We have had a Verizon contract for the past two years, and the service up at the Lake (end of Moultonboro Neck) has been good. But, being recently retired, we are looking for a way to cut our cell phone bill, since we don't use them all that much.

I went to a Verizon store and they suggested one of their prepaid plans (I think they have two of them), BUT...here's the rub...their prepaid phones don't use the same network as their regular contract phones, so the coverage isn't exactly the same! In fact, their coverage map shows that the prepaid phones won't work where we live, a fact verified by the Verizon rep in their store.

Don't know the technical reason for this, but it's definitely something to be aware of. Which brings me back to a question asked earlier in this thread, but never answered: does anyone know of a prepaid vendor with good service around the north side of the Lake??
