It's a little more complicated than that, but yes, basically with my 700p I am not getting acceptable service. With their LG eNv and Moto Razr, my kids are, for them.
As I said in a subsequent post, I will probably not even need to go that route, though, since I can reduce the plan sufficiently to more than cover the $10/month it "costs" me to be on the family plan for the next year. I may call them just to see how they respond, and if they respond poorly and I get my back up, I may force the issue. Verizon has treated me very well and I regret that their coverage in this area is inadequate for my needs.
