My mobile phone network coverage allows me to make a call wherever I want, and the call is never cut off by the network. Independent surveys show that it has the best signal quality with excellent call clarity. The network covers 99 percent of the population, and it has installed more transmitters than any other digital network company. They guarantee that they work the best; in fact, they will even add a free minute of talk time if the call is ever lost. International and off-peak calls are the cheapest in the area. The company has been voted number 1 in customer satisfaction for 5 years in a row. 2- You can order local, regional or national mobile phone network coverage. Long distance and roaming fees are charged by most carriers, but if you can find a local or regional plan you can save a lot of money. Coverage charges can add up quickly so estimate the number of minutes you will need. If you exceed the allotted minutes, the provider will let you upgrade to more minutes. The minutes will be used on both incoming and outgoing calls. Most carriers have coverage maps on their websites. A prepaid cell phone eliminates the need to be locked into a contract. 3- There is no mobile phone network coverage in a dead zone. These are both indoor and outdoor problem locations where a signal is not available. Calls are often dropped in certain buildings, homes and outdoor locations across the nation. It is very frustrating when you experience no coverage from your home, office or car due to inconsistent service. Cell phones need towers and antennas for calls to go through. More cell phone towers will have to be built to eliminate the gaps in coverage. Cities that host the towers will benefit from the additional revenue the towers gener... ... middle of paper ... ...ut I never know if I am in the correct area. Supposedly if I am outside the area I see a roaming indicator on the phone which just may be the letter 'R’. When I see the 'R', any calls will be charged at the roaming rate unless my plan has no roaming minutes. If that is the case I can not make or receive any calls. 10- Most networks have coverage checker so I can check the mobile phone coverage in my area. All I have to do is enter the postal code to see the coverage I can expect. I can get information on the regular 2G coverage for calls and texts as well as 3G coverage. It is also a good idea to ask people in the area if they find the signal strength adequate. The mobile signal strength depends on the provider and where you are. If you want to upgrade to browse the internet or download music videos, you need to make sure there is a strong 3G signal in the area.
Verizon Wireless cellular service is inelastic because the products and services it offers makes them the dominant leader in the wireless industry; therefore, a 10% change in calling plan prices (monthly access fees) would not affect the quantity demanded. Verizon Wireless can depend on this inelasticity in their pricing model because of the strength of its brand and the wealth of products and services it offers. Verizon Wireless' competitive advantage comes from its ultra-low churn rate (the percentage of customers who disconnect their service is less than one percent of its 60 million customer base). This indicator suggests that customers are satisfied with the service Verizon Wireless offers and a slight price increase probably would not drive its customers to the competition. This data also suggests that customers probably stay with Verizon Wireless because of its continued expansion of new technologies and services such as its all-digital nationwide CDMA network, EVDO' or its advanced data network (used to wireless send and receive email and other data almost anywhere in the US), and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) that they use for their Push to Talk products. Verizon Wireless markets to a nearly all demographics nationwide and most of its services are offered in the smaller rural markets as a direct result of the one billion dollars per quarter it spends on improving its network as well as acquiring smaller wireless networks to make their nationwide network stronger and larger.

In a world that is rapidly becoming faster paced, finding various means to keep up with the changing environment is a must. Cell phones are one of the most practical inventions of time that make this possible. However, the subtle effect they have on our culture today, their invasion of our privacy, and the possible health risks they may cause are reasons to reassess the value of this intriguing device. While cell phones may be valuable, they are also potentially harmful.
Often they overcharge for data or force the customers to prove they are deaf. The companies should aim to fix these problems and be more helpful to a community that physically will not use a calling

Entire social rules of interaction were completely changed. Now you could be reached at anytime. It seemed like having a cell phone guaranteed some level of privacy from others around you. But what about your own privacy? With the technology revolution that has been taking place there seems to be no focus on personal relationships.

By June 1989, the number had exploded to 2.7 million subscribers, and by June 1995 there were mire than 26 million subscribers. When cell phones were first introduce, only people with a lot of money had them and the service was very expensive. It was a lot cheaper to stop and use the pay phone than it was to use a cell phone. Now, it is almost as cheap to use a cell phone to make a long distance call as it is to make a long distance call using AT&T.
