FORMAN, N.D., Jan. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To continue to stay ahead of rising demand for wireless voice, multimedia and Internet access, Verizon Wireless has expanded its local network in Forman, N.D., by activating a new cell site.

North to 86th Street SE;
South to Havana, N.D.;
East to 143rd Avenue SE;

The new cell site provides increased wireless voice and data service in the Forman area, which empowers more Verizon Wireless customers to rely on their wireless phones for social networking, Internet browsing, downloading apps, exchanging email and text, picture and video messaging, as well as making calls.

"North Dakotans are increasingly relying on smartphones and applications to manage their busy lives and stay connected at home or on-the-go," said Seamus Hyland, president–Great Plains Region, Verizon Wireless.
