How wireless works
Your wireless service is dierent from your home or
business phone service. On a wireless device, you
must press the S
END button to alert the network to
connect your call. Unlike the calls you make on a home
or business phone, wireless commu n
ications travel
over the air and can react to the environment. Rain,
snow, fog, falling leaves, water, mountains, canyons and
even buildings may aect service. All wireless service is
subject to “dead zones,” or no-coverage areas.
Verizon Wireless network technology
Verizon Wireless oers CDMA (Code Division Multiple
Access) digital network technology to most of its
customers. CDMA digital technology oers many
benets compared to analog, such as less static,
enhanced voice clarity, increased privacy and longer
battery life. A CDMA digital phone is necessary
to s
ubscribe to our digital service. Verizon Wireless
only sells digital wireless devices that are E911
compatible and either all-d
igital or tri-mode, which
means you may use analog or CDMA digital services on
dierent frequencies.
