Considering joining IN
With regard to IN calling, does this apply in the Extended Network calling area. To my understanding, if your phone says "Roaming," that is the only time it does not apply. I assume that this is the same for Unlimited Nights and Weekends.
Another question, is the network really that good or is it just a great advertising scheme?
As for your other question, its both. Verizon has an excellent network but they're advertising techniques are unbelievably affective also.
if you look at verizon's coverage map, and compare it to any other wireless coverage map (gsm for instance) you will see that verizon has a major coverage advantage. only on some older plans, like attws's tdma national rate is there more coverage... and you cant do shared minutes on attws tdma. but do beware of what i am dealing with.... if you want to use your phone in an area that the verizon map says is NOT all-digital, you must have a trimode phone (supports AMPS 800) (the map area is light pink) if you dont frequent these areas, then its not an issue.
