it won't pick up any service, but it is overall better than the other carriers we've tried in the past. I like our service, overall.

5 out of 5
By: Rudy Blazo on Tuesday, October 24, 2006
From: Fairfax, VA (United States)
Experience: 5 Years
Pros: Coverage Area
Customer Service

Cons: They don't seem to get the new phones to market as quickly as other providers

Summary: Verizon Wireless seems to have the others beat in coverage area. I can get a signal where my friends that have Sprint or AT&T can't.

verizon on the move

Overall Rating:
2.3 out of 5
By: ben herkovic on Sunday, October 22, 2006
From: brooklyn, NY (United States)
Experience: 8 Months
Pros: no bill problems, service on the subway platforms.

Cons: dropped calls when not in motion.

Summary: all around it is not bad yet not something that i would recommend wholeheartedly. it is interesting how you would have service underground on the subway platform 2 stories down, yet in a basement of a two family house you would get dropped calls constantly.

    Mini-Review: BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 - T-Mobile

    Mini-Review: BlackBerry 8220

    The first ever flip BlackBerry is a winner, so long as you play to its strengths.  While the 8220 is very large for a modern day flip phone, it's lightweight and slick looking enough to trick you into thinking it's a little smaller than it really is.  I've had the 8220 for just under a week now, and I very quickly grew used to carrying it around in my pocket.  No, it's not as thin as a RAZR or as small as a low-end sliderphone,...

    Better Signal: Great tips and tricks for Verizon devices

    Better Signal: Verizon

    Lane Jensen in Oregon here and I have a great trick that works for all Verizon phones to get better signal. First, you need to be within about a 5-10 mile radius of where you are going to use your phone the most. Secondly, instead of dialing the normal *228 for activation, dial *22899 and it will take you instantly to the programming music and update your phone. No more having to go through the prompt and listening to the same old voice saying,...

    LG Lotus (Sprint) - Photos

    Hey, look what just came!  Thanks, Vanessa ;-)  Here are some photos of the black LG Lotus for Sprint.  The QWERTY board feels GREAT so far, as those bubbled chiclet-style keys make up for the relatively small size of the layout.  Sprint's new One Click UI is sort of cool and helpful and sort of overdone; I'll have to play with it more, but I hope it winds up being handier more often than it gets in the way.  And I'm...

    Heads-up, phone phans!  Nokia's planned an announcemnet for next Monday, October 13th - and has a viral campaign to hype things up in the meantime - and Motorola's announcing something new and "Clear" (as per their PR campaign) on Tuesday, October 14th.  My bets?  I have no idea what Nokia's gonna drop, but I bet MOTO unveils the Kraze smartphone for Verizon Wireless.

    Might this be a peek into our near-term future?  I hope so.  You're looking at the HTC T8290, a shiny, sleek, badass looking piece of kit from HTC destined for Russia's Yota network. What's neat about this device, besides its obvious good looks, is that it packs both GSM and WiMax connectivity so you can get your voice and high-speed data on in style.  There's a 3.8", 800 x 480 hi-res display for all of that content you'll be...

Second, my post about the possibility of the HTC Touch HD coming to...
