Cell Phones In America: Can You Hear My Cow?

Why does American cell service suck so much, and why don’t we do anything about it?

As a Verizon customer, I can’t wait until next year when Verizon finally offers the iPhone so I can have a piece of crappy overpriced hardware to match my crappy overpriced service. Just what is it with cellular service in America? We pay more than any other country for service that’s so bad that we need a need a wireless bill of rights to defend ourselves. Call service is worse than ever, billing and contracts are insane (even the government is finally saying so ) but sadly, the most effective consumer activism I’ve seen so far has been as a result of New York Times blogger David Pogue’s Take Back the Beep Campaign. So why don’t we as consumers take more action? My theory is that we can’t get anything organized because of the dropped calls. What do you think? Are you happy with your service & pricing? If you weren’t, would you know what to do about it? A couple of resources you might try would be the Consumers Union’s HearUsNow.org or the FCC web site’s directory or direct complaint form. Or if your complaint is specifically about the new iPhone antenna problem, you could try the solution below.
