    The Motorola Sliver blue tooth I purchased was good for setting still but far too loud with constant background noise for the other end. Parrot Bluetooth is the way to go, everyone says it sounds better and very clear.

    Zero issues even in the back woods for the last one thousand miles, had a few dropped calls when it switched towers but so far excellent and the hot spot is what is used now for my internet and it is faster than my house service.

    Im still grandfathered in with my unlimited data and im alittle upset to see it go. I stream alot of music between pandora and the tune in radio app. Cant wait to see what the new plan pricing is going to be. I thought alittle about switching to sprint for the unlimited data but my verizon ALWAYS has signal reguardless,so it would have to be some obscene pricing for me to switch. Sometimes in the backwoods of carolina when im roaming ill drop enough signal that i cant stream music but the phone service always works.

    I have been with Verizon for years, way before broadband, 4g lte etc and even before smart phones. I have at times been a bit miffed but mostly, I like it here, the customer service is very good, and the network is pretty extensive. At the moment, I have both a Droid Razr and the Blackberry Bold on my account. I guess it's like anything else, everyone has their fancy tickled in different ways. For my money, I'll just stay here. Oh, and by the way, the 4g on this thing is fantastic. And now even for 3g is working places it used not to.

    i have never had anything else but verizon. I really dont find it all that great and extensive as people tend to give them credit for. I can imagine everything else is just completely horrible if Verizon actually is called the best. I think maybe people just go along in giving them so much credit and never actually travel all that much. Verizon is just completely absent in very obvious areas where a signal should be. I seriously could list hundreds of areas ON the interstate where they just do not exist. Heaven forbid you get 10 miles OFF the interstate.I feel sorry for the others if verizon is so much better.

    I have a friend that has AT&T, I wouldn't wish that crap service on anyone. From talking to alot of drivers over the years Verizon is the only one I would consider for someone who is OTR.

    i hear ya brutha. they are the most expensive and aren't any better then the rest.

    that better coverage is all a myth and false advertising. and for the people that DON'T travel. are just plain stupid to be throwing that kinda money down the drain when there are 2 others that are cheaper and work just as good.

    I run with a guy who has ATT and he has alot less coverage than I do.

    I used to have Verizon years ago and switched because it would not cover me at home. Went to ATT for my wife and her commute. Paid dearly when I broke down and no signal.

    I went back as soon as they got coverage in my home area for my wife and her commute.

    Never will leave them again.

    How's the RAZR working for you? Hubbie is due for an upgrade and he is interested in that phone. We already have verizon and have had zero problems for a few years now.
