Verizon Wireless Adds New Cell Sites in Indio, Nuevo and Riverside


IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A teenager needs a ride home from school. A grandfather wants to wish his grandson a happy birthday. A first responder must text message her entire team. Whatever people consider urgent, they can depend on the most reliable national wireless network thanks to Verizon Wireless.
Verizon Wireless customers in Riverside County are now experiencing increased coverage thanks to three new cell sites:

Indio - West Indio, including area along Highway 11 and south along Jefferson Avenue to Avenue 52
Nuevo - improved service in the growing community of Nuevo
Riverside - Along La Sierra, including La Sierra University
"Our local expansion is just another way of ensuring that Verizon Wireless' network continues to support our leadership in customer loyalty,*" said John Palmer, regional president of Verizon Wireless.

Verizon Wireless is the only major carrier with a 30-day network test drive pledge that pays for calls if a customer isn't satisfied and switches to another carrier. The company has invested more than $40 billion in its wireless network over the past seven years. Of that amount, more than $4 billion has been invested in California, helping Verizon Wireless stay ahead of the growing demand for its services and add new capabilities, like Mobile TV.

There are more than 2,000 Verizon Wireless stores nationwide, including those at Circuit City.

Right! Mr.. VP I can name about 10 locations here near Phiadelphia where Verizon has never fixed known coverage issues since starting in 1984. Why not spend more on the system and less on PR. Can you here US now?
