That makes me wonder. I know that Verizon is the only ones who have Bueys out in the ocean for Seamen(lol). And Eastern NC isnt really Verizon. So do they have coverage off of our coast?

I sense sarcasm, no company has coverage out at sea...yes you might have coverage around the shore from signal coming from inland towers but not that far out...yeah and eastern NC is not verizon wireless service we work in cooperation with another company in the area to make sure the customers do not get charged for roaming though...you are correct though in that area MTM would not apply calls would go to peak or offpeak depending on what timeframe you are in...

hey i live in NC and have Verizon and it works every and its way better then cingular cuz i had cingular and i had a lot of died spots. and i know cuz i travel around NC cuz my family lives everywhere and then i got everywhere with my band and it really great cuz my phone is the only one to work sometimes. and i live in the boondocks and i hve service all the time so i dont know what everyones is talking about

How long ago did you have Cingular, and were you TDMA or GSM? These things matter when comparing service.

shhh phonepimp...you are getting sleepy, you are getting sleepy...now you love VZW...When I count to three you will awake and not remember any of this...1....2.....3...so as I was saying VZW is awesome...don't you agree phonepimp?

Hey buddy. You really need to learn how to use some Periods in your sentences, You sound like a 3rd grader. Have you ever heard of a run-on sentence. I am from the Boonies too, but i still remembered to take and English class every now and then. Verizon does get good coverage. i never doubted that. the only time i know that it really was better was when i was at the Rock for a race, and The CDMA's larger call volume paid off because it took me a few times to get my Cingular to go threw. But the Cingular Coverage really works just as well. THe only blank area i know is Down 87 to Wilmington, and NO-ONE gets coverage down 87. But i do know that Cingular is putting towers up there, and it is getting better.

Yeah, they work with Alltel. but i swear i heard one of you Verizon guys say that Verizon has bueys in the water for the high traffic shipping and fishing lanes. I guess that was just a bold faced lie.

knowing this forum it was probably sarcasm...sorry you mistook it as fact... 😁

Ah, thats alright. Most of you guys are pretty good about telling the truth. But, I do go fishing an awful lot, and i am on a boat enjoying some leisure time about every two weeks. and Verizon does get good coverage off the coast. I have heard Fisherman say that " Verizon Rules the Water way" but who knows, i get good coverage too.

probably just signal coming out from inland towers...no bouy towers that I'm aware of...

I don't know...I've never been able to get a signal off of ANY network out around the coast. I like to vacation in Outer Banx and god forbid anyone should try and call me while I'm there.

Yeah, But that is the outer banks, I really doubt anyone will ever invest in putting towers in that long stretch. its just not profitable.

Thats kinda funny you talk about the Outer Banks...My buddies dad is chief of police in Kill Devil Hills

sweet, I'll remember that. Last time I was there my cousin damn near got arrested for being drunk out at Avalon fishing pier.

That is another thing you got to love about NC. lol 😁

just ask for the chief of police and say you know Chad

😁 sweet

Its an Awesome place. Got to Love NC. you have beautiful mountains, awesome beaches. and everything in between. What a great state, everyone should come and visit.

I'm with ya there...I'm VERY glad I moved here...now if I can just secure a job so I can stay here.

Now that i think about it. How in the H*ll could you get a tower on a Buey? god, i suprise myself sometimes.

It's okay, it's friday...at least thats my excuse
