Verizon Mobile Phone Service in New York

Pros: Priced right!!! Good reception
Cons: None so far!

This plan is a great choice. With the additional option of unlimited mobile to mobile for $9.99 it was a great replacement of my Nextel units. The cost savings was significant (almost 1/2!!) and the reception has been much better!! I have been through...

Pros: great coverage, Good price for heavy users
Cons: you get killed after 1600 minutes

I've had this plan for over a year now, and find it great, especially when I travel (which is often). Great coverage all over the country (unlike AT&T, which I had and which I found has terrible coverage in many areas).

But for me, as a...

Pros: Good service area
Cons: Very brief trial period

after two years with att, the last being very disappointing, my contract is ending and I have moved on. I have found many areas in the Bronx where my ATT service didn't work, but BAM does. I even made a call from the basement of Sears on Fordham Road,...

Pros: I can hear anywhere !!! Good plans and great service
Cons: Ugly phones

My first service provider was Sprint PCS. I had such a bad experience with its service. I was deceived by the minutes and got into their plans. I live in Syracuse... and the phone never worked inside my house. I had to run out in the freezin weather...

Pros: Crisp calls, and nice pricing
Cons: One year contract

Telephones. They link us to our friends, family, jobs, businesses. They our the definitive point of communication. They are how we convey our ideas, messages, love, and information. But, does being stuck in a one-year contract make you fret? It did for...

Pros: Options, price
Cons: customer service, understaffed

I must state that I did a ton of research, and I mean a ton, before I purchased my cell phone calling plan from Bell Atlantic. I felt that Bell Atlantic was the least of all evils out there in the cell phone business. The first and foremost concern which...

Pros: Good plans, rates, and versatility
Cons: They have a poor selection of digital phones, which are pricey and need a contract.

I have been with Verizon ( Bell Atlantic) since 1995. Their coverage in upstate New York is pretty good. I know many people with other carriers who do not get a good signal in places I can "get out". Their new plan, SingleRate Northeast is the best I...

Pros: Works in most areas, service is solid
Cons: Pricier than alternatives

Acceptable but pricier than alternatives. I switched to BA/Verizon after a bad experience with Sprint(Please see my review of that experience if interested.) It's worth the extra cost.

Here is what I have learned that are important if you're...

Pros: Free Nights and Weekends
Cons: Unclear and Deceptive Billing

Has anyone had this problem with Bell Atlantic Mobile (now Verizon Wireless)?

You sign up for a plan that gives you free nights and/or weekends and also 50 minutes (or some other amount) of other (or peak) airtime. Although you are careful...

Pros: cheap
Cons: bad reception, bad customer service

I used to have a Bell Atlantic DC20 plan and I thought it was great. I had good reception and free nights and weekends for free. This only costs $20 and it saved me a lot of money calling my sister and my parents. My bills started coming and they were...

Pros: good coverage and service
Cons: contract length and phone selection

I have had the single rate east plan for about five months now. I am quite happy with the coverage and the signal strength. I rarely have lost calls and the clarity is great. It also has a huge coverage area on the east coast. I definitely would...

Pros: price
Cons: coverage

This plan is a strong entry into the cellular world. The service is clear and I only occasionally have difficulty getting a line, unlike Sprint PCS, where don't bother even trying to get a line during peak hours. The customer service is strong and the...

Pros: CHEAP, GOOD RECEPTION, WIDESPREAD
Cons: no cons i can think of.. i switched to this plan and I'm happy....

The Bell Atlantic Mobile One Rate East plan turned out to be the best choice for me; considering I travel on business throughout the northeast.

With this plan, you can call ANYWHERE! in the country, and be under your plan's minutes, as long as...

Pros: longdistance and roaming included from N.E. Georgia to Maine
Cons: some dead areas

This service is a great buy. This past June ('99)I began to look into the various plans available in the Westchester, NY area. I compared AT&T, Sprint and a couple of other providers. I travel up and down the East Coast a great deal and my old...

Pros: Consistent and clear connections.
Cons: None yet.

Well, I finally dumped AT&T about two weeks ago, after a year of missed calls and delayed voicemail due to their terrible underprovisioning in the downtown Manhattan area. I had to get a new phone (the StarTac I paid AT&T a thousand dollars for a...
