As I sit at battery park city I’m very pleased with Verizon’s service. It has never failed me. I’m usually all Over the city, with 5 to 6 bars of reception. Many tourists in the area were complaining of phone signal issues. I even had to lend my phone to a few people who had to call their families who got lost in NYC, which for me was we a pleasure. They complimented the phone case and the clarity of the call and reception. I also added that I was Verizon’s Digital Ambassador so of course, it was a win-win for me. The tourists are from Spain and it was their first time in the city. They had a prepaid service and literally had no reception (only 1-2 bars). They said they were going to recommend the service to family members here.

Another of my stories is when I was walking the Brooklyn Bridge, a newly married couple who have visited the city on a few occasions needed directions around their way in Dumbo. I first asked what was wrong with their cell service (of course the New Yorker in me) then responded and said the data was very slow. I told them you’re in the middle of a bridge and thousands of people are crossing it as we speak it happens with the other guys. I told them Verizon’s data capabilities speeds are one of the nation’s best, with speeds of download of  79Mbps and uploads of 20Mbps.

On a hot summer day while in at Fire Island, I decided to stream music from my Samsung Edge 7. My Brothers all have different competing networks. Luckily for me, I have the fastest one. We streamed Pandora and took photos while spending the whole day at the beach. But one by one each phone started to drain or overheat. My phone kept up to standards and it’s also IP68 water and Dust Resistance, which is a huge advantage for many reasons. Overall I’m completely satisfied with my Verizon service. I’m proud to be part of their team!
