I work at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen, Maryland as a Computer
technician. I have Verizon Wireless and have an LG 10 phone. In this
location, I miss more calls than I receive and usually show no service
and almost always roam. In my job, I must have cellular service that
works since that is how I am dispatched.

The Government telephones are on Cingular wireless and they seem to work
though not terrible well but still much better than mine does.

I have been bact to Verizon many times and they have replaced my phone
twice with no improvement in service. I am certain that the telephone
is using the proper towers. Verizon now offeres me absolutely no
solution to my problem and frankly does not seem to care (even the
President was contacted. Their answer is to boast about there system &
towers and my answer back is that it does not work for me - I am paying
almost $40/month for something that I cannot use.

In despiration, I had Verizon remove my LG 10 from their system and
reconnet my 6 year old Qualcom 860 which preforms slightly better than
the LG10 did. Verizon claims that there is no difference in cell phones.

This seems strange to me since Cingular uses their towers. their phones
work but mine sucks.

Does anyone have any advice for me?
