Verizon Wireless - What You Need To Know"Should I Choose Verizon Wireless As My Next |
 |
If you base your shopping decision on national survey results -- Verizon Wireless may be a safe choice.
The carrier has ranked well in recent surveys conducted by independent consumer groups JD Power & Associates and Consumer Reports for the last six consecutive years.
And -- on the heels of recent lawsuits and allegations -- the carrier appears to be making strides in becoming more "consumer friendly."
New network subscribers are provided a 30 day, money-back Test Drive to try out the network. Current subscribers can expect no contract extensions when changing calling plans, and pro-rated early termination fees.
About Verizon's Network
Since its merge with Altell earlier this year, the carrier has become the largest cellular network in the U.S, and provides wireless service to approximately 290 million subscribers.
The company claims to spend an anual $8 billion on expansions and upgrades to their CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) 3rd generation network technology.
Some of that money is spent employing Test men and women who, according to the company's website, "conduct more than 3 million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually".
