A little irritated...
So I just has a lady call into my store, she currently has Alltel but wanted to switch and was asking me about the differences. One thing I pointed out was how great VZW coverage is and that we are a National Carrier. She proceeds to ask me about our coverage, she is confused because when she spoke with an Alltel rep they told her they covered about 95% of the US and she would get significantly less coverage with VZW. I was so annoyed, first I don't think Alltel covers 95% of the US and VZW and Alltel's coverage is pretty much the same, we roam off each other and VZW has much more "home" areas. I'm not one to bash other carriers just to get the sale so this kind of stuff really irk's me, oh well I guess, it's sales.
...
Is that all you could come up with is that verizon is a national carrier? you didn't tell her altell chargers for roaming, etc etc.
...
No I told her quite a few other things but I didn't think that was important to the post.
...
it's based off of square miles. they cover like the whole state of wyoming, so technically they do cover more, but verizon covers the top 200 markets better than alltel.
...
Well the way she said it was that with VZW she would be losong a ton of nation wide coverage. The majority of Wyoming is covered by VZW.

if you go to their prepaid coverage map, that's what verizon actually owns. maybe i picked the wrong state, but you got my point.
...
Yeah I know what you mean. It was just annoning the way they had made it seem to the customer that they were going to lose so much coverage. I think Alltel and VZW have the best coverage and that they are very comperable to one another, oh well
...
Just thought I would point out that verizon does not roam off of alltel as much anymore. I know in the midwest, USCC is the main carrier we roam on now. Verizon has been changing the prl's to prefer other carriers over alltel for some reason, something to do with sprint, not sure.
