Verizon could care less

ridavid81

Jul 6, 2007, 12:09 PM
All you people who are leaving for the iphone. Verizon really doesn't care. They have 61 million customers and I am sure they anticipated loosing a few to the iphone. Believe me, by canceling your account with them them your really not hurting them one bit so don't think you are.

Also verizon already knows more than half these people who left for the iphone will be back soon enough. There are plenty of negative reviews for both att service and the iphone already. So for all you people that waited in long lines, slept outside, and did silly things to get a electronic device called an iphone, most of you will be selling it on ebay within a few months. You will realize every single thing the iphone does, many many many many other phones on t...

I'm glad you get paid to be the official spokesman for verizon πŸ™„ . you just show people how impersonal Verizon employees are. Your being ignorant, the only reason your making a post like this just proves YOUR AFRAID of the IPHONE. we all know verizon wont get it anytime soon for 2 reasons
1) apple wont let a communist company FORCE changes to its products.
2) Verizon is afraid of carrying a phone that costs $600
and before you start complaining about the price tag you should do your research and see what 600 dollars gets you these days in wireless devices

By the way, it's "COULDN'T care less".....dumba**!! And I'm sure you've succeeded in making everyone in the country feel guilty about their purchase πŸ™„ It's guaranteed that you haven't even touched the phone. There were Mp3 players before the iPod that did everything it did, or more. Apparently, it caught on for a reason. It's usability is extremely user-friendly....same with the iPhone. So if you don't want one, don't buy one. Posts like yours are just a waste of everyone's time who are trying to stay informed about mobile devices. Now finish up your food court lunch....it's time to get back to the kiosk.

I love these kiddie reviews, "Your an Iphone hater" Nah Nah Nah. OK go to PCMagazines sight and read their review of the Iphone, are they Iphone haters too? Stick and stones....

Here's the bottom line, I had one so I know. The Iphone is an Ipod with a phone built into it. PERIOD! The phone stinks. Period!

When you buy a cell phone you buy one for communication. To place calls and communicate. The Iphone doesn't do that very well at all, actually it's the worst phone I ever had except for an entry level Kyrocera I had years ago. All the other features are secondary such as music players, camera, internet, phone first, gadgets later.

If you want a very fancy Ipod then buy the Iphone. If you want a solid communication tool buy som...

Here's the deal, this guy IS arrogant. I'm sure he doesn't speak for VZW as a whole or they would cease to exist. BUT This is not the best selling phone in history... the RAZR is, and we all know how GREAT that phone was/is. Before you claim that AT&T is the best though... you should try something that doesn't brag about it's NEW HOT IPHONE that uses the BLAZING speed of EDGE! Good luck

I am impartial to any carrier. I have used many different wireless carriers and could complain in different ways about each. But for the sake of accuracy, I thought I should mention that the biggest reason that Verizon won't get the IPhone anytime soon isn't because Verizon is a communist community or afraid to charge $600 for the phone. Engadget.com, CNN, and RCR Wireless News have all reported that Apple and Steve Jobs approached Verizon Wireless first about carrying the I...

OK let's play CEO.

You have Jobs in your office and he is talking to you about his new product, during the conversation you find out that the phone will not have features that every other phone has, the phone will feature a non customer replacable battery and other drawbacks but yet he wants you to sell that phone as Gods gift to the cell world. If it was me I too would have thrown him out of my office.

Just the battery replacement option killed the deal for me. Now read this carefully.

All of you that bought this phone (and kept it) you better hope that the battery goes while the phone is still under warrantee, here's why.


If you take full advantage of the battery replacement deal which is,

A new battery
The cost of shippi...

What I don’t get is why her being poor has anything to do with it, I have a $100.00 handset that has more features than an IPhone, maybe the features she’s looking for in a phone are a little different than your and her views on it are a bit jaded because she has a 1st gen sprint phone that suits her needs just fine? Furthermore, when in the world did you become the end all be all on the IPhone? Did you crawl up Steve Jobs butt like AT&CinguSouth, or whatever their name is this week to find all of your studious educational aspects of bashing on others because they just don’t like than damn phone? Maybe the vast majority of the country would rather pay a reasonable price for a handset that has twice as many features, works a trusted and true ...

How often do you need to replace a battery, really?
I'm a heave cell user and I never had to buy a new battery. The one they have in iPhone is good for about 2 years if you charge it daily.
Also this person have no idea how data on iPhone is stored - all data on iPhone including music, videos, podcasts, contacts, photos and more is daily synchronized with your PC or Mac.
You will not loose that data even if you loose your iPhone and get a new one.

Amongst other things that have been said, the articles point out that not only is Verizon Wireless currently focussing on trying to resolve every concern the first time someone calls (which wouldn't be possible with Apple and Steve Jobs requiring Apple technical support to handle troubleshooting and activation), but in addition Steve Jobs wanted a portion of the monthly service access that Verizon charges to go to Apple, and wanted controlled distribution of the IPhone just like they have done with ATNT. In essence the limiting of availability to an APPLE store or a direct Verizon Wireless store would limit availability to the areas that have them. The articles talk about Verizon Wireless working with their indirect dealers and drawing a l...

That's probably true. Verizon was consistently net adding more customers each quarter than ATT, and Verizon has much better customer loyalty (churn rate) than ATT. ATT looked like they were going to lose the #1 spot, prolly within a year.

So yeah, they had a lot of incentive to get the iPhone. And to buy 1.7 million customers by buying Dobson. But hey, that is the way the game is played. Ya can't hate ATT for doing the deals they needed to do.

Jul 7, 2007, 1:27 PM
Oh My God How Old Are You?

The reason ATT has more customers is because of the customers aquired from other cell phone companies that ATT bought, not by signing them up. ATT had a very small customer base until they bought Cingular, it was that aquisition that gave them the customer base that they now have.


I think it's time us adults start checking out what they are teaching kids in High School. apparently not much.

buddy, all you seem to be doing is talking trash towards people with opinions, and about a product I dont think you really know much about. Why is at&t the biggest company if they suck? Why do you think people care about "hurting verizons feelings." dont really get it, but ill be waiting for your diss on me in the next few days. you can dis me, you can dis the phone, but what you cant dis is facts and there are two major ones

VZW had the chance to pick up the iPhone with Apple.

However, VZW didn't like Apple's deal, because VZW couldn't "control" the iPhone and cripple it to death!

VZW is feeling like what Yankess are to baseball: baby's when they don't get there way!

Jul 7, 2007, 1:47 PM
Actually you are wrong, VZW at the time of the Apple presentation already had a "smart phone" under development that would do more, have more and be less expensive than the Iphone, the phone will be out shortly. People who have tested it have called it the "Iphone Killer". While not as "hip" as the Iphone and not as sleek as the Iphone, this phone is highly more functionable than the Iphone. So why go with a phone that is not as good as what you will have shortly?

The Iphone will not be viable for business customers, too many things missing for the average business person. Basically as I have stated in other posts, the Iphone is an Ipod that has a phone feature. So to a certain group of people it will be attractive. But for those who...

Ive seen the phone, while not as innovative in style as the Iphone, the thing has killer apps and every item that is missing on the Iphone this particular unit has. The WIFI on it is awesome. The one drawback, I have no clue when VZW is going to release it. While I have no ties to VZW or any provider for that matter, Iam in the business hence the screen name, it takes a lot to impress me. My one mantra and concern in this business is, communication and a cell phone is a telephone (or more technical a radio phone) My single concern with any cell is the phone. The Iphone is a horrible phone. People come to me all the time for guidance, about telephones, and I'm only in the business of fixing and restoring of antique telephones, but I have ...

I really dont think that people are switching carriers to try to hurt verizons feelings. they are doing it for themselves. No one cares what verizon thinks. And people may go running back to verizon, but not for at least 2 years. By that time, im sure the BIGGEST carrier will have a few other impressive phones. Dont know why everyone talks bad about the service at&t gives, its been great to me all my life.
