Other: occasional issues of no data connection during phone calls. I use Waze all the time when I'm driving, and notice occasionally that the data connection (to report traffic incidents, or reroute for example) is not available while I'm on a call.

Would you mind telling us your general location?

I had read about this, but they have many machine devices using CDMA. Not sure how they will handle this if they do away with it.

Have you ever dropped a call do to falling back to 3G or 1x?

15 minute north of the city.

Edit: The City = Manhattan

This is the perfect situation, and one I have considered. I don't think I can pay full price right now. It is on the table though... I'm going to really consider this option :)

Yes, they're 2 incompatible networks. But, like I mentioned, I haven't seen 3G in a long time. Most places I go to have LTE signal.

VZW also have LTE flip phones for those who are still using older CDMA phones that don't want smartphones.

I commute mostly between NYC and Paramus,NJ.

You're in my neck of the woods :) Thanks for sharing.

I have my mom on my plan, and she is using a flip phone. Smartphone is out of the question :)

I live in the same Metro area as you OP. Any carrier will always have dead spots, but from my experience driving around from Port Jervis in NY, to New Haven in CT and down South NJ to Atlantic City, VZW has better coverage.

I'd suggest to get a prepaid VZW sim and try it.
