ATTICA, MI — Verizon Wireless has activated a new cell site in Attica, which enables more customers to use their wireless phones concurrently to make calls; send and receive e-mail and text, picture and video messages; access the Internet; view high-quality videos; and download music, games and ringtones, while enjoying clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.

The new cell site, which is equipped with a permanent backup generator for times of emergency, improves voice and data coverage in Attica and to the western edge of Lapeer as well as the following:

  • Along Imlay City Road between County Road 11 and County Road 16; and
  • Between County Road 11 and County Road 16, south to Interstate 69 and north to Vernor Road.

“This new cell site was built to ensure that our customers who travel in Lapeer County can continue relying on their phones,” said Greg Haller, president–Michigan/Indiana/Kentucky Region, Verizon Wireless. “The most advanced device is only as good as the network it runs on. We aggressively invest in our Michigan network to increase coverage and capacity for our customers and continue to elevate the bar in network reliability.”

Verizon Wireless has invested more than $55 billion since it was formed—$5.5 billion on average every year—to increase the coverage and capacity of its premier nationwide network and to add new services. Since the company was formed in 2000, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $1.4 billion on improvements to its wireless network in Michigan.
