I have been a verizon customer for a long time. I think they are the best company. Although their choice of phones can sometimes be lousy, you can probably find one you like. Their customer service is very good. the few times I had issues w/phones, they were able to satisfy me w/the solution. I have rarely had any problems w/their service. Very few dropped calls, no static. My son just switched to AT & T to get the Iphone. His room is on the lower level and sometimes he has to wander around the house to get a good signal.

It depends on where you live and/or travel. Overall, the answer is yes, but every carrier, even VZW, has their weak spots. No carrier has "bulletproof" service. It's really a matter of picking your poison, because you have to also consider price, customer service, and phone selection. Your preference(s) might differ from ours, so it's really about what is best for you. Maybe price and phone selection don't matter to you; maybe service is your number one priority, maybe it's customer service. Think about what you value/need and choose a carrier based on that. Far too many people on the internet are brand loyal and often recommend their preference(s) rather than yours. You must always remember we don't necessarily live where you do or have your needs. All that being said, if I had to rank them I would go as follows:
VZW
1. Service/coverage = A
Note: I don't give any carrier an A+, because none has perfect service, and this doesn't just go for VZW, it goes for all the carriers.
2. Pricing = B
Note: With this category you have remember that you sometimes get what you pay for and cheap isn't always better, but the same can be said for expensive, and this doesn't just go for VZW, it goes for all the carriers.
3. Phone Selection = B+
4. Customer service = A-
Sprint
1. Service/coverage = B+
2. Pricing = A
3. Phone Selection = B
4. Customer service = B
T-Mobile
1. Service/coverage = B
2. Pricing = A-
3. Phone Selection = B+
4. Customer service = A
AT&T
1. Service/coverage = A-
2. Pricing = B
3. Phone Selection = A
4. Customer service = B
VZW
1. Service/coverage = A
Note: I don't give any carrier an A+, because none has perfect service, and this doesn't just go for VZW, it goes for all the carriers.
2. Pricing = B

I've been wondering the same thing! Thank you!
Well I am a big verizon supporter. I think they get A s all around. No service provider is perfect but I have to say Verizon is closest I believe. I have all their services Fios TV, Phone, Internet, and Wireless. I also get discounts because I have all there services. I have been with verizon wireless for 7 years and believe it or not I have not had one problem. I am in Staten Island New york so coverage is not an issue for me. You can always give them a try as they do offer a 30 day money back guarantee.

Verizon probably is the best service provider, now that they've acquired Alltel, which to me was the best carrier hands down.
I am just skeptical of Verizon because they have tried to pawn off Friends & Family as the equivalent to My Circle, and it's not.
My cousin-in-law works for Verizon. Both of us were at a family member's house out in the sticks that was notorious for having bad cellular signals, and we were the only two who could get a consistent signal (without dropped calls). My affluent brother has used Verizon for years without complaint. Most independent reviews that I have seen have rated Verizon as the top dog in service and customer service. But it is also the priciest, which doesn't sit well with most of my extended family (who are also Alltel customers).
