I posted a similar statement a week ago but some loser responded with cuss words so the moderator deleted the entire thread. What baffles me is that people would pay $59.99 through Verizon for 900 anytime minutes plus call-me plus nights and weekends when USCC offers 1,000 anytime plus call-me plus nights and weekends for $39.99. Twenty dollars less !!! Yes, I realize that for some areas VZW is the only choice. That's fine. But if you do have a choice, why on earth would you choose Verizon?? Especially in view of the fact that they disable most of the features on their phones.

okay it wasnt me that cursed you out..althogh i have the rite mind to..u post this everywhere and weve given u answers..to sum it all up, uscc either doesnt work out where we live... or they just dont want it. Why does it matter to you? just shut up its a beat situation.
...
If I succed in getting you riled up you might call Verizon. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. So just shut up now and call Verizon.
...
OK, so all I have to do is cuss you out and then you will shut up and stop posting??

Why Verizon! You could do a lot better picking cingular with great gsm tech and not that dated cdma network

What makes GSM better? the smaller network? the fact that you can use it internationally when most of us do not go to Europe? Because it is three letters rather than 4? Or because you cant get as fast a data connection? Or because GSM cant carry as many calls per tower? I'm really looking to know why GSM is better...

Git R done
I love it, I have GSM before and lost or didn't receive half of my calls. Verizon is great always helping out. Lot better than that T place

Actually, CDMA is a newer technology than GSM and has many advantages. Faster speeds, more privacy, analog to digital conversion, and most importantly...LESS RADIATION. Do a simple search "GSM vs CDMA" and learn the facts rather then throwing your uneducated guesses all over the place.

Actually Cingular's own CEO pretty much admitted in a recent Business Week interview that Verizon had the best network.
Not bad for a 'dated' CDMA network, huh? 🙂

Because alltell doesn't have the same coverage as verizon. Yes there both CDMA but look at sprint and verizon. Verizon has much better coverage. Maybe alltell(I have no idea how to spell alltell) has some strong points but overall verizon works damm near everywhere other cell companies do and them some. Most people do leave there local area and travel at some point or time and this is when they need there phone most. Overall I think people choose Verizon because alltell really doesnt have the as good of coverage as Verizon.
...
because your plans start at 39.95 national .40 overage and 5.95 for unlimited nights and weekends and it didnt say anything about mobile to mobile. but who needs it with 1/4 of vzws customers to talk too. 🙄 and thats most likely extra too.
vzw plans are 39.99 a month for 450 min u/l nights and weekends no extra coast u/l mobile to mobile to ANY OF our MILLIONS of customers and no roaming and long distance charges any where in the us. and our coverage map is way larger. 😁
...
Can I say, most reliable network? Honestly, ask anyone, they will tell you that the coverage easily beats out any other carrier point blank. The commercials don't lie. 🙄
...
Let me tell you why Verizon. Has the best Customer service, Largest most reliable network. You might pay a little more but it is worth it. Just ask the Hurricane victim's. There network was the only one available in the area during the Hurricane. Look at a Verizon wireless store and look at a Cingular store. Verizon added double the amount of Customer as Cingular. The CEO of Cingular talk about how good Verizon is. Go figure!!! Think about this. Cingular does not offer insurance on phone over $300. 😳

Good answer. 😁

You can argue your point but the facts are the facts, verizon operates on a dated network format for the US. And no they are not rated number 1 in the top markets anymore. They do have competition now. Cdma is not a good format overall. GSM is the way to go. What verizon does well is marketing son.

This is honestly foolish, so many threads are on here about people b*tching at each other over which carrier is better. Each persons preference is usually indicated by the company they choose to have service through. Each company has its ups and downs, lets just leave it at that. Stop running in circles and egging each other on by comparing companies...all of them provide the same thing, Wireless Service. Some may think one is better than another, which everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but lets not continue to hack away at each other especially for something as stupid as which cell company they use. 🙂

lol, thats funny

Hey GSM people take a look at the coverage maps. See a difference? What about the fact that GSM carriers will have to switch to CDMA to get the faster data speeds CDMA already has. GSM is simply not a 3G system and CDMA is 3G. Making CDMA a far more superior technology. CDMA format is working very well with the release of Verizon's new EVDO data networks. Lets see a GSM network compare to the speed of CDMA. We all have to face the facts that cellular is going in the direction of DATA. One day EVDO is going to be as cheap as normal broadband internet and who are you going to pick to supply that Broadband Connection, SBC who limits you to your house or Verizon who is just as fast and offers a nation wide broadband network. In addition by the t...

um just playing devil's advocate, but what about EDGE and the fact that more customers means more revenue. Hope everyone's having a great week. I'm jonesin' for a razr.

What about HSDPA???? That is the high speed GSM 3G upgrade path!!!! It will match EVDO speeds, and possibly beat them.
Do some research before you make a baseless post like this.
What ABOUT HSDPA? EVDO is available NOW and is nationwide, where is HSDPA available? NOWHERE! By the time HSDPA is available nationwide Verizon will be upgrading to the next version of EV-DO.
...
HSDPA is currently available in some markets and will be available in all 100 top markets by the end of 2006. Verizon, in no way, will have Rev A fully deployed by that time. 🙄
...
To be fair, HSPDA is only in what.. 15-20 cities right now?
Thas' pretty puny compared to the 140 million peeps who can get EVDO service right now, you gotta admit.

Currently, you are right. It is puny when you compare to EVDO's deployment. But, you will be very surprised to see how quickly HSDPA is across the entire network.

Actually I hear that GSM is an older technology than CDMA. Wouldn't that make GSM the more 'dated' network?
If you're talkin' 3G, well Verizon is 'bout 12 to 18 months ahead of Cingular in rolling that out too.
In any case, it don' matter. CDMA works well, an' Verizon has the best overall network out there. Even Cingular's CEO pretty much admitted this in a recent Business Week interview.

The CDMA idea was used during the WWII to make a radio transmission more secure. just a thought...
...
Well thats not 'zactly the same thing as cellphone use, but noted.
Still, the main point remains.. Verizon is what Cingular wants to be. And Verizon sure is spankin' Cingular hard with 'WWII' technology, if we're gonna oversimplify fo' a moment.. Verizon added somethin' like double the number of customers Cingular did last quarter. An' with half the churn. The competition 'tween the two is kinda like watchin' a Colts-Texans game right now.
So maybe Cingular wishes they had 'WWII' technology too, if they could get those kinda results from it. 🙂
...
Honestly, I understood that to be more of a merit to its security.

USCC's Unlimited Callme Minutes is a joke. Try getting those free callme minutes when you leave your region.

y is this in the v3c forum? 😕

simply because maximus is immature and seems to feel that his gsm is far superior to our cdma..althoguh its not..noones wants to hear it.

hey, lets just break out the ruler and call it a day.

to put it simply...Verizon if you do a lot of traveling throughout the nation....otherwise go with USCC for the price and if you only travel within the region they offer in your area. Services really are comparable, they'll both get the job done for whatever you need to do with them.

i love how people ar trying to talk about a 3g network for cingular thats not even out yet evdo/broadband access(verizons high speed network) has been out since beginning of 2005 and has been proven to be the best at this time----will some other carrier come out with something faster, possibly until then dont knock verizons network --->the second thing is cdma can handle a higher call volume than gsm cdma can handle about 6-10 calls per channel while gsm can only do about 4-8 so cdma is the better network here in the states -->the third thing is verizon's 2005 gross adds beat out all the other US carriers and i think that speaks for itself-- if your going to bash something do some research on it first
...
nobody can even speak after that postt...he jsut burned everyone..just get over it gsm...
...
Why bother responding to these posts? Not just this post in general but all the gsm haters?
They are miserable trolls, and come to our message board to troll about how bad our network/phone selection/service is.
Who cares what they think? We are happy, they are not. we dont go to their gsm messageboards and tell them how sh!tty their gsm network is...WHY? BECAUSE NONE OF US GIVE A SH!T.
Stop the trolling, please 🙂
