Good to hear, I would have to switch from our local telephone coop to Verizon, but I have been having so many issues with my service the last couple of years and my wife, who has Verizon has not, plus it is about 1/3 less a month. How long does it stay charged for, that is one th.ing I did hear is it goes low pretty quick? I know you can get the optional battery magnet which charges in a short time
