Verizon Wireless Review
Verizon Wireless is the 2nd largest wireless network and has over 67 million subscribers in the United States. Although
they are only the 2nd largest network, they are the largest wireless provider in terms of revenue. Verizon was officially formed in 2000 and has grown in popularity year over year.
Verizon Wireless Technology Review
Verizon Wireless is one of the last major cell phone providers still using CDMA networks. Many of the big cell phone companies used CDMA but have since transitioned to superior technology. Verizon has also recently announced they will begin testing a technology similar to GSM in upcoming years so if you’re looking into signing with Verizon, you may see some major technology changes in the near future that would require buying an updated cell phone.
Verizon Wireless Cell Phones
Verizon Wireless offers cell phones from many of the major cell phone manufacturers including Samsung, LG and Motorola. They have a large variety of regular cell phones and smartphones. Some of their more popular phones include the Motorola Razr and the LG Chocolate. Most cell phone users would never notice the difference between a CDMA and GSM network but some tech junkies strongly prefer the newer technology of GSM.
Verizon Wireless Features
Verizon has some of its own unique services and features called V Cast.
- V Cast Music
- V Cast Mobile TV

I’ve loved Verizon so far. I’ve had AT&T, T-Mobile and Cricket and prefer Verizon over all of them.

Their network is a joke. Sometimes I get SMS messages and pages 3 days after they were sent to me, dropped calls constantly, dead zones miles wide. The internet is as slow as 2400 baud modem,
GPS can’t find any satellites. I should have gotten Cricket or something that actually works.

I bought several Verizon Ringtones and then upgraded to a new phone. According to the Ringtone Terms and Conditions, I have a license to use these ringtones for a year. However, Verizon wants me to re-purchase the ringtones I hold a year-long license to transfer them to my new phone. Their Terms and Conditions do not say anything about this for either Ringtones or Phone Upgrade. The Customer Server Representative verified verbally that neither of these Terms and Conditions state anything about having to re-purchase my already purchased ringtones during a conversation on 5/11/09 around 2pm MDT, which I confirmed that Verizon recorded. I believe this is fraud because they are attempting to charge me for something I have already paid for. Ironically, while the customer service rep was checking the Terms and Conditions to verify, the ad playing on the phone said that I could get new equipment and return it within 30 days AT NO CHARGE. I just had an issue with them the day before where they were trying to CHARGE ME A RE-STOCKING FEE because I returned a cell modem within 30 days. If I had not saved the chat text with one of their reps stating clearly that there were NO CHARGES if I returned it within 30 days, they would have charged me. Do you see the pattern here?

I feel Verizon Wireless is is the best provider,but most expensive too.But listen to this!Last week I did a post dated check (over the phone)for 5-16 Sat. Today Thurs.5-14 my phone was disconnected for non-payment.After I realized I haven’t had a call all day,I tried to use my phone & guess what?Shut off…all day long.I called & fin.serv.They turned it back on.I told them since I haul cars,I lost a whole day of work & feel I should be credited something.All they would do was waive the reconnection fee $15.00 when it was they’re fault.But be late on your payment & they’ll slap you Late Charge.

does anyone know how much extra it cost to update your phone before your 2year contract is up?

It depends on the phone. Sometimes they will let you do a one year upgrade but if not then you will need to pay full retail price which could be anywhere from $150 - $650. It all depends on the phone.

I have had verizon for over a year now and i can’t stand it. I paid the 10 dollars extra for unlimited texting and not only did they take that out but they also charged me for every text i sent and received! instead of my bills being 54.00 or so a month- i had to pay over 300.00 a month! I called and complained and they told me that i was at fault and they would not reimburse me. Needless to say after all was said and done, i ended my service and will never go back to verizon again!

Beware of unexplained charges! I was told my VCAST would be removed from my bill and I was not responsible for the charge. I deducted the VCAST amount from my bill and Verizon has the odacity to charge me a late fee for my unpaid VCAST. What a freakin rip off!!!!!!!!!!
