I travel every week for work usually between upstate NY where I live and Boston but do go other places, mostly in the northeast. I had Verizon coverage for many years and while I had it, every evening while away from home my call home would get dropped at least once using my Verizon phone. I have had an iPhone for almost a year now and have yet to have a dropped call when I call home be it from Boston, Rhode Island, DC or Georgia. I have had a few dropped calls to NYC when talking to my daughter (she has an iPhone too) but for the most part I have no complaints. If Verizon were to get the iPhone I would not be included to go back.
