Verizon iPhone? Not anytime soon
I have personally heard many Verizon users be hopeful that the rumors were true that they would soon be able to purchase the iPhone through Verizon. Verizon's CEO put an end to those rumors when he said, "It'll likely arrive one day, but not as soon as we'd like." Verizon is hoping the their LTE or Long Term Evolution network will sway Apple to come to Verizon. According to a recent study, more than half of Verizon subscribers will switch to the iPhone if given the chance. Now that is a lot of people! Also, it has been mentioned that many current iPhone users are tired of AT&Ts poor service and are disappointed that they will not be able to switch to Verizon anytime soon. It will be a bad day for AT&T when Verizon users finally get access to the iPhone. AT&T really does need to do something about their service or should we say lack there of. It is completely ridiculous that on a Saturday night at LSU you can't get a text out, and God forbid a call. They should start the change now so they won't lose all of their iPhone users who only put up with AT&T's service because of the iPhone.

A Verizon iPhone really would be the kiss of death for AT&T. So far, AT&T isn't succeeding in its attempt to reassure users that the network is sufficient. Recently, AT&T stopped offering its "unlimited" data plan to smart phone users. This attempt to limit data usage was in response to annoyance on the part of most AT&T customers.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, this move is completely useless because of one key factor; the 2% of iPhone users that actually use more than 2GB of data are grandfathered into their current plan. This means that as long as these users continue to renew their current contract we will experience no improvement in the terrible service that we currently receive.
