I have had Verizon since before they were Verizon. It has been a bit of a hassle renewing each time ( I usually have to tell them twice that I want the same plan $9.99/month w/ only 50 min) It is such an outdated plan that they keep trying to get me to upgrade. The phone service has always been very good and I haven't found even their roaming fees to be outrageous.

I got my husband a cell phone for Christmas and I got him Sprint. On that one we do have an more extensive plan, free long distance, nights and weekends, etc. Their service area has been a little more iffy though. Last month he made two calls, two minutes apart to the same #, from the same location. One was charged roaming, the other local call. When I called to ask about it, they said well, you must have hit a dead spot where our tower didn't cover. He was at a rehearsal for the musical he was choreographing and calling the parents' of a student who had twisted her knee. How far could he have wandered?
