I can't wait for my iphone contract to be up in December. I can't even get a 2G connection wherever I go and I will never be sucked into anything like this ever again.
That is TO BE EXPECTED. I've had Verizon, Alltel, and MTPCS Cellular One (all three carriers here). NOBODY has service in many of the places I travel. You think Verizon will mean less dead spots? Good luck. Alltel (which is being bought by AT&T here) has far fewer dead spots than Verizon. But they still have plenty of them. That's life. You really can't run anywhere better.
