Well, I made a comment in the Photography Group about buying a new smart phone since Verizon, my carrier, is switching data plans and, of course, things will get more expensive if I wait to buy a new phone. I need to do this before the 28th. It started lots of comments, some of which may be of more general interest.

There are days when I think I'll go back to a dumb phone that only does what a phone is supposed to do. But I do sometimes use the camera. I do use my phones GPS and occasionally I look something up. I do not</ strong> text. If I want to communicate I call and speak to the person or leave a message. How quaint.

I will copy others my and others comments as replies and maybe we'll have more of a discussion.

UPDATE: I Love my Samsung Galaxy S3. SUPER SMART!

Thanks so much Diana. That is what I was thinking and why I was confused. Maybe these folks were just trying to peddle a contract?

Diana, I hope this ends up in the right place.

The stores where I was told the info about the towers were:

Best Buy on Rand Rd in Arlington Heights, IL

Radio Shack in Wheeling, IL

The Verizon Store on Rand Rd in Arlington Hts, IL

Go get them Karen.

Well as I noted I pre-ordered a phone from Verizon today. I asked the saleswoman about what you were told Karen. She told me that was what thesales people were told. That there is different coverage for non contract phones and that in some areas the reception is not as good! She said they were told sometimes different towers are used. WTD? Anyway, FYI Diana, this was a Verizon store on Route 17 S in Paramus, NJ.

My hubby is still out of town but I know someone who is in the wireless part of the company.  I will e-mail him tomorrow and ask him about this.  I will let you know when I hear back.  

Thanks, Diana.

F, I am so glad you heard the same thing, so at least now we all know I'm not crazy. Well, not about this, anyway.

I certainly believed you even before this. But it is still unbelievable : )

Karen, I never doubted that you were told what you said.  Whenever I go into the store I always ask questions and see what kind of answers I get.  Until the salesperson figures out who I am I sometimes get unbelievable answers or rudeness, sometimes I get great service and much help.  Once they figure out who I am then I get the "royal" treatment.  So I want to try to make sure that everyone gets good customer service.  I have a vested interest in keeping people happy with Verizon!!

Here is a coverage map and I think it looks the same for prepaid or not.

Yes, Chicago is solid on both maps, so I guess I'm okay for now. Thanks, F.

Can you tell this is all a foreign language to me. I am not embracing technology.
