maybe ur gf is using those small cdma companies? i.e. metropcs and others.
Myself having gone through every single carrier and working in cellphone business will stay in CDMA and Verizon is by far the best. Also that depends how much money each company invest money in their towers and Verizon is by far the one who spend the most.
In NYC Verizon is the ONLY choice. ATT's network is horrible. The only weak spot I run into is on some parts of the N. Shore of LI.
I was just in NYC and I did not have a problem with my GSM phone.
Well we should all take your view after a few days here instead of all the people in NYC who say different.
