I just switched to Verizon, from T-Mobile. It is my understanding that T-Mobile uses GSM digital and NO analog. I do not live in a megalopolis area (Baltimore/DC) and was constantly out of services areas. Even along major interstates in PA I would lose service...meanwhile while traveling w/my niece and her Verizon phone...she ALWAYS had signals.

Switched to Verizon - and the 7135 - and couldn't be happier. I get signal strength 95% of the time - and it has never gone into analog yet! I have it set to beep when I lose and gain signal...so I am not assuming I have signal all the time. If it loses a signal in the car, and I pick it up out of the drink holder, the signal bounces right back.

Soon I will be purchasing a car mount for it.
