What makes AT&T better than Verizon?
I am at the end of my contract with Verizon. Should I switch to AT$T?
Thanks.
Thanks.
...
I guess it depends on your situation..are you mixing it with whisky or rum?
...
I think that you should switch to at&t for several reasons.
1. at&t has the largest coverage in America.
2. You can use at&t service overseas
3. the latest Technology
4. Great customer service
5. Great Phones.
and several other reasons but look at their coverage map to see how well the service is in your area http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/

I dont mean to troll but, that is not correct ^^ its old tech revamped and still not on par with EVDO/REV A and will have no chance against WIMAX

HSDPA is already deployed and is faster than Rev A. WiMax is a technology of the future and probably always will be.
...
hsdpa has not seen the speeds of EVDO yet. But is capable of faster speeds then EVDO.

what good is technology if you can't even hear the other person well and they keep dropping calls. AT&T s ad should say, we keep dropping calls all the time, we are the worst call quality and worst plans.

I don't understand where all this "dropping calls" comes from. I have been on GSM since the beginning in Nevada, CA,NJ and now SC.
I rarely had calls dropped even driving across the country a few times. I think there are weaker coverage areas but its not as bad as many make it appear by a long margin. Especially in todays day and age.

1: Altell and Sprint both claim this. I would take ATTs marketing or this guys claim with a gigantic grain of salt
2: VZW also offers over seas coverage(albeit much more limited than ATT) if its that important to you and vzw offers a dual mode phone (CDMA/GSM)

att does not have the largest coverage. They claim its the largest GSM network and they are correct. But not the largest coverage. Sprint is by poupulation and alltel by miles.
You can use all overseas with the right phone or a rented one.
GSM is not latest technoligy. WCDMA is and will replace GSM in the future.
Great CS they and spritn are the worse.
Phones not sure.
GSM to me is liek talking in a tin can. Sucks I stick with CDMA phones.

That is the truest sound of wireless pal. It sounds like a "tin can" to you because you are used to the over-filtered sound of CDMA.
...
lmao yeah ok its not the truest sound in wireless. AMPS was thank you for your lack of knowledge and proving it. And no one can say sprint with 1900 only does not have the best sound. I have had them and all the others and they sound like you are talking on a reg wired phone. Verizon also were they have 1900. GSM sounds garbled to me and I am not the only one.
...
Ok wombough bud GSM is the world standerd the USA is at least 2 to 3 years behind the rest of the world and if the world is all using GSM then here in the near future componys like VZW and Sprint will be at the limits of the cdma tech GSM is the future so why not choose At&t we have the largest mobile to mobile network of any compony and on top of that with the At&t Unity plan you can make and recieve phone calls to ALL AT&T PHONES thats Mobile,Landline phones that over 100 million people plus the customer service well at least in my stores is excellent beside wouldnt you rather be with a compony that can offer you one bill for 4 services not many componys can even offer that but then again that my opunion and that of over 62 million people ...

GSM is the world standard because it is cheap to deploy, and that the phones that are made for GSM are cheap and does not have a lot of functionality on the devices. CDMA is starting to gain traction slowly but is still behind GSM. CDMA offers to a different demographic that wants functionality with their phones and would pay a higher price point. GSM is starting to evolve into UMTS/HSPA so the devices are becoming more expensive and have a lot more functionality than before. GSM and CDMA both have limits but if you look CDMA in some standards and revisions are a little bit better than GSM. CDMA also has better capacity than GSM. Regardless of those two standards, which are 2G, there are coming out with technologies like LTE, WIMAX, HSPA, an...

well like I said i would work for eather of these componys i work for att and i love it the only other compony i would work for is vzw all the other componys to me are crap but thats my own opunion
...
Always good. Just that I wanted to provide the facts of GSM and CDMA and what they are planning to do next. Like WIMAX, HSPA, and LTE or UMB. Many companies worldwide would go to some 4G technology and soon get rid of their CDMA or GSM technologies. Of course, it will not be for some time but eventually it should happen.
...
yeah right it is the world standard. Not because its better. And CDMA is now in more than 100 countries and with over 200 providers they are getting bigger by the day. GSM carriers are going quickly to WCDMA as their is no data route with GSM that is fast. Unlike CDMA has EVDO. And another reason that GSM is so big is CDMA was at one time illegal to deploy in Europe.

Actually, you'll be roaming with at&t roaming partners...not at&t service at all. The same with VZW capabale handsets (or rented ones)...there is no US carrier (nor any carrier for that matter) that provides 100% of service outside their native networks...
...
I've had them all, Verizon for the most amount of time and AT&T currently. Bottom line for me right now is I hate Verizon's phones and UI's, they handicap the F out of you and it sucks. Rocking the iphone right now and it is "very nice"
...
Yeah. I like to be able to use Bluetooth the way that it's supposed to be used. That's one thing good about at&t.
...
I too am thinking it is time to dump Verizon mostly because of the crappy phone selection. How is At&t in the Chicago area? Any info would be helpful.
...
Ive been there with it and had no issues. But your experience may be different. Best thing to do is just try it out.
...
I have Verizon now. Want to switch real bad because of the phones. Can anyone vouch for the network in the South Florida region (Stuart, Port St Lucie, West Palm Beach, Vero area ?)
...
yeah, i am down in those areas quite a bit. at&t has been great for me and my whole family. family meaning 20+ people with no complaints.
...
I used to travel that area a lot (all of I95 from Miami to Jacksonville) I had great reception all over I95.
...
I have At&t and i am in st louis and I went up there for a Cards @ Cubs game and I got excellant range theres only 1 spot on the way up there it didnt work and that was for only like 5 min so there bud😁

Nothing to everyone.
You need to be more specific. Verizon is a great company in many areas of the country. AT&T is a great company in many areas of the country.
Where are you?
What do you need?
Is rollover good for you, unity?
Data needs?
You need to be more specific or look at your area specifically.

texaswireless said it best. We do not know you and your needs so we cannot see which carrier is for you. Expand more.

Stay with verizon man...I currently have both. I have a blackberry that is paid for by work on att and a treo 650 that I use for personal use on vzw.
Att voice quality is terrible and you will notice the difference when you switch.
Their customer service is atrocious compared to the great employees on vzw's customer care lines (and yes, I have called and used both)
Unless you travel overseas a lot...the world phone capabilities are pointless and verizon does have a world phone you can buy if you need it.
Besides a couple of high end smart phones, their phone selection is no better than vzw...and vzw has a lot of phones in the pipeline for Q4

All the complaing about how verizon is SO much better, I love it how people get upset when someone is thinking about leaving. Hey if it works better for you then have at it. But For a wireless company to cirple phones and have the SAME ol boring menu and worry about static when they stray to far from the tower. I hear it all the time here in Branson, Mo. They go to Alltel then shortly come back complaining about them to, you just can't make them all happy.
- But hey we must be doing something right on AT&T to have the MOST customers!

Count me as one going to At&t from Verizon soon as my contract ends becuase the smartphone selection at Verizon sucks!

Sure phones do help for sure but CS and reception are a bigger part of it. Look how ATT has had to stop using the fewest dropped calls add. GO FIGURE
THAT WAS A HUGE LIE!.
THAT WAS A HUGE LIE!.

Wow..it's amazing to read comments by people who haven't done their research. Maybe if you would dig a little deeper, you would find out a few FACTS.
Fact: AT&T is over the 99% mark in dropped calls (meaning less than 1% of calls are dropped). The reason they stopped the ads, because the other carriers are finally catching up to our numbers.
Fact: At&t has more cell cites than anyone else 45,000.
Fact: international coverage has voice calling in 190 countries and data roaming in nearly 140.
As far as largest network..every carrier seems to claim theirs is larger (i.e. Alltel..right).
Fact: At&t does have the largest customer base..over 63 million wireless. Tack in the landline base and now you're over 100million.

yeah smartphones are an extremely small percentage of the market. Most people still just want the free phone.
We are all phone junkies on this site, so the smart phones are popular. But we are far from representative of the norm

Well with the At&t Tilt on the roll out along with the iphone and the new R.I.M devices and throw the new phones we have coming down the pipe I beleve not only will we retain the #1 spot we will gain a bigger lead haha but we can all agree at least its not Sprint service hahaha
...
I will take sprint any day over att. Hell I will take metroPCS over att! And verizon has plenty coming down the pipe. Along with every other carrier in time for the holidays!
...
I would use Sprint’s data services over AT&T’s anyway. In fact I do. I tested AT&T’s and their data speeds were not good, especially against Sprints.
...
One thing you must consider. Both companies have a good lineup. But, the fact of the matter is, the best phones are made for gsm providers, aka the N95, sony k850, and one of the most innocative phone yet (grudingly) the iphone. But verizon is cdma which is by far, better than gsm. I know in my area (Youngstown msa in pa and ohio) verizon is better than att or dobson(who i work for). I can sit in my basement with gsm service and not have any service while a buddy of mine, who has verizon, has full bars sitting in the same place.
...
I agree with you on the cool phones. Most companies put way more time into their gsm division and for good reason.
I guess I just value voice quality. And cdma def has better voice quality.
Chris

I can't begin to understand why or how they make decisions on phones. But gsm vs cdma has nothing to do with it! As I have said Japan has no shortage of phones and they are the only provider on FOMA.
...
yes it does have something to do with it. Manufacturers can get much more out a gsm phone vs a cdma.
There is def a reason.
There is def a reason.
...
The reason they have it for GSM more than CDMA has to deal with the fact that typically the GSM devices are cheaper in price points than the CDMA ones. Moreover, there are obviously more customers on the GSM line than CDMA. That is probably the only reason because if they wanted to they could have made devices for equally for each of the networks. Just the only difference is GSM is more out there than CDMA.
...
Is my point about japan missing everyone???? Japan is the only country on FOMA. And they have new phones comeing out every month! ANd from US manufactors also along with others! So that thery would be proved worng since no other country has the network Japan does. That is what I am saying that everyone is missing!
...
I agree with your point about Japan (NTT Doco) and FOMA. They had FOMA out prior to actually some United States country launching their 3G network.

Japan is a special case. The country IS high-tech, and home to many of the biggest names in electronics. They are also (in per capita terms, and in absolute terms) a larger market for just about any kind of electronics than the United States. Cell phones actually manage to outnumber people there.
Whereas in the US market has a much higher ratio of technoconservative to technosa...

Why are people so confused with this new LTE situation? I asked Rich if he could address that and he said he will so perhaps, it would help those members who continue to be confused.

It is easy to understand I just do not understand why people are still confused. Rich mentioned it, I mentioned it, and you mentioned it. As well as others.

Yes GSM will go away.... eventually....But LTE will allow handoffs to existing UMTS/GSM networks
VZW is EvDo RevA now.. and if they were staying on their current road map they would be migrating to RevC or UMB which would support handoffs to their existing networks.. But they aren't are they. They are going to LTE instead. That was my point.

...
they are making chips that works on both cdma and WCDMA so you can use both networks on one phone. So when they do migrate you will be able to have a phone that can do both!
...
For your information, LTE is a GSM affiliation but has nothing to do with GSM but it has everything to do with its existing infrastructure and OFDM/A and MIMO. Why are people continuing to be confused about this? CDMA will not go away.
GSM offers cheap phones in price points and functionality than CDMA and that is why GSM is more popular than CDMA. Another reason has to deal with that GSM is very in expensive.

More customer complaints...

I'm an AT&T rep and I just have to say that the worst thing in the world is when a customer waits around and calls Insurance/Warranty in the store. We do not do the exchanges in the store. The people on the phone do not want to talk to us. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go home and call so it's not all awkward while we sit in silence as you make your claim. I can't stress that enough. Do any other reps get customers insisting that they call here in the store even though this has nothing to do with us?
Here is the perfect reason not to switch to ATT they don't want to help you. Perfect post from your Forum. Right out of the reps mouth.

Really? Wow! your store reps can do insurance AND warranty claims?
*****Runs to the VZW store*******

*****Runs to the VZW store*******

Yes I have been with VZW for years and I have had warranty claims taken care in the store. ansd yes I even just got done with a warranty claim on an 8703BB no problems. VZW wants there customers happy and do provide good service. Now for some people VZW will give you poor service if you are a worthless customer who doesn't pay on time and causes there own problems with there phones. Dropping them and abuse.
...
And your point? Warranty can be done in a COR store as well. Just not in Agent locations
...
The reason customers have to call from the store is that they got rid of their landlines. Well.....if you can't be on your cell phone then where are they going to call from. Where is our customer service? More importantly, where is our customer satisfaction? Let's go above the call! 🙂 We can do it!

AT&T does not have the largest coverage in america. At&t simply has the most customers in America. Sprint followed by Verizon have the largest coverage area. Verizon will have a faster network if you plan on internet/data services/watching football on your cell phone cause watching bulky men grapple each other in tight clothes just isn't enough on your 60 inch plasma.

verizon does not have the fastest data and you can not stream on Verizon. So watching tv is out!

and yes the only thing att has the largest in is customers and GSM network. He is correct that sprint followed by verizon have the largest network.

Once analog is shut down, spring and vzw will no longer have the largest network

I find this post humorous considering a few things. First of all Verizon Wireless announced they will be using LTE for their 4G networks (the same technology AT&T's president is looking at). Also the fact that Verizon Wireless and Verizon Communications (Landline, DSL, and FIOS) can all be combined in the same OneBill, and the fact that how can 60 millions people be wrong? Besides the fact that Verizon Wireless has added more customer's the past two quarters, and the fact that AT&T had to drop their "Fewest dropped calls" because independent studies showed Verizon Wireless did. Sadly Chad, you are very misinformed on your competition and thus your post are irrelevant.
...
one other thing who cares that you can call 60 million people for free. How many people do you actually know? And then how many of those do you actually talk to allot. Like Alltel says its not about 60 million you don't know its about the 10 you do know and talk to!
I am not saying alltel is the best just saying they put it very good. I know about 50 but only really talk to about 5 or so that would make any dent in my minutes.

Verizon did what?? I'm assuming that you're going to say they had the fewest drop calls. Maybe you should should be more "informed". AT&T didn't have more dropped calls...Verizon finally caught up. Now is that a bad thing for customers? Also, hmm..let's see, AT&T has landlines, dsl, and satellite service too..oh, and btw, they can all be combined on the same bill as well...doh!

You can restrict who they can get calls from and who they can call on CDMA and its not new been like that for years!

Yes I hear of GPS locater's in anything however how many pairs of shoes do kids have they take them off. No teenager puts their phone down now a days.
all carriers do. Its in the settings menu and you can lock the the phone to just 3 emergency numbers you choose they can call not including 911. You can restrict it to incoming only, outgoing only, or to just numbers in the phonebook. So you pick who you want your kids to call. No its not as con...

The point that's obviously alluding you is that At&t has gone above and beyond the "norm" of what everyone else is doing.
Smart limits goes far beyond what you described above.
Video share may not be the most sought after feature..IT'S ONLY BEEN ON THE MARKET FOR ABOUT A MONTH!! Right now it's on 4 phones, but that will grow in the coming months. The point with that is it's a feature NO-ONE else can offer in the US for a while, plus it's something everyone can use!
I'm not trying to point out the things that all carriers do the same of (as you seem to be doing)..I'm showing what AT&T does that others don't.
Anyways, I'm done arguing this point with you. It's fruitless and pointless.. 😛

verizon have landlines dsl fios long before att did! And they can be combined too with verizon.
I hate to burst your bubble, but at&t has had landlines since Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. At&t dates back before most of us were even born.

Fios also wasn't launched first. Uverse was out in test markets before fios, but fios is in more places currently than Uverse is.

no carrier is going fiber to home including ATT they are going fiber to pole then copper to house. So Verizon is the first to come out and deploy fiber to home!!!

I find this post hilarious for another reason. He never used a period one single time in 11 lines of writing. Wow. Not to mention you can't spell or write. That just gave me a brain freeze to read your nonsense.

what an idiot you are.... that was the most horrible use of the english language i've ever been exposed to...YIKES

I really don't know why people would want to go to a company that uses the GSM technology. And I really don't know why the rest of the world uses GSM. It's really stupid. I really think it's because it's so "cheap". Back when I had GSM, all you ever heard was BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ. Whenever I called a friend or my mom, I needed to hang up and call them on a landline because the buzzing from the GSM phone was so bad!! It's rediculous! Why does GSM do that!? So why would you want a GSM phone!? The voice quality SUCKS! You can't even make a call or hear anyone! And the phone interferes with every single electronic that you're standing next to!! You can just be sitting next to a computer or be sitting in your car and you know when your p...

I second that!
This article seems like taken from a vault or something. If GSM/AT&T was that bad, absolutely no-one would choose AT&T. Their quarters would resemble those of -CDMA counterpart- Sprint. Even though I don't deny that once upon a time Cingular's pre-merger network needed a lot of improvement. Today, that's hardly the case.

So you're telling me you've never heard of the "GSM Buzz" that everybody knows about? The buzz that interferes with almost every radio electronic you're in the vacinity with. Seriously, every single one of my relatives that has a GSM phone has the same problem. The phone will make a radio or speaker BUZZ before it's about to ring. And in some phones you can actually hear that buzz in your earpiece. Why would you want that? CDMA phones don't have this problem. You can even look it up if you want. Google it. It's a common issue. It's how GSM transmits voice. CDMA does not do this.

I already know about the buzz. I've never had an issue with it before though. As soon as I get on the phone, I dont run over and sit beside my stereo, turn it on, just so I can hear the buzz. Since you are into Google, why dont you google how many people in the world have/use GSM and how many use CDMA and report back to me with that data. As Anx said, if GSM is so bad, why do so many people have it. As for phones, please dont try and compare CDMA phones to GSM phones. You'll get your pride hurt. Just check out the 3 different models of the Nokia N95, one of which I use, and tell me what CDMA phone you can use that compares...and how many phones does Nokia make for CDMA?? They are the #1 manufacturer in the world and predominately make GSM ph...

nokia doesn't make any cdma phones, pantech makes them and then nokia puts it's name on it!

I really don't care which technology is used more around the world or which technology has more phones available. It doesn't mean that GSM is the best. Personally, CDMA to me is the best because I want to make a clear call without interruption. That buzz was so bad that people couldn't stand to be on the phone with me. It was also really irritating to listen to a buzz in my earpiece. The reason it's so previlant around the world is because it's so "cheap" to build out. Get the word "cheap"? That's probably why you get that nasty buzz!
That's why I chose CDMA. Actually my friend introduced me to it. I never would have known there was anything but GSM if it wasn't for him. Thank god. Like the guy said in the report, the sweet sound of sile...

I have a friend who had a Razr with Verizon and had the same buzzing. So how is it a GSM buzz? It is a Motorola Buzz. They are known for their buzzing on the Razrs. No network is full proof. Sorry to burst your bubble.
...
It's called the "GSM Buzz" GSM is TDMA and TDMA interferes with electronics. That's why Nextels will do the same thing. iDEN is also TDMA based. CDMA obviously is completely different and uses a completely different way to transmit voice and data(basically a better way). I'm saying that GSM(TDMA) is an old technology due to the fact that it has this malfunction but for some reason people still want to deploy it everywhere because it's so cheap to deploy. Sure there may be a fluke time where you may here something (which would be news to me) or a defect in the RAZRs (which I know is the case in the GSM ones). All I am saying is that alltogether, GSM is an interfering technology that should be fixed. I mean, sure AT&T is the largest company in...
