I work for VZW, and have used my phone in Gainseville and the coverage is great. In fact, coverage in FL is awesome. Local FL plans cover you in the entire state with absolutely no roaming. Period. So even if we don't have coverage somewhere we will eat the cost if you're picking up someone else's network, so there are no worries. And you can change your plan whenever you like. If you accept a promo you would have to extend your agreement, but there are always non-promo plans available to switch to if you don't want your contract extended. If you needed coverage in NY as well you may want to try America's Choice plans. These plans will not give you blanket coverage in FL, so you may run into roaming areas every now and then, but you can use them anywhere in the US as long as you're on our network (which is the largest).

Nov. 24th is right around the corner, and we're looking forward to the net adds that LNP will bring us. And VZW has a 15 day return policy if you aren't happy with the coverage. But I can guarantee you will be.
