Not for me, I could save a ton of money switching to AT&T and an iPhone with my TVA discount and a bundle with my AT&T home service, AT&T DSL, and Dish Net, but the fuckers won't put up towers where I need them. I am not talking about the gap because verizon doesn't even work there. I am talking I can't get 3G at home just regular GSM and i dont get service at all once I leave the interstate on the way to work all the way to work. Basically where I need service for emergency reasons, the damn thing doesn't work in the half the places. GHEY!!! So I am stuck with Verizon til AT&T gets off their ass.

There is one Apple fanboy at work that had to have the iphone, so he has a cheap verizon phone with the bare minimum just to have an emergency phone. That's apple dedication.

iPhone will come to Verizon eventually, I am hoping the deal runs out this year and it's announced at macworld next month.

now that would be interesting... all our company phones are through Verizon so it's a PIT for me to expense my phone through AT&T.

It's coming regardless of AT&T wanting it to or not, it will either come in the form of a CDMA phone or when LTE starts to become the norm and there is no more CDMA/GSM war. It's just a matter of years or months. I don't think we will get an iphone CDMA this year unless Apple really throws a curveball at macworld, but it's looking more and more a reality for 2010.

I switched from Verizon to Cingular long before iPhone, and I'm so glad I did. Verizon gave me bad service and overcharged. ATT leaves me alone and gives me money for dropped calls.

Bottom line is this..

its hard to say that any of them are better or worse cause we all live too far apart. Suck here may not be suck there.

Plus I can attest that I know people that don't know how to deal with biz.

Take for example my chevy dealer. I love them and they take care of me. My bro took his chevy truck there... said they were rude, and gave him shit.

I have never had that but my bro is nitorious for having more problems. He just doesn't handle customer service well. So that alters people's perspective on dealing with any company.

From what I have seen AT&T and Verizon are actually pretty close with Verizon having slightly better service. I have Verizon and have stuck with them because I ride solo a lot and prefer having a phone that works well in weird locations. Of course my phone is an old school 4year old flip phone and I disabled text messaging.

But I will say if you are going to switch don't switch for a phone. 2 years from now AT&T will no longer have the Macdaddy phone and it'll be Verizon with it. Or who knows maybe even Metro PCS. The cell phone companies are becoming so competitive now who knows what will become in 2+ years.

Now when you do leave you are going to get some crazy offers that are worth taking. My buddy was going to leave Sprint/Nextel for Verizon but then they knocked his payment down and gave him two brand new top of the line phones for free. So he stayed.
