I have been with Verizon Wireless for over 6 years now and love them. I get a signal in places where others have complained they get none. I get a signal in your living room, Dad. I've never had anything but good experiences with them. Also because your youngest daughter and your son-in-law are customers you could call them free of charge... :-)

I actually dumped my land line a few months ago and use only a cell phone now. I have 450 "anytime" minutes and I don't think I've ever used them all (which shows you how much I talk on the phone).

I got my VW phone when living at the northern tip of Vermont and driving back to southern Maine every 6 weeks or so (alone). I had coverage the entire trip.
