May 26 iPhone on Verizon?I am using an iPhone on T-Mobile but am very hesitant to switch to the new iPhone coming out this summer on ATT even though I really want to. Why? It costs more per month and has only slightly better coverage than T-Mobile. Also, some of the restrictions on ATT just really rub me the wrong way. For example, SlingPlayer can only operate with WIFI? HUH? How can they charge me for “unlimited” 3G internet access and deny me the ability to use my SlingPlayer unless I am connected to WIFI? I used SlingPlayer years ago on T-Mobile with my window mobile phone and it worked just fine (no extra charge BTW)! There is a rumor that Verizon may soon have an iPhone. Now that, my friend, is a differentiator! I could (and I may) still switch from T-Mobile to ATT in order to get the new iPhone this summer even though I will be paying more for less monthly. But I would JUMP at the chance to switch to Verizon if I could have the new iPhone on their network. I would even pay MORE per month than ATT charges. Why? Ubiquitous signal coverage (OK, maybe not ubiquitous but heck Verizon has coverage even in the western PA mountains that I visit every few years). Better signal strength indoors (isn’t this where most of us use our phones anyway?). 80 million customers...make that 80 million and 1, I hope. Why does this matter? FREE MOBILE TO MOBILE. And besides that, when they acquired AllTel, the created a “My Faves” like plan that T-Mobile has. With this plan, you can pretty much have UNLIMITED calling minutes while paying for the least minutes plan under certain conditions (ask me for details if interested, you'll need Google Voice previously known as GrandCentral). OK, I am done ranting for today. I feel better now. C’mon Verizon, step up to the plate (QUICK)! |
