businesses not using verizon????
just a thought here. i read in a lot of different posts here and there that businesses dont choose vzw due to price. recently in that huge i mean super huge thread (3 threads) about the whole price thing. please stay dead by the way. thats not the first i heard that though i have seen it many times before. the thing is.... does anybody post what companies and government agencies use? to be honest i see more business and government accounts with vzw. more than i could even think of. of all the ones i have seen who is left? i am speaking government wise there. so i dont get where people get their information? just making it up or what?
...
🤣 hey I was just thinking they pay 1500 for a light bulb whats a couple hundred for one line of service to them!
...
Over 90% of businesses and government agencies still use Sprint Nextel. Yes, price has a lot to do wih it. This is according to their own advertising, which, has never been disputed by their competitors. Why do businesses like them? Free incoming calls. Something, along with everything else, Verizon does not offer.
You may personally know a lot of businesses using Verizon (and many use Cingular), but nationwide, SN has them locked up. Another reason is Verizon cannot provide a secure network because they still have a lot of analog coverage, and analog cellular conversations can easily be eavesdropped on. Something you can't afford if you're trying to have a private conversation and discuss matters of national security.
As for my postin...

How do you know it's 90% using SN? I wanna read the article you read that info from to see if it's accredited.
...
I'd be more than willing to wager that the 90% falls under the "45% of all statistics are made up on the spot" category 🤣
...
LOL. So true. Maybe at one time it was near that...but since Sprint together with Nextel (a.k.a together with net LOSS of customers)is purging post paid customers like crazy...maybe all these "business" accounts are switching over to VZW (seeing as they have the most gains quarter after quarter after quarter)
...
As far as the business accounts switching over to VZW, I think that's exactly what's going to happen. Granted, this is only one relatively small area of the country, but last month alone, I ported over 2 school districts, a small university, and a county police department. That was over 100 lines right there. If the rest of the country follows suit, S/N will be done in the matter of a few years. Oh, and God help S/N if the other carriers start advertising their government programs. With the 3 government affiliates that I ported over last month, they were in relative shock when I told them about government discounts. It was like they were told that S/N were the only ones that did that. 😳 🤨 👀
...
its actually 43% of all stats are made up on the spot, but yes someone else knows that other than me. Score.

Per their own ads. Although, as others have pointed out, they're now losing a lot of these same customers, due to Sprint announcing the proposed shutdown of IDEN in the near future.
...
The company I work for, which is a pretty good size company with its headquarters in Houston, and facilities in the US, Canada, Scotland, Dubai, Norway, and Singapore to name a few, uses Verizon for its lower employees if the employee wants the discount, other than that everyone else uses Cingluar and T-Mobile. Cingular is more for the travelers, and some of the sales associates use T-Mobile for a good price on minutes. Also with these carriers they can use SIM cards which is really handy in my opinion. Also the GSM phones allow them to go over to say Scotland, and make phone calls back to the states.
...
do the employees communicate with each other? If they did I would assume they would go with one service for the mobile to mobile.
...
dont question schlittertex he is living in a fantasy world where everything makes sense only to him
the lower end employees get verizon and did you know when you use a GSM that it works in Scotland 😳

guess schitterix isnt aware VZW is owned by partially by vodaphone. And offer individuals as well as businesses global phone as well as rental options if needed. Samsung I730 is a pretty popular globalphone. Vodaphone being one of the larger Gsm providers overseas there is little differance in reception just a flip of a switch so to speak to convert to Gsm.
...
Yes I know, vodafone owns 45% of Verizon wireless, but they still go with Cingular for some reason, I don't make the decisions.
...
Yes I do know that a Tri or Quad band GSM phone will work in Scotland...and when I mean lower employees, I mean ones that are below middle management.
And I am just stating what goes on here, not cheering for any carrier here, I have lowly T-mobile lol, which works just fine for me.

with the dollar amount they are willing to spend at this place, I don't think saving money on mobile to mobile is an issue. They will spend 300 bucks to ship out an item that is worth 100, just as an example.
...
There making it up. Though im not going to name the companies it seems like every other day there is a new email about how our b2b department signed a new deal. But then again this forum is pretty useless when it comes to reliable informtion. To many people touting there opinion as fact.
...
If a smart business is truly concerned about reliability they are going to look at verizon despite high prices. My company which is the #2 Management company of Assisted living facilities is partnered with Cingular. Cingular offeres very nice business and personal deals for phones and service.
But, even with all those deals a lot of people choose Verizon as our other option even though they don't offer the perks. Verizon is just reliable and unless something catastrophic happens I will probably never leave Verizon.

just wondering if jrfdsf...hope thats right... works for sprint? how would you have any idea who uses sprint? i know for a fact not just a ficticious percentage about gov accounts using vzw not sprint. everything from highest level nationally to local police, does anyone else cover crawford texas? no. vzw put broadband there for a reason. so not quite sure where you are getting your information but i would like to see where the info is coming from so they can be corrected.
...
I know where he got it, a couple years ago Sprint played a commercial stating that 95% of fortune 500 companies used Sprint. That is a very broad comment, those same fortune 500 companies could also be using Verizon. Commercials are bogus, obviously...but I still love them as a marketing major. IF you can convince people to believe something then you've done your job.
...
oh yeah i remember that. you're right that was a long time ago though. if it was still true that would be their biggest commercial now wouldnt it? instead of some changing night time calling with a time machine that works about as good as their service does? 🤣
...
True true. I used to work at Sprint, didn't mind them much but a true test of wireless loyalty is whether you bring your family to their service...My family stayed with Verizon and I am back with Verizon.
