I had MANY more problems with dropped calls and audio dropouts during a call than I have with AT&T or T-Mobile. It really seems that the number of cell sites does matter and, in the Reno/Sparks area at least, Verizon really does not compete well in call reliability considering that they have the fewest cell sites of all carriers in this area. Considering their excellent reputation, I am sure that the result is different in other areas.

They use CDMA technology which can carry a phone call on multiple cell sites at a time, so they could get away with having less cell sites and more coverage. GSM starts having problems over 30 miles as I recall - but that's not something that would differentiate urban area coverage. Verizon also operates at 850Mhz.

Yet, Verizon has the fewest cell cites. but, has great coverage. Verizon has not added any cell cites in the entire time I have been viewing this website. I also read that CDMA stretches further than GSM? Is that true? If AT&T operates at 850mhz, What does Verizon operate at? Yet, Verizon has the fewest cell cites. but, has great coverage.
