There are some phone carriers that say &quot;We use the same network infrastructure as Verizon&quot;<br />
But they are a competitor of verizon. &nbsp;I have heard this sales line from <u>several</u> vendors. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Are these competitors lying? &nbsp;Or do they have access to Verizon's infrastructure? &nbsp;Or is there a single infrastructure which numerous carriers use?

I've been reading ads saying that cell phone carrier &quot;XYZ&quot; uses the same wireless network infrastructure as the &quot;better brand&quot; &nbsp;<br />
1. &nbsp;Is this true? &nbsp;It doesn't have the ring of truth to it. &nbsp;<br />
2. &nbsp;I'd also like some opinion if Verizon really is the best carrier... or have they been slouching off lately.<br />
3. any other comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

3G? 4G networks? Verizon?  Which carrier to choose?

A cellular phone (also known as a mobile phone, cell phone, hand phone, or simply a phone) is a telephone that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. Mobile phones that offer services such as text messaging, email, Internet access, business applications, gaming, photography and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.
