Sounds like my experience here. Had 2 other brands and now have Verizon....which sometimes requires going out to the Lanai to keep working. However, when having NO SERVICE when fishing in the Sebastian Fl.area, I asked a few full time fishermen how they could always use their phones...and .. mine was spotty at best down there. They said ..." it is simple, you leave the name brand carriers in your home...and use the $30.00 cellphone from Wal-Mart along with the pay as you go Net10 at 10 cents a minute". Well, I went to Wal-mart and did just that...Voila'......no more problems... Works up to nine miles out to sea ( after nine miles you are past the horizon) ...... and ...it also works ALL over our Villages. Needless to say, I always carry my Net10 phone..and ___sometimes____ carry the Verizon phone, also. Found out from the crusty old fishermen..( yup__ they are ALMOST as old as I ).....that Net10 uses everybody's cell towers ..and simply pays whoever OWNS the cell tower about three cents per minute of use. You are never very far from somebody's cell tower. I love it ...am never without cell service no matter where my wanderings occur.
