I got wireless internet and did a big upgrade to a Motorola Droid. I get NO service most of the time in Western Kansas and the Oklahoma panhandle. It was this way with my simpler, less expensive phone and it's still that way with the upgrade. I get fine service in Hutchinson with the phone. With only 3 bars, intenet is slow.

I had been with Alltel for 7 yrs and finally got very fed up with no reception, dropped calls, and static. After many many trips to Alltel trying to get someone to listen to my problem and after upgrading phones and upgrading phones and listening to their line of BULL, I finally went to Verizon Wireless hoping they would be better. The first 2 months was great! Then it began to happen all over again. Dropped calls, poor reception, or NO SERVICE. I have been to their store in Wichita complaining, I've contacted them numerous times by phone calling their customer service, and I am in the same boat that I was in with Alltel. So, I refuse to pay the high phone bills every month get no service in return. What's the use of paying for nights and weekends if you can't use the phone? I absolutely have no service bars. If, I do have 2 bars, I will stand outside in one spot, make the call, and pray that the 2 bars will stay long enough to make the call, but NO, the call doesn't even make it through, it's dropped. It's so exasperating! I'm taking the phone back and cancelling my phone service! So, my point in saying all of this is, don't purchase a phone or plan from Verizon Wireless because this is an extended network and they do not guarantee service out here (we found this out too late). Verizon Wireless uses Alltel towers. Duh! The only difference is that Verizon Wireless will let me return my phone anytime since I'm in the extended network calling area without cancellation charges, unlike Alltel!
