Network
A mobile phone is only as good as the network it's on. Verizon Wireless' handsets run on
the company's award-winning network to ensure that customers receive the coverage quality that they expect. Verizon Wireless
has invested $37 billion in the last seven years to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add
new services. Part of the company's commitment to offer customers the most reliable service available includes providing
wireless services, such as picture messaging, text messaging, BroadbandAccess high-speed Internet, and the company's exclusive
V CAST services. While some carriers may boast that their handsets are sleek, investigating the type of network the phone
runs on is crucial before purchasing any device.
Other Value-Added Services
Verizon Wireless also adds
a number of other value-added services for customers. That's why Verizon Wireless has led the wireless industry with the
lowest customer churn (turnover) rate for ten consecutive quarters. Verizon Wireless invests heavily in a number of customer
retention programs including:
- New Every Two(R): Customers are automatically enrolled
in Verizon
Wireless' New Every Two program when they sign up for a two-year
agreement on a calling plan with a monthly access of $34.99 or higher.
If they maintain service on a calling plan of $34.99 or higher and
fulfill their
two-year term, they will qualify for a free phone, up to
$100 in value, with a two-year
renewal. Customers must retain the same
wireless handset for 24 months in
order to receive the full advantages
of this program.
- Test Drive: Most recently, Verizon Wireless became the only major
carrier with
a 30-day network Test Drive pledge that pays for calls if
customers aren't satisfied
and switch to another carrier. Now, wireless
consumers get to be their own test
man or woman by "taking the Verizon
Wireless network for a spin" to experience
the Verizon Wireless network
on their own. If at any point during the 30-day Test
Drive customers
are not satisfied with their experience and take their number to
another wireless carrier, Verizon Wireless will refund their money for
their voice calls, equipment, activation fee and taxes, as well as
release them
from their contract without an early termination fee when
they return their phones
within the Test Drive period.
