AT&T Takes Verizon to Task Over Advertising
So they rather waist money attacking Verizon...
AT&T: "More Dropped Calls in More Places..AT&T your calls never delivered"
Verizon: "America's Most Reliable and Dependable 3G network. No Dropped calls to look forward to."
Remember, if you are going overseas verizon will lend you a global phone to use and they have partnerships with well over 100 countries. On top of that, if you buy a global verizon phone (say the new Tour) and contact verizon about traveling abroad they will give you the unlock codes so you can use a prepaid sim card in your phone.
So yes, you'll be able to use the "basic" ATT phone in more countries, but for most international travellers (who carry more than a basic phone anyway) ATT can't really claim the best international roaming anymore.

That really depends on where you are traveling.

Actually, you have to have a quad-band AT&T phone or you won't be able to use your phone outside of...

the "more bars in more places globally" adds still confuse me though.
The roaming agreements arn't really that different (verizon is partially owned by Vodaphone, so that is a boon for people going to europe) but if you are going overseas for an extended time, your best bet is a prepay sim.
Verizon did not work for me, and AT&T is not working for me. I never ever ever should have left T-Mobile.
Then I went to school out in the midwest and my phone turned into a fancy paperweight.
But where it worked it was wonderful.. I even had free roaming in canada, which I thought was flippin sweet at the time.
I'll never hate on Tmobile. They are a great company, and once their coverage improves they'll be really hard to sell against.

To clarify, what do you mean by once T-Mobile USA's "coverage improves"? T-Mobile is not likely to build out its national native footprint appreciably broader than it is now. Such is just the nature of T-Mobile's spectrum licenses & network.

I know they're limited by their licenses, which is sad because they're actually a quality company.
They should just invest money into their towers, back in the days when they were cingular the service was even better than what they have now.
With AT&T my calls dropped at my home all the time, and they we're always quick to say "There is a tower right down the street from you".
I've never dropped over at my house with Verizon.
