Re: Verizon getting the iphone
Yeah January 2011 right? So is that a big deal for you guys? is Horizon a better network? I guess it will ease some of the traffic on ATT. The iPhone in the UK is available in the UK by 7 providers now (O2, Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile, Virgin, Tesco and 3). Guess we are spoilt for choice now, shame the tariffs are not so good now that the unlimited data is gone.

Re: Verizon getting the iphone
Hi Donna and Kimberly, As far as I know, there still isn't an official announcement. What people are going by is the Bloomberg report that Verizon Wireless Said to Start Offering iPhone in January. Everyone declined to be named, and the Verizon Wireless spokesman, Apple, etc. all declined to comment.

It's a shame Sprint isn't in the picture. We have unlimited data, and I have an HTC Touch Pro I really dispise. I dropped it recently and it has a nasty crack on the side.

Sprint is easily the most customer-oriented of the U.S. carriers. Yes, I suspect they would.

Re: Verizon getting the iphone
Well I have been saying for a long time that VZW would eventually get the iPhone and so far it has not happen. So, I won't say it will not happen, but let's see if January 2011 is finally the year of the iPhone for VZW. I hope it happens and that does not mean I'd leave ATT, but both carriers will have to work to keep or gain customers. On Jun 30, 2010, at 12:18 PM, Chris Moore wrote: Yeah January 2011 right?

Re: Verizon getting the iphone
I don't think that it'll be an issue which who keeps and who gains. it's pretty much cut and dry who will get what. AT and T sucks, sucky 3g coverage, and sucky call quality, and everyone I know has been dreaming vzw will get the iPhone, so that being said, we all can pretty much assume everyone from AT and T will be leaving and swarming to Verizon.

Re: Verizon getting the iphone
And, if (I say if, because we've seen this rumor now in one form or anothr for a couple years) Verizon does get the iPhone, count on their network being over capacity, just like ATT's. They have better coverage *now*, maybe, they have better bandwidth, *now*, maybe, but if things had gone differently and Verizon were the exclusive iPhone carrier back at the beginning, I'd be willing to wager the results would be the same as they are now, only with a different carrier name. True that the iPhone spread over several carriers will be better for everyone and will spread out the data usage somewhat, but don't be surprised if we start seeing the same complaints about Verizon's network capacity as we do now about ATT's. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY On Jun 30, 2010, at 12:51 PM, Donna Goodin wrote: Count me in for the party Donna On Jun 30, 2010, at 12:21 PM, Cody Hurst wrote: um, yeah vzw has a 10 times better 3g coverage not to mention awesome call quality. i'm sick and tired of having dropped calls. so I cant' wait lets all throw a party.

As icky as ATT is, and as customer service oriented as ATT isn't, I have to say I've never had a problem with dropped calls or bad call quality; certainly no worse than anyone else's I've dealt with. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY On Jun 30, 2010, at 1:22 PM, Cody Hurst wrote: I don't think that it'll be an issue which who keeps and who gains. it's pretty much cut and dry who will get what.

So, I won't say it will not happen, but let's see if January 2011 is finally the year of the iPhone for VZW. I hope it happens and that does not mean I'd leave ATT, but both carriers will have to work to keep or gain customers. On Jun 30, 2010, at 12:18 PM, Chris Moore wrote: Yeah January 2011 right?

Re: Verizon getting the iphone
Perhaps. But ATT also has *horrible customer service. And VZ's coverage is better as well. Also for me there's an added incentive in that my husband is on VZ, so we'd save some $$ being on the same network.

Re: Verizon getting the iphone
Now that is funny, I have great coverage with ATT and even coverage in parts of the subway system here. Of course I have been places where VZW's coverage has not been very good at all. So, it all boils down to where the carrier has focused its efforts in providing coverage. Now let's not forget that perhaps ATT does not have the same level of coverage, but VZW is very clever that trying to screw customers into signing contracts without sharing certain information. They actually tried screwing me when I terminated my service. So, all carriers have their good and bad points. What I will be more concerned about is if VZW will limit the data plan or if they will be smart and find a balance between unlimited and 2Gb. And for the record, I am not a fan of ATT and in fact, I'm not a fan of any carrier, I am only a fan of the level of service I get for what I pay.

Re: Verizon getting the iphone
I have to concur with your comments Buddy. VZW brags now, but let's see what the iPhone would do to their network. If they are smart, they will have learned a few lessons, but I wouldn't bet on that either. Like most carriers, they see dollar signs and do as little as possible to earn as many dollars as possible. I of course don't fault them since they are in the business to make money.

Re: Verizon getting the iphone
Honestly I can say that I have not had any problems with ATT's customer service. They follow up with surveys and seem interested in trying to improve where necessary. Then again, I also had no problems with VZW's customer service, but Sprint? Well now that is an entirely different story and T-Mobile was not much better. Sometimes I think it is the people you encounter that can make the difference.

Re: Verizon getting the iphone

Also for me there's an added incentive in that my husband is on VZ, so we'd save some $$ being on the same network.

They have better coverage *now*, maybe, they have better bandwidth, *now*, maybe, but if things had gone differently and Verizon were the exclusive iPhone carrier back at the beginning, I'd be willing to wager the results would be the same as they are now, only with a different carrier name. True that the iPhone spread over several carriers will be better for everyone and will spread out the data usage somewhat, but don't be surprised if we start seeing the same complaints about Verizon's network capacity as we do now about ATT's. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY On Jun 30, 2010, at 12:51 PM, Donna Goodin wrote: Count me in for the party Donna On Jun 30, 2010, at 12:21 PM, Cody Hurst wrote: um, yeah vzw has a 10 times better 3g coverage not to mention awesome call quality. i'm sick and tired of having dropped calls. so I cant' wait lets all throw a party.
