CNBC reports predict VZW customers port out for Pre

PeterGriffin

May 30, 2009, 10:31 AM
CNBC reported on TV on one of their talk shows that it's expected that numerous VZW and AT&T customers will be porting to Sprint with the release of the Palm Pre. They also reported that the Pre will be one of the biggest releases in the industry right up their with the release of the iPhone and iPhone 3G. It's expected that lines will form at Sprint stores hours before the stores open. Reporter stated that wireless customers do not want to wait until 2nd quarter of 2010 to get this phone on other networks and that Sprint has the best value to backup this phone's features. Also it was reported that Sprint will be getting a 2nd version of the Pre or simply a newer webOS phone around the holiday season. They stated that Palm and Sprint are not...

Before anything drop the verizon-aide and chill out. And what are you talking about check verizons coverage in soCal and see who depends on who in that region.. not to mention in homestead florida nextel has the best service.. So you need to stop your bs statements. And palm doesn't have a limit, what they have is a inability to meet the demands right away. And your a complete idiot if you think sprint wont add a million new customers with this new device your a fool, even verizon sold 2 millions storms and it was won of the worst openings for a phone ever, there was over a 35% return rate for the phone and the OS would crash more often than a test dummy.

All the Verizon customers do. They are popular because of how good their marketing is. It's all about perception. The general public doesn't know that a person with a Sprint phone doesn't drop calls just like a person with a Verizon phone doesn't drop calls, but because they see Verizon everywhere they turn their heads they figure that's what's the best.

I have used all carriers in SoCal, (Verizon Wireless back in 2001, Nextel 2001-2008, AT&T 2002-current, Sprint 2008-Current).

I would try Verizon Wireless again, but I had such a horrible experience with their store in Northridge and Porter Ranch (almost ended in lawsuit over VZW losing my cancellation and attempting to keep billing me/collections for device returned to corp store), that I'd never go back. 👿

Nextel - works decently in SoCal
AT&T - works well NOW(was horrible when 3G was turned up initially)
Sprint - good coverage, poor quality audio (even compared to Nextel). Treo 800w landlines tell me I'm breaking up all the time, and have no issues once I switch to either Skype (laptop) or AT&T HTC Tilt.

I don't disagree with you that Verizon has a grade A network. I've been all over the eastern half of the U.S. (Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, the Carolina's, Florida, and D.C.) and half never had a problem with my Sprint phone. So my experience shows me that Sprint seems to work well for me. I think the reason people leave Sprint is not because of the network, but more the fact that every month when they get their bill in the mail it's different. About six months ago I was getting 2 different bills in the mail with different amounts on them every month. I didn't bother me all that much, but I can see where the average customer would be frusterated with that.

Why wouldn't that bother u??? I know if I were to get 2 bills in the mail every month with 2 diff amounts I would raise some hell! Bad billing practices and the worst customer service on the planet is why so many ppl leave Sprint. I will admit that their customer service has improved a little but they have a long way to go. Btw which bill did you pay every month or did u have to call cust service every month to get the correct amt due???

I just didn't pay any attention to the bills I got in the mail and learned to just go online and pay whatever it says I owe them every month. It was frusterating at first, but I figured out how to handle. I can see where the general public would find that frusterated though.

Nice try Peter,

While you always have people port from carriers to get certain phones, you won't see thousands leaving better service and customer care from Verizon just to get the Palm Pre from Sprint. Sprint is number 1 in the industry for LOSING customers. I doubt the Pre is going to make them actually drain customers from the number 1 carrier in America. Most people realize that this "best value", which really means cheapest price, is only because Sprint hemmorages customers, and because they have an industry worst, customer service. The only people who will run from another carrier to Sprint, are people who just want a cheaper price, and are willing to sacrifice network quality and customer service to do get it. The Palm Pre, wh...

The Palm Pre, while being a possibly great device, will not have the mass appeal of the Iphone,

and not even the Iphone put the dent in Verizon's customer base as so-called experts predicted.


I agree on the first statement, but disagree on the second one. Even though you may not notice the "dent" looking at the big picture. AT&T is getting the majority of data hungry, smartphone users from verizon. You don't feel the dent, but we are as your customers are straining our network. But that's ok. AT&T has already made plans for more capacity. I'm not trying to make this post all about AT&T, but think about it. Your regular Blackberry user uses it for email, GPS, and some browsing on the web.

"AT&T is getting the majority of data hungry, smartphone users from verizon."

That's a nice little imagination that you have there. If this were the case, ATT would at least have as many post paid customers as Verizon before the Alltel acquisition. However, facts show, that even after ATT became Cingular, and then ATT again, and up til this point, Verizon still had more post-paid customers than ATT. Now these are facts that are well known in the industry. Show me some facts that show that ATT is getting the "majority of data hungry, smartphone users from verizon".

it's 2009 and it's not so much about the number of post-paid users on the network. That was the aim back in the era of voice and text messages. It's all about users of high end devices using data features. Those are the ones at&t has been striving for since around Nov of last year. Notice how much different the line up is from last year? I think (and you can't deny) that we are doing a hell of a job getting those users. Are we having 3G capacity issues? yes, and it has been addressed. Did they expect this rouge wave of smartphone users to strain the network the way it is today? no, but as a 3G user I can tell you that it's not as bad as they want it to look. We're in no way Sprint. Not even close! I honestly can't wait until the whole 3G ove...

"it's 2009 and it's not so much about the number of post-paid users on the network. "

It will always be about the number of post-paid customers because they are the largest part of the customer base and definitely bring in more revenue to the company. And as far as ATT, I have denied or anything about what you are talking about. I am actually also an ATT customer, and the point of my original post wasn't even a knock at ATT, but rather a knock at the suggestion that the Palm Pre from Sprint is going to put a significant dent in the Verizon customer base.

Here are some more facts for you....even with those things you claim above.....Verizon still has and had more total "post-paid" customers than ATT. Verizon has and had more 3G coverage than ATT, Verizon has and had lower churn, higher customer loyalty than ATT, and Verizon has consistently ranked higher than ATT in Voice quality and customer service....even before Verizon purchased Alltel. See, we all have some facts to post. But, after it's all said and done, none of the ones that you posted compares to the fact the ATT loses more customers than Verizon every quarter, and has less post-paid customers than Verizon. Even after ATT bought cingular, and vice versa, and they came out with the Iphone and Iphone 3G, verizon still ha...

you make it sound like at&t's churn was in the 2% levels like Tmobile or Sprint. Our churn has decreased more than any other carrier. It's not yet at VZ level, but it's getting there. We finally broke under 1%. Before our merger with att wireless (i can't remember exactly) but I think we were in the 1.
7% churn rate. If you look at it today is less than 1%. If you want to go by the numbers, I think this will say or mean something to you. Oh, the whole award thing. Who cares? The numbers always triumph over perception or word of mouth.

You are correct, I was just stating the factors that are more important imo. And those factors are churn/customer loyalty, customer base, new activations, and revenue. And even if by a small margin, VZW usually always wins in those categories, and that says a lot. However, the awards by JD Powers and Consumer Digest, among others actually means a lot, because it shows you some of the reasons why a carrier performs better than another, and it explains the stats. See VZW is noted as the best in network quality and either number 1 or 2 consistently in customer service, hence they have the number 1 lowest churn rate, despite being tied with the most expensive carrier in the U.S, and not offering roll over minutes, or the largest phone select...

I beg to differ and say to the general public perception is everything. Why are customers jumping ship to Verizon no matter what carrier they are on and why is their churn so low? Because they have an amazing marketing team. It's probably the best marketing team/best run company I've ever seen. That speaks to the consumers more than anything. Do I have Verizon? No, I don't because I'm not the general public, but I wouldn't complain a bit if I did.

AT&T will never be as good as Verizon. It will NEVER get there. When we get out 4G out, you will see Verizon gain tons of AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile customers who use data for work.

And awards do mean something, because it shows people that you are someting and not a load of crap like AT&T is right now. That's why we add more customers each Q then AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile.

Verizon and At&t are both spectrum capped in the 4G game. LTE does have it's advantages (being the global standard) but Wimax has NO spectrum issues. Unlimited bandwith on the 2100 mhz spectrum. You know nothing VZW611LA. All you do is spew Verizon is great and everyone sucks bull$hit. It gets really old.

The ONLY and I will repeat ONLY reason Verizon adds customers is because of the dork on TV and the marketing campaign. All of it, even the poll results, are because of PERCEPTION, which is far from reality.

You know sometimes its worth paying a little more for quality service. Like I said its your money your decision. Do what works for you. I get a really gd employee discount with VZW so I'm happy.

Who uses or cares about palm anymore?

I know it is probably going to be nice, but I have 0 interest in it...I am way more excited to see the new iphone and storm coming out.

I just doubt there are that many people all excited and counting the days till they get to stand in front of a Sprint store to get a Palm.

I have been with Verizon for 4 years and I have to say I am sick of them. I have 3 phones with them, A Blackberry storm for me, a basic one for mom, and a 3rd thats shutoff atm. My bill is right at $175+ a month.

I left them for several reasons, 1st at Sprint I can get X3 more stuff for 20.00 less at Sprint. 2nd the pre monkey stomped the Storm in the ground. I hated the storm and I have been a long time crackberry fan. Ive never had sooo many issues with a blackberry. Verizon dropped the ball on the storm. Sad too see it. I loved Verizon but for what I am paying for and frankly Verizon customer service at our district store and over the phone have screwed me over more than once.
