A two Phone shared plan is $130 for unlimited everything but calls to landlines, which is 1500 minutes. Add $20 for each additional phone and another $10 for each smartphone. $180 is most a bill with three smarthphone on a shared plan will be. Mine is $160 since two of the three phones on my plan are Nextel flip phones not smartphones. Can one really use 1500 minutes a month to landlines when only 60 hours a week actually count?

Still get coverage anywhere big red does.
They actually are expanding the home sign up area. I really wish they wouldnt. Bigger they get, the more the plans will get like everyone else.
Tell it to sprint. The three phone "Truly Unlimited" plan will quote you $309 every time via the website. This is the comparable plan to what I have. I am sure a lesser plan will be cheaper. I am not interested in comparing apples to oranges though.
Lol, no, coverage is excellent. By far the bast in the region, and on par with verizon anywhere else in the nation. Ive been quite pleased with them.

I was talking about Steve. He only has 1 bar of service at his house.

I get 1-2 bars of service in my house, and guess what? It's really irrelevant with CDMA. I've had many conversations where I've had 1 bar of signal, and have not been dropped or heard garbled audio, or have the person on the other end complain. No one is the wiser that I have 1 or 2 bars not a full 5 or whatever. Not that I really pay attention to that. Actual signal strength numbers are much more meaningful then bars. Right now I’m sitting at a -98 dB but had no problems with a 45 minute phone call I had a while ago. A perfect -65 or whatever wouldn’t yield me any better call quality.
90% of the time with AT&T my iPhone showed No Service, my Verizon Wireless work phone had one bar most of the time, and usually with Nextel iDEN I have one bar as well.
And No it doesn't suck, as it makes no difference for voice 1 bar or 5, it's all the same. For data it has an impact, but I'd rather use my desktop or laptop with my 50Mb broadband rather then a phone or tablet.

It's fine. That would suck. But his 330 dollar a month cable plan probably makes up for it. You could get one of those Micro Cells or Network Extenders.

Why would I need an Airave when I have no problem making or receiving calls at home? You have no idea how CDMA works do you?

Yes I do thank you very much. If you would stop insulting people when they say something bad about one of your favorite companies I can almost guarantee you that no one will "harass" you.

Yes, as an owner of a CDMA phone I know quite a bit about the technology.

Then you would know number of bars really has no bearing on voice. Do I care I get 2 bars max inside my four walls? Not one bit. And your beloved Verizon is no better here either.

I could not get 1X at your cabin though.
Seriously. It was a dead zone for me. LOL

That is odd as I get 3-4 bars of coverage there. It is one reason Ive never ran a cable for internet there. That and it would cost like hell to run a cable that far.
I just wireless tether and get good speed.
Like I said, why would I want to use a cell phone or tablet for data at home when I have a decent home connection feeding two nice desktops and one very nice laptop?

Maybe Verizon dosen't roam on CS.
