    Verizon drop calls often but i dont care because the coverage is fantastic. Voice and data I had just very few places with troubles.
    I'm driving anywhere u can imagine in USA and Canada and I do have signal 97% of the time anywhere. Even signal for internet in remote areas in Canada. When I'm in a remote area the data signal may be weak but at least I'm doing my job.

    I had ATT and went to Verizon, made me realize how bad ATT really was.

    When I was with AT&T I would have a few dropped calls per day, now with Verizon I might have 1 per month.

    AT&T has many loss of signal points. Verizon has been great to me for years.

    I've been thinking about switching to Verizon for some time now. I am finding it really hard to justify their pricey phone plans though. I'll probably end up signing on with them though since I hate AT&T (current T-mobile subscriber), and I never really cared for Sprint (was signed on with Sprint for a total of 2 months in 2004). I don't agree with the proposed T-mobile/AT&T merger, so I guess that I'm done with T-mobile in a couple of months from now.

    Verizon is greater then AT&T in my opinion. Only have a few places I don't get service with Verizon, and a few smaller areas like some valleys in Kentucky etc... But you get what you pay for I guess. Although cell services (especially mobile broadband) are way overpriced!
