I have had Verizon for a year now. I do not get a signal in alot of the areas that I fish. If I do it is usually weak. I had the america choice plan until I realized I was charged for roaming. I now have the Local Washington, Oregon, Idaho calling plan which has no roaming charges. I noticed when heading to the southwest washington river I am more times roaming. I recently had a bad experience with their costumer service. I ended up sending them a lengthy letter to get some billing issues cleared up. I still am going to keep the service for now because I have not seen anything to show that any other provider has better coverage.
