Hmmm... considering I live in a total dead zone let's see if the big V will part with one of these for free (at least monthly). I'm sure they would love to stop getting my calls from my landline phone about the dead zone.

Quit thinking you are entitled to shit, you arent entitled to anything man, not VZW's fault you moved into a dead zone and didnt do the research before buying the services.

The D Train: Don't be such a dick! Number one, expecting someone to research cell coverage at a place they're moving to is a little much. There's no fucking way I'm gonna give up a house that has everything I want just because I don't get cell coverage. Second, there is something called a contract. The way it works is: first you give them money, then they provide you with service. If they are unable to hold up their end of the deal, the costumer is entitled to some kind of resolution monetary or otherwise, So take a Midol, have some hot tea and calm the fuck down.

Even worse if you lived there and used the service for the 30days and kept it when it wasnt working.

The companies are not to blame for bad consumer purchasing behaviours, if your house is awesome and you love it but your cell service isnt working at your house, or you buy service and doesnt work when you get home, find out who does have the service there, dont blame the people you bought a phone with but didnt research wether or not it works where you are, not their fault, not their problem, you signed the dotted line, and ultimately agreed that they and in fact most celular companies do not guarantee service indoors.

IMO owned son, you may get out of the contract due to your whining to CSR's but it isnt deserved so again I have to say, your self entitlement, is unwarranted and disgusting.

Sorry, @Valicore, but VZW doesn't have to pay you shit if they don't deliver great service on their end of the contract. That's actually in the fine print (if you read the contracts when you sign up for service). @Brad, I agree that it would be nice if cell companies would actually say that you won't get service in an area where they claim you will. @The D Train, dude, calm the fuck down. Maybe he did do research and it turned out they said he would get service in his area. They don't exactly go for exact coverage when they make those maps. I have AT&T. I love their service, but I still do get frustrated when I don't get service in places that they promise I will. That happens with any service. Geographic limitations are a bitch. It would be nice if they could work out bugs like that, but unfortunately they haven't. Maybe they'll work that out a bit when they start rolling out services on the 700 MhZ spectrum.

To brad you should try and contact verizon and let them know about the problem. I have sprint in my area is very good but inside my house i get 1-3 bars sometimes all full but is not consistent. After i go outside the house is perfect, here inside my house att and tmobile are far worst and the one i found to be good inside the house was Verizon.

Ok so i have been with sprint for 6+ years never had a problem with them and before i used to get good coverage inside the house and not no more (don't know why) i contacted sprint to ask them if i could get the monlthy service for free and I would pay for the airave if not that was ok i would just cancel my whole account pay the etf ($600 for 3 phones) and go to verizon.

Next day i received an email that i would get a free airave and free montlhy service to improve signal and if i wanted unlimited minutes for my whole account it would be $20 if not i would just have the free montly service to improve my signal. I should be expecting my airave by tuesday.
