MORRISTOWN, N.J. -- Wireless calling, text messaging and surfing the Mobile Web for email and information now are easier and faster for Verizon Wireless customers in Bergen County, thanks to the activation of the company's two new cell sites.

The new Bergen County cell sites improve network coverage and capacity in the following areas:

With the improved network coverage, more customers can use their wireless phones to send and receive email and text, picture and video messages; view high-quality videos; and access turn-by-turn directions, while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.

"Reliable networks aren't built overnight," said Pat Devlin, president of the company's New York/New Jersey Metro Region. "Today's wireless customers demand so much more than voice service, and this network expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to stay ahead of the curve. New and exciting multimedia devices, like the new enV2(TM) by LG for on-the-go texters and music fans equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard, now enable customers to carry PC- functionality in the palms of their hands. We will continue to efficiently invest in network enhancements to deliver the most reliable voice, data and multimedia services available."
