I’ve had no problems with Verizon. I get 1400 minutes a month, picture & Texting, and the stupid VCast on 2 phones for $110/month total. $55 a phone isn’t bad if you ask me and I never lose reception. I’ve had Sprint, Nextel, and now Verizon and I’ve liked Verizon the most. I’ve lived in 4 areas of the country in the last 1.5 years and I’ve never had a problem in any of the 4 states.
