What makes Verizon better than the others
It's the WHOLE package. Good network, good coverage, good phones, good CS, good billing, decent pricing (though I personally would like to see better).
AT&T= good network, good phones, BAD billing and SLOW, though good CS, good pricing, decent coverage
T-Mobile= good network, good phones, good customer service and billing, good pricing, decent coverage
Sprint= Good phones, good network and coverage, BAD billing and CS, good pricing.
This friends, is it in a nutshell. The reason VZW STILL edges out T-Mobile is COVERAGE. The same reason they always beat the OLD Nextel in terms of a quality experience.
This is a non-biased opinion. I have Sprint (Nextel), so I feel I'm speaking honestly.

I may be a little more superficial than that, I have VZW and have used ATT, Sprint, and T-mobile. I have seen the recent issues with Srint and their customer service, so that is not even an options. ATT was ok but when i got VZW it was like i was able to see the light. T-mobile doesn't work where i travel so that won't work for me. Finaly i wanted to ask a question, Why would you wan ATT when their company logo is a death star? (btw former employee of att and found out that American Telephone and Telegraph now stands for At This Time)
...
Verizon is the overall king, i disagree that spirnt and ATT have good networks. ATT has a long way to go, they still allot of garble sounding conversations even the biggest ATT fanboy won't argue that..and Spint just roams to much and with all their current problems it's just a huge flag to stay away from them.
...
You have the right to disagree. My experience has been that GSM networks have higher voice quality than CDMA. I can always tell when someone calls me from a Verizon cellphone because it sounds a little bit like they are talking through a fan. This may be a location issue as well.
The whole GSM vs. CDMA argument though is not where I wanted to go with my post. Both have pluses and minuses.
The Sprint roaming more issue is a myth. Sprint has a larger native network than Verizon, so it would roam less nationwide, though maybe more in certain geographical locations. Sprint would roam more than AT&T would.
Verizon, like all the others, must be looked at as an entire package, because that's what you get when you subscribe, the good and th...

sprint only has towers of their own on major interstates, so if you drive about a mile away you are already roaming. So u have got to be joking about that "myth"!
...
Not to mention the recent letter giving their customers the boot because they call in to cs to much for all sprint billing screw ups...
there is good about sprint but they have the highest churn for a reason

I live in South Dakota. I know a whopping 2 people who have sprint. They hate it. They are counting down the minutes til they can switch. Is that sad or what
...
that is funny. you must be a special needs person. i doubt that any company out there only places their towers along major interstates.

Sprint Giving Military Members the Boot
--------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
I have been a Sprint customer for over 5 years now. Just shortly after my unit returned from Iraq, we recieved notification that we would be redeployed to West Point to train cadets over the summer. With almost 1/3 of the unit being Sprint customers, almost 200 soldiers, one of the first things we did was get online and consult Sprints coverage map to ensure that we would have service once we arrived. We where relieved to see that we would in fact have service and did not take any preventive measures in making sure that we would be able to maintain a reli...

Sprint native coverage= 263 million people. Verizon= 260 million, per their own web sites.
The fact that you may roam more or less on a given network doesn't matter if you have free roaming, which all major carriers now have.
Not arguing the CS and billing. I've already said that.
Most of my threads get derailed anyway! 🤣

Sprint has great native coverage in LA. Verizon has great native coverage in Wyoming. Who do you think is going to get more customers with the number of towers they have in those areas? Native coverage isn't about the number of people. It's about the number of towers. Native coverage not native population
...
This is how ALL wireless companies calculate native coverage, by the number of people they reach, not the number of towers they have up. Besides, even if we used that formula, Verizon still loses because Sprint can count Nextel coverage now and their towers.
This post is about overall quality and customer satisfaction, not who roams the most or who has the most towers.

sad what sprint is doing to there military members,, glad my sprint friends convinced me not to go with sprint!!!!
as for the best company i would have to go with verizon--my parents have verizon and when i had tmo i always had to "borrow" there phones to get a clear call or a call at all when we traveled, so did my brother who has at&t.
verizon has is more reliable--and thats what you need in a cell phone. nnow, for me verizon was way to expensive for me--so with lots of research--atleast in the areas that i travel-the next best thing in reliability (signal strenght) was alltel--and so far so good.
costumer service--well my parents never had problems with verizons costumer service--and in the 5 something years i was with tmobile--t...

with alltel i have nationwide plan 900 minutes, free mobile to mobile, free nights and weekends and free calls to 10 my cirlce numbers. last month i used 3000 mobile to mobile and my circle minutes and only 200 of my 900. my plan is only $60. i get as really good reception, everywhere that verizon gets and the others didnt.
...
Yikes I didn't know that, I know they don't offer service in Seattle 😳 so they're not even an option for me. I like verizon to much anyways.
...
yeah they do--well they have something calles the freedom national or something like that--that you dont can roam but you dont get any roaming charges-
and they also have this thing where you buy 100 roaming minutes for 10 dollars.
but if you travel alot, its best to stay with verizon to be sure. i would. alltel is still small but growing hopefully soon it will offer free roaming as it grows-- i travel but not so much and where i travel i dont roam.
alltel has great plans for good prices. i am very satisfied with them, but when i get paid more and travel more i would love to try verizon!!

But that is where you are misinformed Sprint has the 50 percent rule that they do enforce, and will can your ass if you break it. Do you need me to provide 100 links for you? This is where verizon is better!
...
AT&T does the same thing. I've seen a LOT of people get kicked off AT&T in my area. Funny thing is that they won't cancel the service early if you call them up and tell them you're in such an area. You have to wait for x amount of days before they tell you they're terminating their service.
...
Yes verizon free roaming is just that, no treats of termination when roaming, really who wants to worry about that, not me!
...
Can you imagine being one of the people doing maintenance on a cell phone tower in Iraq? What a crappy job.
...
thats why when i see people leaving verizon to go to at&t or sprint, even tmobile i think why are they going a step down???
for reason like verizon doesnt get good reception in my area--its rare, but a legit reason, i get that.
but to go because of a better phone (iphone) it just surprises me. Reliabilty vs having the new thing on the block?????? maybe its just me-- but i would rather know that if my car breaks down in teh middle of nowhere my phone is going to be reliable enough to make a call than to know that maybe the touch screen will work. but thats just me.
i say instead of going a step down go a step across.if they offer alltel in your area and you cant afford verizon got to alltel or stay your a$$ in verizon!! lol just my...

Duh. What doesn't kick the Q's butt? Motorola took a dump on a circuit board, and the Q was born.

I actually like my black Q allot but I hear many have troubles with it, does everything great for me and I do enjoy the open obex.

When I had the Q, my videos froze, I heard whistling sounds, excessive freezing, etc..

ok....verizon is extremely spotty on the east coast....alltel is the way to go here..

I don't have any personal experience, but I have a cousin in Manhattan and a cousin in Boston. Their parents are in Maine. They all have Verizon, and they're all happy with it.

Oh, and ATTs CS really does suck, a lot. Even our C&A can be rediculous to deal with.
...
T-Mobile and Verizon are the only good Customer Service for that too. I don't know if you never ago had Comcast but they pretty do much suck much.
...
Yeah, I have comcast. I couldn't move an account from one name to another even though it was the same address and I had authorization. 🙄
Luckily the lady waived all the activation fees they are supposed to charge. It was rediculous.

Well I have digital cable and about every week I have to call because the signal keeps breaking up. A few times they hung up on me! As soon as Verizon FiOS gets out here I'm switching my internet and TV over to VZ.
