As AT&T still has issues with spotty network performance and many customer service issues due to the massive increase of usage when they landed the iPhone elusively, Verizon is upgrading its network in order to handle it. While the possibility of Verizon landing the iPhone if the Apple/AT&T contract falls apart is still up in the air, Verizon is getting ready.
Verizon is the number one carrier in regards to customer service and network availability. They have continued to talk with Apple executives in order to try and strike a deal. Verizon has been working hard to upgrade their network in order to handle the spike in network usage the iPhone would bring. We are sure that many people would leave AT&T once the iPhone was supported on another network. There have been many that have said they only went to AT&T because of the iPhone. This just shows that Verizon is tried to put a small stake in the coffin that AT&T is building for itself. AT&T continues to deny that their network is having issues and it is hard for customers to get answers to dropped calls and spotty coverage. While they do admit that they were not prepared for the influx in traffic, they continue to not make the necessary upgrades to their network.
This action has seemed to open the eyes of Apple. They created the iPhone for the consumer and AT&T seems to have slowly ruined the attitude toward the iPhone. We have spoken to many that say that might leave the iPhone just to get away from AT&T. Verizon is doing exactly what it needs to do in order to get the possibility of winning a contract to carry the iPhone and that shows that they are run by a good management staff that think ahead. While no wireless carrier is perfect, nor near it, Verizon does a good job with their network and with their customer service, so people are happy with them for the most part. If the iPhone comes to Verizon, we think it will be wildly successful and Verizon has a hunch of this as well. Even if they do not get the iPhone, with the network upgrades, Verizon has a good chance of getting better phones from the phone manufacturers, so it becomes a win-win for Verizon.
