Comments on: Verizon Wireless Service Returns After 5 Days Of Dropped Calls http://www.northescambia.com/2010/10/verizon-wireless-service-returns-after-5-days-of-dropped-calls Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sun, 12 Apr 2026 14:21:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: McDavidResident http://www.northescambia.com/2010/10/verizon-wireless-service-returns-after-5-days-of-dropped-calls/comment-page-1#comment-57718 McDavidResident Sun, 24 Oct 2010 02:11:02 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=32298#comment-57718 we switched to verizon from AT&T when we got tired of only being able to make or recieve calls in one corner of our living room. with AT&T we could never count on our bill being near the same amount every month, we werent going over our minutes because we accumilated nearly 4,000 rollover minutes, all 3 of our lines had unlimited data packages for web browsing, email, etc. and our bills never had an average....it would jump from around $165.00 one month to around $200.00 the next month. a few times it reached $300.00. AT&T would and could not offer an explanation for the bills jumping so much, but would offer $25 credit for 3 months. Verizon works in every room in our house and everywhere we use it at period. I am happy to say in almost 2 years our bill is ALWAYS within a $1 of the same amount. I can actually budget around my verizon bill. Verizon is also adding 4G to their network. thats the reason for the tower upgrade. we switched to verizon from AT&T when we got tired of only being able to make or recieve calls in one corner of our living room. with AT&T we could never count on our bill being near the same amount every month, we werent going over our minutes because we accumilated nearly 4,000 rollover minutes, all 3 of our lines had unlimited data packages for web browsing, email, etc. and our bills never had an average….it would jump from around $165.00 one month to around $200.00 the next month. a few times it reached $300.00.

If you aren't happy...go find another carrier! I say test it out before you commit to a contract, if you feel like you HAVE to sign a contract. many good alternatives out there..straight talk uses both verizon and at&t towers, depending on what band phone you get...cheaper..but if you have to call customer service you better know a foreign language. but still better than being a slave to a contract if you are unhappy with the service.

It never did pick up in the area and if it picked a signal up , it was dropped in a minuter or two . I was told to bring it back to the Atmore verizon store and when I took it back , I didn't get a refund for my 105 dollars that I paid . But instead the lady or salesperson wanted 35 more dollars to put it back on display...So needless to say...I am under contract with another verizon phone purchased there . But as soon as the contract is up, VERIZON WILL BE DROPPED AT MY HOUSEHOLD COMPLETELY...they are getting a little to big for their pritchers ....lol I got Verizon wireless internet a couple of months ago .

Why should we let them?" Because they can. Because those first signing up agreed to pay it. Because the government has the power to enforce contracts. When our contract term expired, we just went elsewhere. They informed us we still had to pay either the monthly rate or the cancellation fee. We pointed out we were not under contract and they were free to go after us but not to get their hopes up. They finally zeroed out our bill. Really, they would prefer to have happy customers because happy customers bring in more customers and pay much money over the years. Sometimes happiness is not in the cards.
