Agreed. Verizon is leaps and bounds ahead of ATT. If you have a good product you will have a loyal customer base, it's how it works. You have a shoddy product then you have to spend $$$ on advertising and have no customer loyalty.


Verizon, do it right the first time. (No I dont work there)

Other than the end of the new every two program & early upgrades, I agree.

Im so glad I have verizon and not ATT anymore.
Really? Well I am either in SF or Phoenix so I always have good coverage and speeds are way better than Verizon. 3G speed for the iPhones I know is twice as fast on AT&Ts network. I'd only be on Verizon if I was in the middle of America in the middle of no where.
Really I can't complain, and with this T-Mobile merger I think we can only expect better things to come.

Yep such leaps and bounds that they are switching all towered over to work with sim cards so when customers travel to japan the phone can work. Sprint and verizon are the only ones not still using sims and quad band phones

wasnt there that test that showed tmo had fastest data rates from smart phones and verizon did with one of those tethering modems.

Japan has a completely different network than anything we will ever run
