You'll see
Verizon Wireless sucks!!! Superior company? Ha,ha,ha. "We do not need to change our off-peak min because we are superior.
I can imagine having to talk to a Verizon Rep: "I get poor reception at my house."
The rep will reply: "I do not think so, you are lying damn bastard... We have superior coverage..." ha,ha,ha. Poor customers of yours. How arrogant.

This guy is an idoit! What is he talking about?
Verizon must be doing something right. We have more customers than any other company and are adding coustomers faster than any other company. Why would vVerizon need to change their off peak hours if they don't need to? Companies are out there to make money, not give **** away. Verizon does have the best network. It has been rated #1 by many. I will agree with you, as with any other carrier, there are some places the phone is not going to work.

Well-Well I see I opened a can of worms!!-First let me say that I strongly disagree with you, if you were to take a survey of your customers and ask them if they would like to see the off-peak time start at 7:00 pm I'm sure you would get an overwhelming "YES" now again I've heard alot about Verizon(Co-workers who have switched love it) but I've had Sprint for 4yrs and to be honest I've never really had any customer service issues to call about, so thats a plus-So why am I thinking about switching? because of the recent flux of dropped calls. I "DO" like the 7:00pm off-peak time but the dropped calls are annoying. Now if this is a problem with my Sanyo 4500 phone(had it for 4 yrs) then someone please tell me. Ive checked the coverage from my...

As to the issue of nights/weekends at 7pm.. VERIZON IS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE IT! All rate plans have to be created and verified by the wireless phone division of the FCC. Imagine what would happen to the rest of the competition if VZW went to n/w at 7pm? It would be a monopoly. Think about it.. n/w at 7pm, largest nationwide network, free IN-network calls to all other VZW customers.. Boom.
VZW has won the JD & Powers associate award for overall customer satisfaction in the wireless industry. SEVEN times. Nobody is perfect and on the chance you will get a jerk. It happens. People will be people. Even I get into moods where I don't want to deal with people.

Yeah I think so-Verizon is a BMW and everyone else is a Honda!!!

I love to read all of your replies, folks. I originally made an exagerated comment because of the way 85percent answered a question: "No, we don't need to change our night time minutes. We have free In-Network calling and superior coverage." Even if you had better coverage, that does not make you superior.
I mean come on. I do not want to deal w/ people like that, and I do not think any people want to. Why do most Verizon reps have to be so arrogant? People have concerns, doubts, etc, that need and want to be addressed. They do not want you to repeat the same thing over and over.

I have posted my opinion on another post, but I have had my VX4500 for about a month now, and I love the phone. It is very similiar to the VX4400, but a lot better. Especially the driving mode, and the announcing alerts (ie Voice Mail, Text Messaging, Talking Caller ID { ONLY ON DRIVING MODE}.

Thanks for the input-I've thought about the 6000. C/City has a rebate on it right now and the phone would only cost me one cent with a two year agreement.
...
It is not a real rebate Macdawgg. It's a $70 from VZW and the remaining difference is from a CCity gift card rebate. Not cash back no matter WHO says it is.
And CC is notoriously AWFUL about sending their internal rebates. Trust me. I worked for them for 5 years and dealt with "I didn't get my rebate" all the time and on a daily basis.

Cingular has the best coverage in Atlantic City. They have decent, but not the best, coverage of Las Vegas. That may be the carrier for you and your friends if those are the places you frequent.

well, thank you for speaking on behalf of every one of our 22 million east coast customers. thats right, just on the east coast alone, we have almost as many customers as the other carriers do nationwide.
but they're all morons for choosing verizon, right? all 22 million verizon customers on the east coast have bad service with no reception, which is why they're with us...

Coverage is important, although many people tjink immediately of distant coverage and not their own home town. In three metros in the Northwest that I can think of Verizon and Sprint are the only ones that cover the city limits 100%. ATTWS (soon to become Cingular) T-Mobile and Cingular have serious coverage issues. It wouldn't be so bad but they are GSM companies so an emergency call can't be made on analog or CDMA. Verizon's coverage in these cities is incomparable. We are talking 3 million pops metros, not cow pastures. Verizon meets customer needs where others don't care to.

I figured I would respond to this 7pm free night minutes. What good is 7pm free minutes when you can't get a signal? Verizon has more towers, more customers, most reliable network proven year after year after year. Another big point, you have to PAY for the night and weekends to start at 7pm on sprint. I think everyone forgot to mention that. It is $7 a month for that option. And you have to be on a $35 plan or higher. If you want to pay $7 a month, $84 a year, u go right ahead. After selling Verizon for 3 years, and before that working for Cingular. I have found "as a customer myself" that verizon works good enough to be a home phone. Which is why I have my Verizon phone as my home phone. I'm not "arrogant" when I sell Verizon, b...

I agree, it would be nice to have the 7p.m. option for VZW customers, but I tell them the real reason Sprint and AT&T offers it, and it is due to the network, and they HAVE to offer something to keep their customers.

I too use VZW as my home phone. Regarding the call forwarding, VZW feels that instant call-forwarding when the phone is plugging in had security risk issues. Our customers have to dial *72########## to fwd. A bit of an inconvenience unless you save it to a voice command or onekey dial.

Free call forwarding? Now there is the first thing I have seen that adds extreme value to Verizon for me. No daytime minutes used at home!
That is a great thing Especially if the signal is not strong at home.....
I have another question re: Verizon. Can one use the phone as a dial up for Internet use or do you have to pay for any web service like with ATT?
Does the $5 web fee serve all Internet data to the phone without counting kb's?
This is good information guys. Although the BMW comparisons are wearing thin!! LOL

After shoppng around and reading different forums I get the impression T Mobile is more Teen Mobile.
They seem to gear their advertising towards that market. im guessing becasue they do not have the capability to roam on other than 1900 mhz making them less of an opyion for those who might travel more even slightly outside their home area.
Companies like Verizon ATT and even Cingular to lesser extent don't really market the frills like downloadable ring tones and games as much as T-Mobile.

I am also amazed with the pre-occupation of down loadable games on cell phones no matter who is the carrier. I can't imagine games being any kind of motivator to have or choose a cell phone? Sometimes I have to tell people on the job to stash the cell phone not because they are making a call, but rather they are playing video games on the phone, in their place of employment, on company time.

seriously go to the t-mobile forum and talk. who cares about forwarding min or whatever. t-mobile is great if you live on a yellow line in the middle of the highway. anyone can get service there.

In sales you convince a customer to purchase a phone and plan. Hopefully this is done ethically and honestly.

Yes, our service is the best, but that isn't the only reason people have cell phones.

Yes you are Very correct when you say that Nextel has hairline coverage but at least i have a FULL SIGNAL IN ALL THOSE AREAS!! unlike Verizon! if they wouldn't say that they have coverage where there signal is down to one bar then i think that vzw would have half the amount of coverage that they advertise!

Hmmm, if we said we DIDN'T have coverage in areas that we DO have coverage our coverage would be smaller...
Come to that conclusion all by yourself?
One bar of service is plenty. Where my parents live in Georgia I get 1 bar of service on my Nokia 3985i. I always get my calls and I can always call out with that one bar and I've never dropped a call. The only time I can't call out, is when the phone says NO SERVICE and that only happens if I go to the bottom of the gully behind my house and wade into the creek.
If your equipment has enough signal to display one bar but is not making/recieving calls... might need a diff phone...
Come to that conclusion all by yourself?

Thanks for the kind words ..All I need to say is, compare the national coverage maps between the two companies. If Nextell's hairline coverage does actually cross through your block, and Verizon for some reason doesn't, then sure I'd go with Nextell too. However, just because Verizon doesn't cover your particular block of town, doesn't mean we have poor reception across the entire eastern sea board.

Yes you are Very correct when you say that Nextel has hairline coverage but at least i have a FULL SIGNAL IN ALL THOSE AREAS!! unlike Verizon! if they wouldn't say that they have coverage where there signal is down to one bar then i think that vzw would have half the amount of

When will people get it that the signal bars on their phone have only a vague correlation to actual reception. I have made many great quality calls with no signal bars on the phone.
In the old days you could put a Nokia phone in the field test mode and read the network signal strength where you were. This is more accurate than the signal bars on the phone.

No matter where I go, my friend's Metro phone seems to never have better than 1 bar...but somehow he gets all his calls and is able to make them as well. It's sometimes infuriating when I see him using 5000 minutes a month for $55. Ugh.
