I have a love/hate relationship with Verizon: I love the reception but hate the steep prices. 
Fortunately, the company offers free calling between Verizon Wireless customers. To keep my bill as low as possible, I do the bulk of my calling after 9pm and on weekends. I’ve pressured my friends and family members to switch their service, and I only date women who are on Verizon (like I need any limits on my dating pool).
My newest Verizon love/hate predicament involves the Motorola V3c. I love its conveniently slim shape but hate that Verizon has removed the Motorola user interface and loaded its own (Verizon is putting its own interface on every phone it sells now).
If you’re interested in getting back the Motorola UI (with lots more features, more Bluetooth profiles, faster responses, and no ugly Verizon red bars) check out this tutorial.
