Verizon Wireless Snap Shot and Review:

Quick Facts

  • Industry leader in customer loyalty
  • Offers Prepay and Contract Plans
  • Soon to be the largest provider in the US

Why You??™ll Love Them: Verizon Wireless has the nation??™s most loyal customers for a reason. Test your phone for thirty days (and get refunded the money if you don??™t like it) just to check it out. Love getting new phones? Get a hundred dollar credit toward a new phone every two years (and they often have exclusives on hot new models, in addition to staying totally up to date). Text message a lot and don??™t want to pay outrageous overage charges? Done. They have an unlimited add-on that you can tack onto any plan. Blackberry chomping through your wallet? They have special PDA and Blackberry data, voice and messaging bundles. Family plan? Tons of options, including sharing minutes and adding lines, not to mention you??™ll always get free calls to other Verizon customers (which means you??™ll never use minutes to call the members of your family plan). They have pre pay options that don??™t require a credit check, they have programs for international dialing, texting, and roaming (which means you can be in another country or your recipient can). How about customer service? It consistently wins awards for being the best in the biz. Oh, and to top it all off, at absolutely any time you can upgrade or downgrade your plan. Little wonder they call it the worry-free guarantee.

Why You Won??™t: Its true that their tantalizing plan varieties do require credit checks, but they offer the option of prepay??"and actually, their prepay options are pretty good. Obviously not quite as comprehensive as their monthly contract plans, but they still offer variety and choice. Their international calling, however, is pretty expensive??"49 to 65 cents per minute (occasionally more depending on country). To be fair, they do offer international value plans that bring rates down to as little as 9 cents per minute??"good, but they could do better. Their cellular coverage is also pretty good, with a few gaps in the Midwest.
