I had the problem that Verizon and all other providers work very poorly in
my home and I usually miss calls. I called Verizon and they said that it may
be years before a new tower is erected. A friend came over with his Sprint
phone and I told him that it would not work. Boy was I wrong!!! He got five
bars everywhere in the house. It turns out the Sprint has a cell site in my
neighborhood. I have now converted to Sprint. You need to purchase the
service that works for you. If it does not work in your home and everyone
uses your cell phone to contact you, then you need to purchase the service
that works best in your home and in the areas that you travel.
