Reports of first day orders for the iPhone on Verizon have been spectacular.
AT&T really appears to be in trouble if the trend continues. This could mean hundreds of thousands of customers jumping ship for better service available at Verizon.
They will be rewarded because several early adopters/testers of the iPhone on Verizon are reporting fantastic results.
AT&T clamped down and started charging users who use lots of data. Masquerading it as a way for customers to save money, AT&T tiered the price levels.
Verizon on the other had said it would offer unlimited data, but rumors are circulating that Verizon may by restricting data hogs. Watch…. to see what happens.
In the meantime look for the exodus to continue from AT&T as the iPhone rolls out on Verizon, in the meantime will iPhone that is the works and will be a 4G, be available on AT&T first and then Verizon, or vice versa or on both at the same time?
These are interesting times, as consumers we need to always keep these companies competitive by shopping and rewarding the companies with the best price/value/service.
In the meantime if you are with AT&T give them a call and let then know you are looking to leave AT&T, see what they offer. If you are with Verizon, congrats you now have one of the best phones on the market.
