Re: Verizon is not that good

Well in Grand Rapids I have found that Nextel is now way more reliable the Verizon, and that's saying a lot. My first cell was though Verizon and they were a great providers since they inherited Air Touches network. Now they want to sell you a phone that does everything except give you a reach around, but sucks and making calls. All I want my cell to do is to make calls, is that to much to ask.

I tend to agree... I need a phone to make good clear / non dropped calls. I could care less for most of the features.
Since Nextel built out 2 new sites (one brand new, Nextel only, and one ontop of a Sprint site), its become very reliable.
Only problem with Nextel is battery life, and coverage in many areas (i.e. no coverage in Northern Michigan or Northern Ontario Canada).
I had Verizon once, but had such a bad experience (store, billing, dropped calls, customer service), I could never go back.
I use AT&T a lot, and it works well, although there's a lot of 'garble' here in SoCal. I've been hard pressed to not have coverage wherever I've been (Northern Ontario being the exception).

Man I know that 'garble' you speak of well. I hear it all the time in North Atlanta.
