honestly: it's all the towers in DC. For some reason, VZW holds the market down there. Even in Northern VA. GSM just doesn't penetrate areas like CDMA does. I know, it's way frustrating.

Also, VZW has signal routers for the entire metro station, I believe.

But AT&T is a close second....

just don't go T-Mobile. Horrible in DC.

I was born and raised in the 7o3 area (moved out of it this past Oct). If metro is a concern for you, then go VZW. VZW is the only carrier that has signals in the metro tunnels.

Otherwise, the coverage is the same. Unless if you want to go to Sterling or Lorton, then I may recommend VZW.

You do a good job of trying to not sound like a "troll". But this post clearly points out the fact that you are throwing dirt on your own company.

You must not be a good salesperson. You also must not be meeting your quota. Take some extra trainings to step your game up.

Then you don't really work for the company, it's just that simple. The DM sends out emails to everyone in the district almost daily and visits every retail store at least once a week. If you don't know who he is then you are lying about working for Verizon. I know because I ACTUALLY work in "your" district, and I am sick of reading all your lies.

I'm not at work right now, and I don't know if I could or not. I do get onto the site every now and again at work, but I've never tried to actually log on or make a post. Even if I could post, I wouldn't.

There are so many things you have said about the Easton store that aren't true. I'm not going to get into this with you any further. I have proved my point, you don't work there, so anything you have to say is officially irrelevant. It's not like anyone takes what you have to say seriously anyway.

he doesn't work for VZW. after looking at his posting rate he does on his "8830" ... definitely not. this guy is imposing as someone he isn't ... definitely should be banned. sounds like another "DiZ B00zT M0BiLe!!!"

Not sure if you know, but its spelled MANAGER. You call it a manger every time. A manger is where Jesus was born, not sure what exactly a district manger is.

env2. I want to get a smartphone, but then one of my former VZW co-workers said something profound to me -

You should only get those things if they can make money for you, otherwise it's pointless.

It isn't really a CDMA vs. GSM issue. It's a matter of having repeaters in place and overall coverage. I will say that in my experience with CDMA and GSM, CDMA tends to have less disruptions. For example, I have never had this happen with a CDMA phone but with the TMO Sidekick every time that phone was anywhere near a speaker in the car or my house it would transmit a buzzing noise through the speakers.

I hope you got an answer to your question Jedi!

Working in wireless (at the moment) the only real advantage I PERSONNALY (note I said personnally) with GSM is it is much more "User Friendly" if you travel overseas. My opinion, regardless of who sign's my paycheck, whatever works BEST for you, where and when you need it.. that's the way you should go! 🙂

Jedi- It was not you that was called a troll. You had a serious question and it was hijacked by a troll (BB....) In the end, the decision should be based on what works best for you.
