Verizon Wireless Activates Cell Site in Joplin Area JOPLIN, Mo., Aug. 18 /EMWNews/ -- Verizon Wireless, the only major carrier with a 30-day network test-drive pledge that pays for calls if a customer isn't satisfied and switches to another carrier, has activated a new cell site near Waco that expands network coverage and increases capacity, enabling more customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls; send and receive email and text, picture and video messages; and download games and ringtones while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls. This new cell site improves Verizon Wireless' voice and data network in southwestern Missouri, supplying better coverage and capacity in the vicinity of Joplin. Specifically, Verizon Wireless customers will experience better coverage along Highway 171 north from Carl Junction to the cities of Waco and Asbury. Additionally, the improved coverage stretches from Northeast 118th Street east to County Road 270. "This network enhancement reflects our ongoing commitment to meet the growing needs of our customers and to provide them with the reliable, high quality service they expect from Verizon Wireless," said Lou Sigillo, president-Kansas/Missouri Region, Verizon Wireless. Reliable service is fundamental to customer loyalty, and Verizon Wireless boasts the highest customer loyalty in the industry, as measured by the company's low percent of customer turnover. "The value we offer our customers is closely tied to our industry-leading customer retention," Sigillo said. "Wireless consumers today understand that value is not defined by price alone. A major reason our customers choose Verizon Wireless and stay with us is because we offer the nation's most reliable network." This new cell site is part of Verizon Wireless' continual effort to expand coverage, increase capacity and enhance the quality of its wireless voice and data network in Missouri and throughout the country. Verizon Wireless has invested $44 billion since it was formed -- $5.5 billion on average every year -- to increase the coverage and capacity of its national network and to add new services. More than $26 million has been spent in Missouri in the first half of 2008.
