About as misleading as testing a network in 12 of the top 100 markets and claiming its the best nationwide, huh?

VZW BLOWS DONKEY 😲

Why is it that someone always has to ruin the intellectual talks by bring farm animals into the picture???

dont blame me, it was your mothers idea

then will you just tell her to let the damn donkey go then...jeez, I hate it when she does that

aha a man with a sense of humor, thats rare in these parts, almost as rare as a man who cares about the company he works for enough to put their name in his user name

Thank you, I aim to please!!! 😁

dont aim 2 high

Why not? That's my job, to aim as high as I possibly can

can you read the writing on the wall

no I can't...what does it say???

IMHO -- Ive had every carrier imaginable and there is none better than Verizon with coverage. I have great reception and no dropped calls. 😛

Pimp, instead of bashing the Consumer Reports article...tell us EXACTLY why it's so misleading. And then tell us why we should take your opinion over professional surveyors/researchers that perform this kind of work every day.

In that particular area I would have to back up phonepimp...how can one advise that a company has the best NATIONWIDE network from testing 12 cities? For that I would think someone should do some major travelling...I'm talkin cross country, pack up the RV, hit the road, see the sites, travelling

I would do that, better than talking to morons about their moto

Exactly my point. 12 markets is such a small part of the coverage map of VZW that it doesn't give even a hint of the picture nationwide.

Perhaps they used sampling? 😁

That's it! I'm pinning down my Verizon regional rep today and making him explain how this stupid survey can make any sense after "quizzing" only 31,000 people.

Really you need to just pay a guy to walk cross country with a cell-phone saying "Can you hear me now?" after every step. 😁

lmao...and then pay some little orange splat guy to follow him around marking the times he has to ask twice...LOL

And then Catherine Zeta-Jones comes by in a bikini and everybody forgets what they were talking about! Ya gotta admit, as corporate shills go, TMobile has the cutest one... 🤣

Hey, I don't know... Jack Splat has STYLE!!! And he wears Speedos, but they're orange, so you can't tell. Think it's because he got cut in the final call for BAYWATCH...lol

So I guess it's true about the tangerine speedo's, then... just like the song! 🤣

Buddy, he's not wearing any speedo...he's buck naked and you know it.

Man, now that's CONFIDENCE!

If you could get away with running about buck naked every day, wouldn't you take advantage of it? I certainly would.

I second that....I mean...

I could probably get off by pleading insanity...hehehe

To which the officer would reply "Well you were up until the time you painted yourself orange, ya mooley!" and then he would arrest you and put ya in the pokey... 😁

I'd rather not be in the pokey while buck naked, thanks.

Pimp's got a point, though. Polling 31,000 people? They've gotta be using sampling or something. I'm actually being turned to the dark side by Pimp. Do you see it? Ah!

well yea Pimp makes good points and admits there are faults with every carrier, unlike Cain who thinks Cingular is jesus...

Okay...first it was "Cricket" and now it's "Bed-Stuy". I suddenly feel stupid.

cricket - the little tiny gun that slammed Will Smith in 'Men In Black'

Bed-Stuy - the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of NYC...one bad ass neighborhood

And down here in South Florida we have a little neighborhood called Liberty City. Can you all say "I survived the 1980 riots!". I can.

Ah, I remember the Cricket. As for Bed-Stuy...I think I shall stay out of that neighborhood being a very white pasty Irishman.

everyone knows that the darkside of the force is stronger though.....I didnt see Luke Skywalker shooting lightening from his fingers

and TLJ wasnt always a good guy....Batman, and that one where he was a pyscho IRA bomb specialist

As usual, you keep distorting everything I've ever said on this forum, you asswipe. I think you are just jealous, because the amount of tech knowledge you have wouldn't fill a thimble. And I just happen to be the one that put you in your place. You think phonepimp is cool, but you don't like me? He told you the same thing as I did, and he thinks you're and ass clown, too. Hell, some of the VZW guys think you're a joke, too. Do us all a favor and stick to something more in your league... like Toy Cell Phones filled with candy.

They make toy cell phones filled with candy? I didn't get one?! 😢

Well that explains why they didn't test us--but still, that's TMobile coverage that got Cingular the kudos in NYC... 😉

And Cingulars coverage that gets T-Mo such great coverage in CA and NV... so we're even...lol

Yeah, but we're buying it off you--then it will be OURS! ALL OURS, BWAHAHAHAHA!!! 🤣

And we're buying the NY coverage off you, so nyahhhhh 😛

Nope, you bought AT&T to get the NY market, we're keeping ours, so neener neener, chili beaner! 😁 😛

Actually, you are giving up spectrum to Cingular in NY.

Cingular Wireless today announced it would end its network infrastructure joint venture with T-Mobile USA in New York, California and Nevada. Cingular will sell the California and Nevada network and certain accompanying spectrum to T-Mobile USA for approximately $2.5 billion. Cingular will also receive 10MHz of spectrum from T-Mobile in the New York area. The transaction is contingent on Cingular’s acquisition of AT&T Wireless, and federal approvals. Both Cingular and T-Mobile customers will be unaffected by the deal.

Just a leetle bit... 😁

Yup, if the VZW buy is any indication, about 930 million dollars worth...lol chump change!

A mere bagatelle! Less than the dust beneath the chariot wheels, corporationally speaking... and wouldn't I just LOVE to have a small fraction of that!!! 😳

you and me both... I'm still waiting for UPS to drop off that 20 pounds of hundreds they assure me is on the way...

Those lying bastiches! They told me MINE was next to be delivered! Schmucks... 🙄
