The Universe seems to agree that Verizon will be announcing the avilability of iPhone on their network at 11:00 AM Eastern Time today. I am an AT&T customer with an iPhone plan since June 29th, 2007. I was a Verizon Customer back in early 2000’s. Previously I was a Sprint customer. My view on wireless network is something like this:<\/p>\n
Generally the quality of service greatly depends on where I’m at. There are places where one service provider had no coverage while the others do. Customer service are equally horrible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Am I happy with AT&T service?
\nWhat I can say is that I am considering moving to other service providers like Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile.<\/p>\nAm I happy with the iPhone?
\nIn general I really like the iPhone. It was the first great phone I had. I still like the iPhone.<\/p>\nDoes Verizon have better wireless service than AT&T?
\nMy good friend seems to think so. I still think that it depends on where you are. Certainly in Metropolitan areas AT&T wireless does suffer. At the same time I have seen lack of coverage from Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile in different places. But it is about AT&T this time. In Southern California AT&T service is not as horrible as in The Bay Area. In general, AT&T service are available where I’m at most of the times but not all. Outside of California I have mixed results. There are a lot of parts in Nevada where AT&T has no coverage while Verizon and Sprint do. One thing I can say is that AT&T has excellent coverage around Boise, Idaho. I cannot say if Verizon’s service is as worse as AT&T’s.<\/p>\nThings I enjoy being on AT&T network is primarily influenced by the ability to switch my phones anytime I want. It is as easy as removing the SIM Card from one phone and installing it on the other. I am currently using iPhone 3GS and Nexus One. I am planning to get an unlock Palm Pre 2. If there’s an unlock Windows Phone 7 phone with an attractive price tag, I’d get one too.<\/p>\n
If I were to switch to Verizon, I wouldn’t be able to use different phone on the same account. There is no way I would want to pay for different accounts so that I could use different phones. Despite of the negatives on AT&T, I still prefer having to use different phones. Switching to Verizon means I would not be able to do so.<\/p>\n
If I were a Verizon customer today, I’d definitely get the iPhone.<\/p>\n
Now, it’s T minus 97 minutes till Verizon announcement.<\/p>\n
