Verizon iPhone: Five Times More 3G Coverage

Verizon iPhone: Five Times More 3G Coverage

By: Peter Chubb | October 6, 2009 | 13 Comments

If you are looking to get five times more 3G coverage from your Apple iPhone, then you will want to have a Verizon iPhone. The network carrier has launched a new ad campaign in the hope that Apple CEO Steve Jobs is watching. AT&T will certainly not be happy with the new ad, and neither will iPhone users.

We all know the Apple iPhone slogan, “There’s an app for that” well Verizon have come up with its own slogan, “Want Five Times More 3G Coverage? There’s a Map for That.” According to Digital Daily, the ad centers on a number of complaints about the quality of the 3G coverage of the iPhone on AT&T. Verizon, the preferred network states that they have five times more coverage than AT&T. Verizon then goes on to say in the advert, “Before you pick a phone, pick a network.”

iPhone customers have said that they would rather lose money and hand their iPhones in to AT&T if they had the choice to move over to Verizon. It is no secret that the AT&T’s iPhone exclusivity deal looks set to end sometime in 2010, and if Apple did sign on with Verizon, then Apple would increase iPhone sales by 12.2 percent.

    I would be one of those customers if there was an alternative to AT&T’s ridiculous plans. If Verizon does the same thing, charging for every little thing such as SMS/MMS as add ons and offer Limited “Unlimited” plans, then much wont change.

    Come on Verizon!! We all want the iphone!! I would go buy it tomorrow!

  • Chase

    Verizon SUCKS!! so who cares?

  • runabout

    ATT is not any better than Verizon. At least Verizon has coverage.

  • Brad

    Only 12%? That sounds pretty conservative to me.

    I’ll stick with Verizon. No offense to iPhone users. Hey, I think iPhone is great product. But I’ve had to loan my cell out several times since the beginning of summer, alone, because I HAD the coverage and AT&T did NOT. I’m sure iPhome is great, but it’s USELESS with NO Coverage. Might as well have two tin cans and a string.

    I’m about to move to an area with spotty AT&T coverage. I’m planning on ditching my beloved iPhone and waiting for an HTC HD2. If I could use Verizon, I’d stay with the iPhone.

    Verizon if you buy the iPhone I’m sure that a whole bunch of people will switch their mobile network. AT&T has spotty coverage but they have some cool phones. If we get some cool phones then this will be good for you and us as customers.

    Verizon has better coverage by far than AT&T. So why do you say that they suck? This makes no sense, you are just being immature and are probably a teenager who has nothing better to do in school. So why don’t you do yourself some good and read a book or something.

    Quality is always the winner over quantity, we should all know that by now… Come one Verizon… really? You charge more for less, and you have major flaws, especially considering your phones still run on the outdated CDMA network. Join the rest of the world at use GSM and sim cards.

    how 'bout this: verizon users: unlock an iphone… att users: dont complain about an ad from a company claiming superiority… thats just what they do. Also, @ runabout & Tyler: the actual quality of a network varies as compared to the placement of the user, so while verizon may be cheaper and have more coverage, and in some places better coverage, ATT has quality consistance which is unavailable in verizon.

    AT&T has faster Internet conection than verizon but verizon has better 3g coverage. To me a whitewash. Both are ridiculous with their pricing plans. We need someone like metro pcs to give us ever thing for $40 a month with no tax, no hidden fees, no price hikes. Unfortunetly this will never happen in my lifetime. Hey cmon guys it’s all about the all mighty dollar! Greed greed greed!

    Most companies have emerged to offer people with the easiest way of procuring a loan from them. What I would like to know is why some of these institutions are so discreet when it comes to the interests they charge.
