Verizon's help in making their claim they are nationwide.

I know they're partnered up with Verizon here in the Northeast. Because of them, we now have digital coverage for the first time in Franklin County, MA and southern VT.

LOL, not really.

If you haven't travelled the entire US, you probably wouldn't know this. But Verizon claims they are nationwide. So does ATT.

They just use other lesser known service providers to help them to claim nationwide service. Only Sprint has a license to do wireless business in all 50 states. Only Sprint....and that's a fact.

US Cellular is a Verizon pawn.
