Verizon Wireless activates two new cell sites
TERRE HAUTE — Verizon Wireless has activated two new cell sites in Terre Haute, enabling 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 receiving clearer reception and fewer dropped calls.
The new cell sites, each of which is equipped with a permanent backup generator for emergencies, improve voice and data coverage on the east side of Terre Haute and in Riley, as well as along the following major roads:
• Indiana 46 between U.S. 40 and South Clingerman Street;
• Interstate 70 between Fruitridge Avenue and Frye Street;
• Indiana 159 between Indiana 46 and East Dallas Road.
Verizon Wireless has invested more than $50 billion since it was formed to increase the coverage and capacity of its nationwide network and to add new services. Since 2000, Verizon Wireless has invested more than $1 billion on improvements to its wireless network in Indiana. For more information, visit www.verizonwireless.com.
