I use Verizon Wireless, I've only had it for a year though. Seems to work just fine. I haven't had any problems with the company.

I've had no problems with Verizon as far as service goes in the 3 or 4 year that we've used them. One benefit is that all calls to other Verizon users are "free." Their phone selection is disappointing though - It's basically a Chocolate from LG or some bulky off-brand flip phone.

Maybe your particular Verizon store is just lacking in phone variety...you should be able to get most, if not all, phones from Samsung, LG, Motorola, etc., or even Blackberry if you want to lug that thing around with you to your business meetings. You should be able to get a phone from pretty much any big-name mobile telephone company...
The best benefit is the unlimited calls/texts/picture messages to other Verizon users, if you subscribe to said services. If you're in a high-Verizon area like me, it's a godsend. I crank out up to 10,000 texts a month (sent + received).

I wanted to go with Cingular pretty bad, but the coverage in my area is sorta patchy, and I was determined to find a provider who covered just about all of Iowa. Which pretty much narrowed it down to US Cellular or Verizon.
I went with US Cellular in the end because I read about the way Verizon cripples their phones, and I'm morally opposed to dicking with technology like that. Plus they had the AIDS phone, so I figured my purchase would in some small way benefit a good cause.
Yes yes, I see the jokes coming. I will, in fact, enjoy my AIDS.
