LAS VEGAS, NV — Verizon Wireless, the leading wireless company with the most reliable wireless voice and data network, has been recognized for the "Highest Call Quality Performance Among Wireless Cell Phone Users in the West Region," which includes Nevada, in the J.D. Power and Associates 2007 Wireless Call Quality Performance StudySM Volume 2.

The J.D. Power and Associates Wireless Call Quality Performance Study employs a call quality index based on seven criteria that impact overall carrier performance. The wireless phone subscribers surveyed were asked about their experiences with dropped calls, static/interference, failed connection on the first try, voice distortion, echoes, no immediate voice mail notification and no immediate text message notification.

Verizon Wireless also ranked highest elsewhere in the Western U.S., including the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

"This is yet another recognition of Verizon Wireless' ongoing commitment to provide our customers with the best possible wireless experience - the most reliable wireless voice and data network, expansive 3G network, Rev. A enhancements, best devices, best customer service and store distribution," said Tony Heyman, Southwest Region president.

"Our industry-leading customer loyalty is strongly tied to the performance of our network and the results of this survey demonstrates what our tests show – that we offer customers the highest call quality."

The company's 'most reliable wireless network' claim is based on network studies performed by real-life test men and test women who inspired the company's national advertising campaign. The engineers conduct more than 3 million voice call attempts and more than 16 million data tests annually on Verizon Wireless' and other national wireless carriers' networks.

Verizon Wireless has spent more than $260 million in Nevada in the past six years. Nationally, the company invests more than $1 billion every 90 days to stay ahead of the growing demand for Verizon Wireless voice and data services. The company's ongoing network investment now totals more than $40 billion nationally over the past seven years.
