Verizon Mobile Phone Service in Seattle/Tacoma/Everett

Pros: none
Cons: Bad product, bad service, booby traps to force you to extend your contract

The first thing one needs to understand about Verizon is that customer service is a kind of stepchild that receives cursory attention only in lulls between sales pitches. The second thing is that the cell phones they offer free are crap. The third ...

Pros: Keeps you connected with your family.
Cons: Keeps you connected with your family.

THE FAMILY PLAN and HOW IT WORKS The Verizon family plan works like all the major carriers plans ~~ you have two or more phones in one family that can call each other for free. Some plans have unlimited free calling and others have a ...

Pros: Ads and offices everywhere, friendly employees
Cons: Poor coverage north of Seattle, poor policies, poor customer service.

I'm writing this review so that others don't have the misfortunes that I did. I'm amazed at the numb ...

Pros: Works fine in Seattle.
Cons: No service on parts of Bainbridge Island or Poulsbo. TERRIBLE, ARROGANT, USELESS customer service.

I recently moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Bainbridge Island. At my home in SF, Verizon often dropped calls. It has always worked best on long distance calls for me.
At my home on Bainbridge Island, a suburb of Seattle, I get no reception...

Pros: Coverage
Cons: Sketchy customer service

I've had Verizon service since moving to Seattle in August '02, and their coverage is very reasonable if you have a good phone. I haven't gone off their digital network anywhere in the city -- although I've yet to find any carrier that covers Capitol ...

Pros: Great people
Cons: Poor coverage, crippled phones.

I find the people at Verizon to a joy to work with. However their system is so pathetic that I will be forced to switch to a new provider as soon as my commitment expires. I have had up to a dozen phones with Verizon all the way back to the ...

Pros: Good range, great plan
Cons: Not so great customer service

I decided to get a cell phone because I travel a lot and figured it would be a good to have in an emergency. Plus I make a lot of long distance calls which get expensive.

Living on Camano Island, coverage is pretty scarce. I decided to go...

Pros: Great tower coverage
Cons: Liars as salesman

My house of 3 switched to Verizon in the winter of 2003 because of tech problems with our previous provider. We shopped around and ended up at the kiosk for Verizon. Overall things started out ok. The worse thing at first was that since we were ...

Pros: Lots of features at a great price.
Cons: Confusing (aren't all wireless plans?), poor customer service.

Pros: Great coverage, ease of ordering service, great deal on phones
Cons: It drops calls in some areas of my house.

First of all, Verizon was one of the only providers who would give me 2 lines of service without a deposit, so that made me extremely happy. I decided to go with their service though because they seem to have the most extensive coverage throughout the US...

Pros: Good coverage, great customer service, good rates
Cons: Voice quality can be a bit burbly at times

Let me first say the my cell phone is an Audiovox CDM-4500 (a dual mode phone) and I most frequently use it within the Seattle/Bellevue area to make local calls, so I'm not commenting on the long range quality or long distance charges for Verizon, merely...

Pros: Good coverage, good price, few dropped calls.
Cons: No two way messaging yet.

Great coverage with a dual band phone. Their $10 Motorola phone is the deal of the century for simplicity and function. Unlike one of the other folks, I have had a good experience with customer service.

I started using Verizon after dumping...

Pros: Wide service area; good service plans; friendly, helpful customer service
Cons: Local coverage isn't perfect; occasional glitches with MobileWeb service

Rather than droning on and on about all of the virtues of Verizon Wireless's service, maybe this anecdote will give you an idea:

My girlfriend used to work for Verizon. She now works for a competing carrier. That carrier gives their...

Pros: Great Coverage, Nice plans
Cons: Bad billing, lack of phone choices

am a manager for a cell phone store in the Washington area. Currently we sell AT&T, Verizon, VoiceStream, Nextel and Quest, so I have experience with all these carriers.
I recently decided to get myself a phone and picked Verizon as my choice,...

Pros: Large coverage area
Cons: none really

I finally had to break down and get a cell phone. I travel a lot to the Washington and Oregon Coast alone, and thought it would be handy if my car ever broke down (not that it ever will though..knock knock knock.). I looked at all the wireless...
