SBC vs Verizon

For those of you who keep harping on Cingualrs losses, do some homework........

SBC is a healthy holding company (despite Cingular Wireless) and can and will support Cingular though any storm...in fact if you care to look at the stock price this year Verizon is down 15% from Dec where SBC is only down 5%


and that is the REAL market talking....Can you hear me now?

The execs are certainly burning the midnoight oil over there at VErizon....they have no SBC to bail them out should they start slipping.....Vodaphone?

GREAT. I'm glad you feel the need to do the "my company's penis is bigger that your company's penis!" fight.



UGH.

If this is about Verizon then go to a Verizon forum and not the Verizon Wireless forum. I have a friend working in sales at SBC and things aren't as great as you think.

You really are a complete idiot, aren't you? You are just looking for every excuse to bash VZW. If you had any type of understanding of the stock market at all, you would realize that this kind of thing happens every day.

Get a life.

I am a Cingular/at&t cust care rep, and Id like to state that I think this whole thing is stupid. This whole forum makes me embarrassed to be a cingular rep. This is more directed to the cingular reps. Do you see the verizon people leaving stupid statistic forums on our side? No, i dont. Lets all mature, we are 2 competing companies, which is fine, theres always going to be competition, but what do you really get out of downing Verizon? Nobody cares, and sorry to say, but I bet Verizon cust care beats Cingular (Im still just at&t). I know when I try to call Cingular care, I get reps that are rude and hang up and dont want to help. How do you keep the cust's on the line with that attitude. Lets just stop the retardedness and grow up, and talk...

Really! Although we do encounter the occasional rude rep from every company, they tend to be more prominent from cingular.

it's not that cingular as a whole is bad, but they aren't the best OR the worst..everyone chill.

What we all need to do is stop responding to kingfrog's posts. Its fun to get a rise out of people sometimes. But it appears that kingfrog gets off by inciting arguements. Every time we respond with an equal amount of hostility, he wins. So let's do ourselves a favor and stop responding, it will really piss him off. 😁

Has anyone else notice that what ribbit posted is irrelevant to Verizon WIRELESS?

I'm going to repeat what big mac said. Please stop posting to any of kingfrogs threads, he has issues he needs to work out first before trying to be social

What about this email I received in January:

SBC, parent company of Cingular and landline competitor to Verizon Communications, signed a two-year national agreement with Verizon Wireless-Southern California Region.The account includes 800 lines with the potential for many additional lines. SBC selected us because of our superior voice network coverage and the demonstrated success of BroadbandAccess and Blackberry devices to increase employee productivity in the field.

WOW! That line just exudes absolute arrogance. That almost makes me want to hurl. But, I doubt that was what the e-mail actually said. SBC would never actually come out and say that if it were the reasoning, and Verizon can't just assume that either.

I will say that SBC did sign a two-year agreement for 800 lines of Verizon service though. However, the ACTUAL reasons were this.

1. SBC's market does not lie entirely within Cingular's market. As both markets overlap in many places, some ...

What you are saying is quite common. Qwest had their engineers using ATTWS and Sprint.
No one wireless carrier covers all the markets that the parent wireline carrier does.

Like I said before, you would have to be an absolute idiot to think that Verizon hasn't done the same, for the same reasons.

Therefore, you sir, are an idiot.

Did you miss all the commotion or something? A wireless carrier's coverage map doesn't always match their wireline map. Therefore they may have to use another carrier's service. Are we going too fast for you?

You keep replying with responses full of issues that have already been discussed.

I've already said:

Other---companies---do---not---exude---the--- arrogance---of---Verizon.---They---do---not-- -feel---the---need---to---send---ridiculous-- -and---useless---announcements---out---to---a ll---of---their---employees.---They---do---no t---brag---falsely.

Anyway, I don't recall you being the one who had that "information". I may be mistaken, but if it wasn't you, then how do you KNOW that information is true?

You are still an idiot. I'm sure many others would agree.

P.S. I hope I went slow enough for you up there.^^
