Verizon iPhone Ad Targets AT&T Reception, AT&T Giving Out Free Microcells to Some Customers
Verizon has started airing a new iPhone ad that seems to specifically target AT&T's reputation for poor voice quality.
It's beautiful. It's intelligent. Even genius. But does your network work? ... ring ... "Yes, I can hear you now." This is America's largest and most reliable network. Built so you can rule the air."
The early reviews seem to agree that Verizon's reception is better than AT&T's for voice calls.Meanwhile, we've heard that AT&T has started offering some customers free Microcell devices that boost cell phone signals at your house. Several readers have noted that they had received email offers from AT&T for free microcells. It's not clear how widespread the practice is, or the selection criteria.

Verizon would do that.
Why no more Droid commercials, Verizon? lol
Even though I have AT&T and have no intentions of switching to Verizon, I kind of like the commercial haha.
So now T-Mobile is going to have to try twice as hard to get people not to go with iPhone in general.
Its been a while since that guy (can you hear me now?) has been in the commercials ! YESSSS
Interestingly enough, the Verizon iPhone shows the time on the incoming call screen. I'm pretty sure mines doesn't do that.

Competition will drive prices down, and bring us better service. Can't wait for verizon to offer unlimited 4G when that comes out.

Oh man, how many business calls have I screwed up because of AT&T. You know when you're chasing a potential client lead for month and then you finally get to speak to someone, AT&T drops 4 times in a call.
Why Apple decided for this 3rd world operator is beyond me.
