Verizon is well-known for the reliability and extent of its network service. However there are some places in the US where there is no Verizon service, and if you live in one of them, then the Verizon Apple iPhone will not be much use to you. To check your locality on the Verizon network, you should go to the official Verizon website and take a close look at the map. Their Customer Service staff is happy to help with enquiries and queries, so contact them online. Verizon has service arrangements with other providers where they have no direct service and there is the most extensive and comprehensive in the States. It is also more reliable than their rivals and you do not become frustrated because of dropped calls. This rarely happens; if it does, the calls can normally be retrieved easily. If you are a disgruntled AT&T user, then you will have less hassle with such annoyances with Verizon.
With Verizon's Nationwide Plus Canada and Nationwide Plus Mexico Plans, you can use the Verizon network in the knowledge that you will have as much connectivity as is humanly possible in these countries as well as in the United States. Verizon's network and CDMA roams in forty countries including China and India, but it doesn't work in Europe. Your iPhone will work on wireless networks when there is no CDMA signal, and will make Wi-Fi calls via Skype. If you need more roaming capacity because you are going abroad, then Verizon's Backup service will provide you with a GSM device so that you have connectivity while you are overseas.
Verizon has the largest and most reliable 3G network in the United States and what it claims is the fastest and most advanced 4G LTE network which it launched in December 2010. However recently it experienced its first outage and this seems to have affected most users, although the problem was soon fixed.
The company has invested $65 billion dollars since it was established, that's an average of $6 billion a year, to increase its coverage and the capacity of the network, and to add new services for the benefit of its customers. It monitors the network by using call testers that check the service, especially the voice calls are operating smoothly and connectivity is regularly checked so that if there is a problem area it is likely that it will be spotted quickly and fixed.
Verizon customers are provided with very good customer services and new customers are offered a satisfaction guarantee or their money back. If you are dissatisfied with the device you have from the company, you can return it within 14 days of having activated it and pay no early termination fee. That's how confident Verizon is about the quality of service it offers through its network.
