verizon cell phone service in live oak, florida area.

I am having a lot of problems with Verizon's service. I had Alltel before Verizon bought them out and I had no problems with Alltel. I could call from the mountains of Tennessee to Live Oak no problems, could call Miami Florida and had no problems, and I could call Phoenix,Arizona with no problems. Today with Verizon I cannot call some one down my street with out breaking up or dropped calls.

I called Verizon over and over only to hear them say I will have to buy a Verizon phone before my problems will go away. Hey, before Verizon took over I just bought a new(from Alltel) Motorola Razer VE20. This is a very good phone with the new up dates yet Verizon says I will have to buy one of their phones. This is a bunch of B.S.!!

On TV Verizon shows they are the BEST cell service going. They show all the people behind you and tell you they have no dead zones. Yea, Right! Just more B.S.!! When I make a call no ones behind me and I get dropped calls, break ups in mid conversations. I understand where the saying,"Can you hear me now came from". Verizon's piss poor cell phone service.

Now the saying is,"VERIZON SUCKS". That is when some one can hear you on their phone.

At no time did I receive any thing from Verizon telling me I had to get a new Verizon phone. That is, until they put their service in on the towers. Now it comes all Alltel people have to get a Verizon phone? I DON'T THINK SO!!!! I DID NOT MAKE THE PROBLEM VERIZON DID......DIG!!

Any one else having problems with Verizon in the Live Oak, Florida area???

Verizon didn't cause your "problems" Alltel did by selling out. Bottom line, if you don't like Verizon service change cell phone companies.

If you change companies you may find the service even worse in the Live Oak area. I tried one of those highly advertized JitterBug phones.It was exactly what I wanted in a phone - simple, easy to dial because the keys were large & did not touch one another, clear large display - perfect in every way except one. I could dial far off places and the calls would go through but if I tried to call anyone in the northern half of Florida or south Georgia, it would connect to a wrong number not even remotely similar to the one I had dialed, sometimes not even in the same area code. I could not even call my home number or the cell phones of other family members from my cell phone.
After many calls to customer service with details of the problem and listening to their promises to fix it, which they did not, I returned the phone within the first 30 days but never received the full refund they promised to send me. They shorted me over $30.
Perfect phone for my needs but useless, a sad situation. Neither Verizon, nor any other company, offers a phone anything like it.

One of the problems with "Jitterbug" is they use the Sprint Network, they don't have their own. Recognize that Sprint customers are going to get priority on the system, if there is limit system in an area your Post tells what happens to Jitterbug.

I guess this is now the American way. If one company is giving you bad serivce don't expect them to improve it just go to another company and hope for the best? American Pride has indeed gone into the toilet.

I'm getting ready to file a lawsuit against Verizon for failing to honor my Alltel contract terms. They refuse to honor my blackberry free data service. My Alltel bills were $141 a month. My lowest verizon bill has been $1200 they claim blackberry plan (the same on one they charge $44.99 a month for) doesnt include data like texts and pics. Well I got it for free with Alltel and never got charged for texts or pics on any of my bills. Verizon has lied about service off the tower near my house, the prl's numbers for the tower, the real aquisition dates, and bottom line they want you to switch to their plan, buy a new phone with them and charge you on average about $75 more a month for a two line family plan. Im sick of the lies its been 5 onths worth of them. The local store manager in Live Oak, John, refuses to give the office telephone number to his district Manager in Jacksonville, says all the Alltel customers here in Live Oak are very happy with the "better" service and plans and that he never has complaints. lol funny everytime I go in to chew his ass some more he asks me to hold my voice down so the other alltel customers in there to complain dont get worked up and don't learn that they do not have to pay the early termination fee with alltel or verizon per their contract because of the terms of the buyout, you ARE NOT a verizon customer if you have a contract with Alltel. Contract is null and void.
