can anyone who had verizon before PP comment on coverage in more remote areas? I looked at the verizon maps and PP maps, although PP claims that they have "verizon" coverage, i believe that is a bit of a misnomer. from what i could understand, there is verizon network coverage which is the same, but in more remote areas you aren't actually on verizon's network. you are in the "extended digital coverage" area, but Verizon customers aren't charged roaming. On Page Plus these same regions are listed as roaming. (The specific area I'm talking about is Cumberland, MD). Roaming on PP is something like 29 cents/min. So I don't think it's true to say that you get "Verizon coverage" with PP.
At least that is my understanding of it, and why i haven't switched. If someone can confirm the opposite, I'd like to hear! I'm speaking of only voice and messaging, I don't care about 4g.
