Reply #5: I've had Verizon since roughly 2001 or 2002

except for a brief period when we moved to an area where Verizon had no service and we used T-Mobile.

VERY happy with Verizon. Never had a problem wit them or their phones, have always been able to get help or assistance or answers to questions on the first call. I don't recall ever having a billing issue.

our phone that we have now is the ATT haters version of iphone (kind of). it's touch screen. No iphone by any means, but I like it just fine it's the LG Dare. Decent little phone.

Would love an iPhone but I have HATED every service offered by AT&T. we had cable with them in the late 90's and it sucked. Service sucked, customer service SUCKED so hard. THen had internet with them. Have had cell phone service with them. Every time I vow I will *NEVER* use AT&T again. ANd now I won't. As much as I want an iphone, I will NEVER get one as long as i have to have AT&T service.

As far as upgrades, Verizon does a "new every 2" where you can get a free or highly discounted phone upgrade every 2 years. When we got our LG Dares in December, we upgraded from olllld phones we had for about 3 years and got a sweet discount on top of the rebate and discounts already applied to the phone.

I've been very happy with Verizon. I highly reccommend them to anyone who's looking.
