What’s your iPhone strategy?
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple plans to begin producing this year a new iPhone that could allow U.S. phone carriers other than AT&T to sell the gadget.
The new iPhone would work on a type of wireless network called CDMA, the WSJ reports. CDMA is used by Verizon Wireless, AT&T’s main competitor, as well as Sprint Nextel.
Verizon declined to comment for the WSJ story.
But what do you say?
Will you wait for Verizon or another carrier before buying the iPhone?
AT&T has come under criticism because iPhone sales initially overwhelmed its network. But the company says it has been investing billions to beef it up and improve service.
If you’re with AT&T, have things improved? Will you bolt to another carrier if the iPhone becomes available?

ga peach it will be 4G coverage…and question I thought verizon’s rates were alot more than ATT? Is this true?
VZW and ATT are about the same price wise, but coverage wise VZW tops ATT. End of story.
I have thought about going to ATT, but then I hear all these rumors about VZW getting the iPhone. I just want the iPhone so I can dump this POS blackberry and sync with my Mac!

I’ve had the iPhone since November and have had no problems with dropped calls, service etc. I also have been with AT&T for 5 years with no problems. Love the phone but hate the fact that I’m foolish enough to pay an extra $30/month for the so-called “data plan”.

What are you talking about VZW pay off Apple? Apple offered VZW the iPhone, but VZW being the dumbasses they are declined the offer because they want to have complete control over the damn phone. VZW would have had the iPhone if they weren’t just tightfisted aholes.

First generation iPhone user here. Made the switch over to AT&T in December 2007 in part because of the iPhone, but also because Verizon was gauging us with their BlackBerry plan. Since the switch I’ve found AT&T’s service to be much more reliable with a stronger, more consistent signal than what I was getting with Verizon. I don’t have 3G on my iPhone (first generation), so I can’t speak for those with 3G issues, but EDGE is adequate in Atlanta for surfing the internet. I’ve also found that EDGE is faster in Atlanta than other cities (New York City, Charlotte to name a few), which is nice.
A few things to consider for those hoping for a Verizon/Sprint iPhone adoption:
- Verizon was offered the iPhone initially, but turned it down due to Apple’s micromanagement requests. I think this issue still stands as relevant today.
- More pertinent (and perhaps lesser known) is the introduction of Verizon’s App Store, which will be included on Verizon’s smart phones in the coming months. The iPhone’s App Store is already a huge draw for consumers, as well as a point of pride for Apple, and I believe the conflict between Apple’s and Verizon’s respective App Stores will be an issue between the two companies. Should/can Verizon include the Verizon App Store on an iPhone?
- I can’t see 4G networks having any affect on Apple’s choice of carriers right now. Apple isn’t known for providing customers with the most up-to-date technology on its products, a fact I resent despite being an Apple fan. 3G was a developing technology around the time of the first iPhone’s introduction, much like 4G is now, yet Apple didn’t include 3G until the second generation iPhone in 2008. Sprint can brag about 4G all it wants, but until Apple decides to include 4G compatibility in their iPhone, it will remain a non-issue.
- Apple is well aware of AT&T’s network struggles, but they seem to remain committed to AT&T. Apple seemed to “go to bat” for AT&T through their commercials touting the iPhone’s ability to talk/surf at the same time on AT&T’s 3G network, and it could be argued that the billions AT&T is investing in its 3G network will be enough to satisfy Apple to remain with them for at least another year or two.
To conclude, a Verizon iPhone would prove beneficial to consumers, however I just can’t see it happening yet. The compatibility issues between Apple and Verizon that plagued their negotiations in 2007 still exist today, and I can’t imagine Verizon’s backing of the Motorola Droid’s “iDon’t” ad campaign, clearly targeting Apple’s iPhone, helped Verizon’s cause any in the eyes of Apple.

I was waiting on Palm to do something terrific, but it looks like they are down for the count. I am an AT&T customer, needed to replace my Treo 650 and recently purchased the Blackberry 9700. So, I am stuck with AT&T for the next two years. I would love to go to Verizon, but they are simply too costly. Even if I went to Verizon, though, I still would not get the iPhone. I don’t trust Apple (or Microsoft, for that matter) and I particularly do not like that the iPhone battery is not customer-replaceable. My cell phone is my primary phone and I can’t take the down-time to get the iPhone serviced for battery replacement.

Lemming phone. We don’t want it clogging the Verizon network. Let all of the lemmings stay with ATT.
There are people out there ignorant enough to believe the iPhony is the only device to do the things they want to do. They don’t realize that other device can do those things, have done the for YEARS longer, and IMHO can do them better. So lemmings, stay away.
And I can plug a memory card into my device, and change my own battery, and install any software I want, (not just what Apple allows).

TnGelding is clueless. I use my iphone to do everything from paying bills, online auctions, controlling the music throughout my house etc. I’m sure I pay att more than just basic cell service and they are happy about it. But as soon as VZ gets the iPhone I’m with them. Att service is horrible.

I had a HTC Touch Pro with Sprint for a few years, the phone was OK, but I hated Sprint so much, and their customer service was so lousy, not to mention they refused to honor the warranty I was paying $7 a month for, so I left. I was intrigued by the iPhone, so I made an impulse buy and went with it and AT&T. I haven’t had a problem with their customer service, or any problems with dropped calls at all. Every now and then I hit a dead zone, but it’s usually in a basement or something. I have yet to see a phone that this doesn’t happen to.
I do hope to see Verizon and Sprint get the iPhone though. It’s a great device, and extremely easy to use, and the more access people have to it, the better.

I’ve had Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon, and none can compare to Verizon. I ported my number to AT&T because I wanted the iphone and it was searching for a signal in my living room, that was a problem.
With T-Mobile my phone did not have a signal and I was advised to go stand close to the road in order to receive a signal….WTH???
Sprint, I can’t believe that no one has bought them out. Yes, they have wonderful plans, but if you go to the backwoods down south it will not work at all. I need reliable service at all times, so i’ll stick with what and who I know and that is Verizon.
All I can say is, you get what you pay for!!!!

I must say that I am a native Atlantan and will only use my hometown products which include Southern Bell (now AT&T). The same goes for buying Coca Cola, Home Depot, etc … BellSouth helped build this town and many families are dependent upon this company. Verizon awoke a sleeping giant in November with their derogatory ads and now the company is investing billions and billions of dollars this year to make sure that the network is functioning. I have noticed an awesome difference in my cell coverage so I must thank Verizon for waking up AT&T. CDMA is an outdated and obsolete technology so good luck Verizon.

Considering that Verizon admits my house is a dead zone for them and they have no intention on getting it service in the near future, I’m pretty sure the iPhone is out. It was out anyway, but after the way Verizon treated my boyfriend, I’m glad he moved over to my network with Sprint. We can actually make calls in our Brookhaven home! Imagine that.
To be fair, T-Mobile and AT&T also have dead zones in my home… obviously going to stick with Sprint and HTC (both of which pair up with Google on a regular basis anyway for any Google bed-lovers here…).

Had an Iphone for years, I travel on most weekends and traveling is so much easier with it. The possibilities are endless. However the only complaint I have with ATT is the 3g coverage. Just like the commercials, it is only limited to mid major to major cities. No dropped calls though. Verizon is a bit more expensive and I would not want to incur the expense of switching to Verizon, plus I did customer service for Verizon and probably wouldnt want to be one of there customers. Not a bad company and the network is good but I am good with ATT. All in all I think people will do fine with ATT unless they are in small rural towns alot and need the higher speed 3g coverage. I will say this the convenience of talking on the phone and being able to do other media related things at once is a huge advantage, especially for business men like myself. Verizon will need to work on that capaility. However ATT is constantly upgrading there 3g coverage because they are getting killed in the commercials lol.

It took me weeks to figure out a new cell phone plan, because I didn’t want to pay extra for data ($30!!!). All I wanted was a simple messaging phone, with a keyboard, but almost everyone wanted to require at least a $10 data plan. I stuck with Verizon (and my 20% corporate discount) because I could get a slider phone. AT&T would’ve required at least an additional $10; Sprint was the other alternative. There is no way I’m paying $30 extra for unlimited data.

Well, Sprint PCS has (what I think) is an IPhone killer (the HTC EVO 4G). coming out this summer. I’ve been with Sprint for 12 years and haven’t had any major problems. One of the main problems that I had with Sprint was the 2 year wait for a (main line) phone upgrade with a huge rebate. Now, the wait is only 1 year. The last I’ve heard there was no insurance on the IPhone. If my Sprint phone has any trouble, my $7 per month allows me to get an alomost new phone with no questions asked. I checked with AT&T and for what me and my 4 additional lines get with Sprint would cost $40 more per month with AT&T.

Im reading all these comments about people having or hearing about issues with AT&T. Ive been with AT&T since it was BellSouth Mobility and I dont have a single complaint. I have the iPhone and it works just fine to me. Yeah, Ive had dropped calls but dang, isnt that every phone company! Hell, I just call the person back and keep talking! I think some people dont understand that technology is not flawless and expect 100% perfect operation at all times and when the smallest glitch happens they start bitchin’! AT&T yall are alright with me!!

Everyone in my family has an AT&T iPhone- 4 people. We love our iphones. I used to be a huge blackberry fan. I quit cold turkey once I got my iPhone. I’ve never had a problem with iPhone or my AT&T service. If Verizon can get it, more power to them. EVERYONE should have one. I’ll stick with my faithful AT&T, where I can talk, text, and FACEBOOK all at once. To be honest this phone creates an addiction unparallel to any crackberry itch that I’ve ever had. Since I can’t complain about my coverage or customer service, I have no reason to jump ship.

The iPhone is dated by now so there’s no rush to switch left. Sure existing iPhone users may want a refresh and Verizon’s much bigger network but there are better devices out there. The recently announced(avail next month) HTC Evo/Supersonic on Sprint incorporates 4G, 4.3″ multi-touch, 1Ghz processor, latest Android, 8MP camera/1.3MP front facing camera, Hotspot support for 8 devices, HDMI, and even a handy kickstand for those who enjoy the 720p streaming. If it’s available at a reasonable price, I definitely see myself going to Sprint since ATL has 4G coverage. The iPhone is still pretty much the same as it was in ‘08 and there are several devices that provide significantly more utility for the money.
As for the call/browse multi-tasking going against Verizon, I’d hardly call what the iPhone has multi-tasking. My TMobile Android phone can talk/browse and also stay on my chat clients (AIM, GChat, MSN simultaneously) or 3rd party software at the same time w/o having to hack the phone. Of course the only real way to multi-task on a phone while talking on it is either to use the speakerphone, headset or a BT headset w/ the screen active and no smart phone battery lasts very long under that type of usage so it’s of limited value. If my BT isn’t handy and I need to look something up I usually just tell them I’ll call back even though I can keep them on the line while running an app or messaging someone.
Even my old Blackjack on Tmo had been able to do basic multi-tasking since ‘06 and I don’t pay anywhere near AT&T’s extremely expensive data plans. I also get 1,000 anytime, nights/weekends, data, 400txts, and can tether my current phone to my computer all for less than Apple charges for voice alone.

Fact: By Paul constantly saying FACT he comes across looking like a jerk and a Apple apologist.
AT&T has improved but their customer service still gets lower and lower ratings based on how they treat their customers. In fact they are the lowest in the industry! See article below:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/183590/atandt_customer_ratings_hit_new_low.html
I guess treating customers poorly just because you have a phone no one else does is not a good business strategy.

ATLBoy,
Bellsouth is no longer a homegrown company. Didn’t you notice the tens of thousands of layoffs and jobs shifting to Texas following the merger? Sure AT&T wireless is still based here but the strings are being pulled from Dallas. They even dumped the lease on their HQ and the building subsequently went into foreclosure.
The majority of workers left in Atlanta are support workers and some legacy back office functionality. Sure there are plenty of landline workers left in the state but the bulk of the real income jobs are gone as are all the contractors/vendors that were built around them.
I don’t see any real value in buying from large global companies that just happen to be based in Atlanta and I work for one. Shareholders, boardmembers, etc aren’t necessarily aligned with the city or the state. They’ll move jobs and infrastructure anywhere they can get the best tax break and as a shareholder I’d be pissed if they didn’t.

AT&T coverage SUX! If you don’t live in ATL., then you know what I’m talking about. I left Verizon 2yrs ago because AT&T service was cheaper for my BB (pearl). Wanted to save $. Big MISTAKE! Dropped calls, bad service, and horrible coverage unless you are in or around a larger city. 2 wks. ago, I was travelling to Fitzgerald, Ga. when 1 of my tires went flat. Tried calling for help after realizing my spare was also flat,(NO SERVICE). All I got was a big red X. So now I’m stranded. Cool thing about small towns is people there will try to help you. A guy drove up (30min. later), grabbed his phone and called for help. When I asked him about his service, he said Verizon. June 6th is the last day that I will be an AT&T customer. It can’t get here soon ENUFF!!! What good is a cell phone if u can’t use it when you need it?!?

I am not into marketing for any particular carrier, but as a corporate support person, I have dealt with most carriers, T-Mobile, ATT, Verizon and Sprint specifically, i addition to daily contact with RIM.
Domestically, ATT is hands down the best, despite Verizons misleading commericials. Internationally, T-Mobile is the best. I rank Verison and print about equal with customer service, but connectivity and performance, ATT on the domertic front and T-mobile internationally. I would only use those two when it comes to cellular service. have friends who complains about Verison and Sprint alot. T-Mobile subscribers are reasonaly as happy as ATT.
I do think that all carriers are extremely over priced; they know we will pay for the service, regardless of what it rise to. As consumers, we should demand a reduction is service. The cost is 60% more than it should be, as with most everything we use.
I use ATT in the metro area only get a few drops; I am on my phone alot bascially accross all points of the Metro Atlanta area.

I’ve had an iPhone for two years and I love it for everything EXCEPT making phone calls. I can’t wait to dump A.T.&T. If you travel at all, you no doubt know what I’m talking about.
Actually, at my office building there is a funny routine that goes on all day long. There are constantly people walking around the parking lot looking at their phones. Those people all have A.T.&T. service and they’re looking for a signal (sometimes they find one and many times they don’t). People with other providers have access in the building and in their offices. Those of us with A.T.&T. might as well just turn the phone off once we enter the building.

AT&T totally underestimated the entire iphone experiment and their network was completely exposed in the process. While I can understand this, I don’t get their policy to bury their heads in the sand and pretend everything was fine. I called support 20+ times and they made it sound like I was the only subscriber having problems. Dropped calls, data errors, coverage gaps, numbers I called every day that came up as invalid numbers, etc. My two years are up with ATT and I will not re-up for any reason. I’m taking my business elsewhere as soon as there is another iphone carrier. I understand Verizon may experience some difficulty in the early going but I’ll take my chances. I don’t talk and surf- don’t know many that do- so that’s not a big deal. I’m done with ATT playing their game at my expense.

Somebody on here Q i think it is said that you cant answer a call and text at the same time or vise versa on verizon , that is not true I have the Samsung Intensity on Verizon and I talk and text simultaneously all the time . that is one thing the droid is famous for is multitasking. I have read and seen that at&t’s service is horrible so its good to see that a great phone like the iphone might possibly be on somebody other than at&t.

I guess I am one of the few that doesn’t have an issue with AT&T. Ironically, I just got an iPhone today, and I’m loving it. I’ve been with AT&T for 10 years, and I’ve never had a major issue with my phone service. If a call is dropped, which doesn’t happen often, so what? Just call the person back. I’ve never blamed my service for that. In fact, I hardly ever have a problem with keeping a signal. It must be all relative to your location, the user, etc. And as far as their Customer Service, I just received the best service ever from a sales rep.
Verizon may have better plans, I don’t know, but they don’t have wide selection of phones. It will be a step up if they start selling the IPhone.

Todd, what are you smoking. I have to lend my Verizon phone to my ATT iPhony using friends often. ATT service, particulary in rural areas, is NOT as good as Verizon. PERIOD. And of course the 3G coverage of Verizons is light years ahead of ATT. Remember the ‘there is a map for that’. Remember how ATT tried to stop that ad and the judge basically told them ‘but it is true’.
ATT may be good enough for you, and in certain urban areas may be better, but in the US over all, VZW wins.
Maybe you just don’t get out much.
Nothing like listening to someone brag about their iPhony and how superior it is to my device, then when you ask them where it is, have them tell you that they didn’t bother bringing it, there isn’t any service around here. WHAT? Mean while I’m checking my emails and on the internet at 3G speeds….

My mom and brother have at&t , my wife and I got verizon prepaid and eventually switched to billed service and out of all those sprint/nextel att and verizon , verizon was the only one whos service stayed up and running WITHOUT getting the dreaded “network not available ” message during the whole 2hr trip from albany to waycross, i was suprised .

I stopped back to see how the discussion was going.
Did you know that if you AT&T offers microcells now. These are like your own personal cell tower that hook up to the Internet and provides 3G data and voice service to your building. The cost of one of these devices is $150 less rebates etc. That is a nice solution for small businesses with a number of workers.
Then there is a super slick way to enhance your iPhone coverage that was disclosed by David Pouge of the NYTimes this week. It is an iPhone app called Line2. What that does is adds another working number to your iPhone. It duplicates the iPhone telephone interface too for that number.
Then line2 allows you to make and receive calls using VOIP wifi data or 3G data routing in addition to the regular AT&T voice network. Calls made that way do not count against your cell minutes and are completely free.
If you happen to be in an area with no 3G or wifi service in teeny tiny town GA the calls are routed through AT&T’s regular voice service and you pay cellular minutes. There is a monthly fee for the second number and the VOIP connection to POTS of $14.95. But the benefits are tremendous. Businessmen can have what is in effect a telephone switch board that routes calls to different departments and voice mail boxes even if all the answering parties are you yourself. Used smartly it you can cut your bill to the absolute smallest amount of minutes that you pay for. In your house, office, or McDonalds, anypalce there is wi-fi you can have a great signal for a clear phone call even in teeny tiny town GA.
That is just one of the many things you can do with the ‘magic’ of an iPhone. You can even set up a completely free conference call with up to 20 people with line2 and the iPhone.
Even without line2 on AT&T you can take a plain old iPhone and easily add multiple parties to a conference call. It is so simple compared to the lesser technology phones. I can be talking to a clerk about picking up some items at GNC with all those weird names and ask her to wait a second, punch add call and my wife’s picture, then merge calls to have her speak with me at the same time. I know what I am to buy and she does all the hard work of explaining exactly what she wants. Meanwhile during the call I can check my email complete with pictures and documents while the two talk. To find the GNC I did not need to know anything other than how to spell GNC because the phone knows exactly where I am. I typed GNC in the search box of the maps app and ten red pins drop onto the map indicating the ten closest ones. I tap on a pin and the name, address, and phone number appear. Tapping on the phone number calls that GNC automatically. Taping on the icon on associated with the pin shows me a photo of the store and all the surrounding stores in that area so I can see where I need to go when I get there.
The practical benefits of the iPhone are enormous and easy to use. Then there are 160,000 apps you can choose from to customize the iPhone to your needs. many are free. Others are only a one time fee of $0.99 to a few dollars. If more than one in your family has an iPhone you can all share the apps without having to purchase them all over again for each iPhone or iPod Touch.
One CPA who is from Uganda that I know was longing to hear her language and news from ‘home’. I demonstrated to her using my iPhone how she could tune into any radio or TV station from there that had an Internet feed and she could listen all day long to music and news from ‘home’. She bought an iPhone.
I happened to get a beep about a Smyrna speed trap on my iPhone during a visit to Emory heart. The doctor asked me about it and I showed him the Trapster application. When I went back for a followup he proudly told me he had bought an iPhone and loved it.
Things like that make the iPhone one of the neatest pieces of tech you can buy today and a really big deal if your favorite cellular network will allow them. That is what the excitement for Verizon users is all about.

We’ve come a long way since my 1993 Bellsouth Mobility “car phone” with a black box in the trunk, a big honking phone on my car console and a car roof antenna.

This has been common practice with other countries for 10 years or more . . .

I will get an iPhone when its available from Metro PCS. The phone is too expensive, service is overpriced and it handcuffs you to a provider for 2 years…. are you kidding me…2 years no way!
