Verizon iPhone???

[billb]

I've used unlocked GSM cell phones with Cingular for
over a decade. Then Cingular was bought out by one
of the baby (oxymoron) Bell's....AT&T. Well sadly AT&T
is run by a bunch of lying, cheating, thieves. So I simply
dumped AT&T and signed on with T-Mobile. Now that
AT&T is buying T-Mobile I'll be dumping T-Mobile.

Does anyone use a Verizon phone? Does anyone
have a Verizon iPhone? Should I use this occasion
to get and iPhone from Verizon? What's the cheapest
plan etc.? My current plan expires in three months.

Thanks for any insight.

I have a work-provided Verizon iPhone. The coverage in my area is night and day compared to AT&T. I get great service pretty much anywhere I frequent...that was definitely not the case with AT&T as well as T-Mobile (my two previous carriers)

Here on "The Rock" T-Mobile has better coverage
than AT&T/Cingular so when I jumped ship and went
with T-Mobile the reception, service, everything was
an improvement.

I'm just wondering if the added expense will be worth
it to get an iPhone. Right now I pay around $100.00 a
year, but no internet. I don't think I'll use the internet
unless I have to evacuate do to bad weather. Then I
would just retrieve my eMail.

Maybe a prepaid Smart Phone with Wi-Fi would be a
more economical alternative.

Anyone have a Smart Phone with Wi-Fi they like?

I've got my iPhone 4 with Verizon, got it right before the unlimited data plan got replaced. I love it, haven't had a minutes problem with it, no coverage issues. Had a customer come in while I was chatting about my iPhone and he chimed in that he had one, he was going to show me something but didn't have signal. AT&T? Yup! I had 3 bars inside a steel building, he had one bar if he went out in the parking lot. I have a friend with the same coverages issues with his AT&T 3GS.

$70 +fees a month, talk text & web. I stream Pandora on my way to work & home through my MotoRokr T505, another awesome piece of hardware & I've used .25gb of data in 15 days. I think the current plan is limited to 2gb data/mo. which should be reasonable for most folks if you don't tether. Wife has a Motorola Droid2, I despise that thing.

Very cool CS223, thanks for the heads up.

I've got one. Coverage is good for voice. 3G is spotty and slower than my friend's AT&T iPhone.

Coverage depends where you are, mt hometown only had reliable Verizon signal starting a few years ago, go out into south central Missouri and no one gets any real coverage away from I-44.

It's true, it depends on the location. In some areas Verizon is really great while there are locations wherein it's just unbearable. Verizon is currently offering an amazing price of $ 99.99 for an 8-gig iPhone 4. Quite affordable but 8-gig for us is also unbearable these days, right?

Apple iPhone 4S (Verizon Wireless)

Pros: Speedy dual-core A5 processor; Siri is smart; Fast bright and sharp camera; iCloud baked in; Best arsenal of apps; Good voice quality

Cons: Lacks 4G data speeds; Display relatively small

The Verdict: Despite the familiar design, the iPhone 4S boats an appreciably faster dual-core processor, a first-class camera, and a truly innovative voice-controlled assistant.
