[Magdalen] Wireless servers (was: Junk phone calls)

[Ann Markle]

I know I'm late on this, but it's relevant for anyone who's unhappy with
their cell phone service.

Here's my (limited) experience with cell phone carriers.  I always had
Verizon and loved it; the coverage was best in Crossville, TN.  My friend
had AT&T, and frequently had dropped calls.  I never did.  Crossville was a
little spotty on coverage, because it wasn't near a city with lots of cell
towers, etc.  But Verizon never let me down.  I didn't like the big bill,
though.  When I moved to Buffalo I decided to do a plan with Cheryl, my
friend and housemate.  She did CREDO, a subsidiary of Sprint, and refused
to consider a change to Verizon, even though her coverage wasn't great.  We
both got a free new phone when we added my line to her account.  Coverage
was not good, and when my phone was stolen, they didn't even offer me a bit
of a deal on another one.  So I quit them.  I still had my old Verizon
smartphone, and someone encouraged me to look at the monthly pay-per-month
service.  I currently have Verizon pay-per-month (on an auto-renew, so I
don't have to fuss about it).  I get unlimited talk and text and 1 gig of
data -- which is much more than I ever use, as I mostly do any data-eating
stuff when I have access to wireless, which doesn't count.  I'm perfectly
thrilled with it, and pay $48 per month, including the sales tax.  The
coverage is as good as ever, even out at the trailer, which is where Cheryl
has the most trouble with her reception.  She also has a lot of dropped
calls and messages/texts (even from me) that don't ring, and she only gets
them later.

Just wanted folks to know what works for me, and to recommend it highly.
Verizon.  Month-to-month.
