I love verizon too. Even when my phone shows no service in the building I work in I can still call and text with no problems.

Verizon. Not just because of the cell tower service, but the customer service. I started with them mostly because of the "IN" thing, all of my family, best friends, fiance, her family, most of the people I talk to the most have Verizon, saves a ton of minutes. The people in my local store always take the time to fix or replace anything I might have a problem with. Never had to pay for phone book transfers or to get a phone replaced. New feature they now offer is that you can change plans every month if you like, and backdate plans if you happen to go over the minutes you had allotted for the month. Also, not sure who you work for, but they have a discount for a ton of companies, up to 20%+ off your bill and 50%+ off your phones and accessories based on your employers. But I am a homer I suppose

That is not due to Verizon.
Text messages consume/utilize very minimal amount of "space" for the networks.
As such, they transmit before any cell signal can ever make it through.
That is why when all fails, they still work.

Having both networks, AT&T and Verizon in my household, and traveling the country, having noticed any difference in service.
I would buy the phone I like, such as if you want an iPhone, the choice of carrier is simplified.

I've had Verizon for years and wouldn't consider anything else - we've had issues with teen txt msg that would have normally send our bill through the roof! Called the Verizon rep and they would re-work our account, back date a program, what ever it took to keep the bill down. Hands down the best service I've ever received plus you can't beat the new phone every two years!

In Los Angeles, covrage is pretty good for all carriers so company isn't a real issue; it's the phones. I just swithed from my T-Mobile Blackberry to AT&T IPhone (posting from it now) because only AT&T carries it. It was the same for my wife's phone, the Samsung Eternitity. Coverage aside, some carriers have exclusive contacts where you cannot get the phone anywhere else so whatever phone has the best utility is what we go for.

Also, Verizon phones do not use SIM cards so you cannot pop it into a different phone and use it; you have to buy anyother phone. Definitely a turnoff if you want more advanced and newer cellphone.
