Is there anyone who has used an online broker to sign up for Verizon? You end up getting phones for free after a rebate (Motoe815 & Samsung i700). Are there any problems doing this online deal compared to dealing with Verizon directly? Thanks for any tips! DeeG
Thanks for the tip. I did actually find the thread for wirefly. It may be some have had a good deal and are satisfied with the results, but when you read about the fiascos that others have experienced, forget it. When a company goes out of their way to out and out screw you, I don't want anything to do with them. We're signing up at the local VZW tomorrow on a family plan. They just dropped the price on the Moto e815 to $50, which I was interested in. I'm dropping T-mobile and my Sharp TM150 (nice phone). Thanks again! DeeG
I noticed you have your location marked as Kalamazoo so I looked at the license spectrum maps for K'zoo. Verizon is a PCS (1900 MHz) carrier in your area. Alltel and Centennial have the cellular (850 MHz) licenses. Because of that you may find that Verizon's in-building coverage to be weaker than you like. T-mo may have had the same problem. Be sure to test things out before your 14 day trial is over. As a point of reference I live in Big Rapids and use Alltel.
My girlfriend has had VZW for 6 years anmd has had good results, both indoors and out. She had a tri-mode phone (Moto, not sure which model), and now has a Samsung 610 (digital only), which has worked in all but the most remote areas. I'm looking at getting a Moto e815, which is all digital also, but is known to be a good signal getter. I have a Sharp T150 with T-mobile currently, which suffers from varying signal strength, especially indoors. Verizon recently bought out Cricket in this area, and does use Alltel's towers. I did have Alltel years ago, and found their coverage to be superior (I've been with Nextel(lousy) and Centennial (about as good as T-mobile). I'm hoping I'll have as good of coverage as my girlfriend had. Some friends of mine have Sprint, which seems great in the city and along major roads, but fades quickly in fringe areas. Thanks for the tip! DeeG
