Bad service with Verizon? I got them in July and have had 0 service problems. I have been to Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Indiani, Illinoise, Arkansas, Mississippi, just all over with my phone is some BFE locations and had excellent serice. I always had these 2 other guys with me, one has Nextel, the other Sprint, and where they would frequently have no service at all, I had full, I am very pleased with Verizon.
