31% of iPhone users likley to jump to Verizon

[xraydoc]

I'd switch (back) to Verizon if they got the iPhone.

Actually, I have an account with Verizon - mainly a work phone that I don't use too much any more (like the iPhone too much). It's a Motorola Droid running a rooted & custom themed version of Froyo 2.2. Otherwise, we have a family plan on AT&T. Whole family (all 5 of us) have iPhones.

AT&T is ok for me when I'm anywhere but at work. Virtually zero AT&T coverage inside the building at work. Only in a few areas, mostly near windows, can one get a usable signal. Most of the time, everyone with iPhones at work just stare at the "No Signal" notification at the top left of the screen. Verizon, on the other hand, literally has full-power service everywhere inside. Supposedly, there are VZW repeaters inside the building.

While I'd probably leave the rest of the phones on AT&T, I'd switch mine to Verizon in a heart beat so I could have usable service. Even if it meant I'd loose simultaneous voice & data on my phone.

I would probably jump. I have good AT&T coverage here, but when I go home it is crushingly bad. Despite being in the boonies they are covered by Verizon 3G.

I bet they will jack up the plan price specifically for the iPhone.

I bet they won't so they can steal more of at&t's customers.

I'd wanna switch to verizon just because at&t doesn't work in the metro...very annoying. Verizon does.

This says nothing about verizon users patiently waiting for an iPhone

yep!!

*taps foot impatiently*

my contract is up in november, i figure, by that time, there would probably be enough evidence about the VZW iphone being true or not

I think the real question is that how do people from[ie UK] put up with these constant Verizon threads?

It getting on my nerves lol...

Its funny I (with ATT) get service in tons of places that my friends and GF with Verizon don't. Not to mention I had Verizon MIFI and all I can say is JUNK!

I'm perfectly happy with AT&T. I enjoy very much the ability to use voice and data at the same time. Only thing I wonder is if Verizon will continue to charge extra for visual voicemail IF they get the iPhone.

I've had Sprint (crap), T-Mobile (bad coverage), Verizon (customer service bites) and now ATT. I am not unhappy. I don't have any desire to bail on them. I don't undeerstand all the hubbub.

I'll be switching when I can. It is great the AT&T is great for some of you, but for me it isn't. I have a lousy signal at my house (Surprise, AZ), I have a lousy signal at my office (Tempe/Chandler AZ) and I have a lousy signal where I vacation most (Oceanside, CA). I don't see how Verizon could be any worse. So maybe I won't be able to use both Data and Voice at the same time - not like I can now either!

In all the years I have had cell phone service the number of times my accounts have needed human intervention has been so few I can't rate verizon or AT&T customer service.
I know verizon corporate store were awesome in taking care of my phone needs when I broke something on a phone.
Verizon has much better coverage in Boston than AT&T. If the ETF are reasonable so long AT&T
