Switching from Verizon to AT&T - Page 3

I will say that my blackberry worked awesomely in Europe a couple of weeks ago. In fact-it worked better than here. ATT all the way here.

Verizon has world edition crackberrys that use GSM so that's a nonissue in your case. Everyone is going to LTE as their 4G choice, so the CDMA/GSM war is coming to an end as everyone will be using the same tech. Verizon is getting there first as they invest much much more into their network than AT&T does, so Verizon is the best future choice if you want speed.

Verizon doesn't drop calls like ATT...but hey you get a cool phone.

But whatever you do... don't get the new samsung at verizon... my bro has it and is on his 3rd one in under a month! Everything will work fine on it besides the phone rotation thing (like the iphones do) where the screen turns or flips when you turn or flip the phone.

Which one? The omnia seems to be getting better reviews than both the storm and iphone right now and thats one of samsungs newest phones.

Same here...Hell I've been a Customer for 5 Years...and I have no Complaints.

IMO, it depends on where you are and the coverage the provider has of that area.

T Mobile sucks major ass here and Verizon doesn't do much business here as well.

The big providers in my area are Aw Hell and AT&T, with AT&T having the better coverage, plans, and service.

They've all got their shit points. For me, Sprint was the absolute worst. They kept fucking up my bill, adding a fuck ton of extra charges, charging me for minutes when I was in unlimited nights and weekends, charging me for data when I had unlimited data, charging for text when I had unlimited text. Shit like that. And their CSR's are rude pieces of shit. I won't touch Sprint/Nextel again. I'd rather get a tracphone.

AT&T wasn't bad for me. I had them before and they were fine, then switched to Sprint/Nextel because I moved to an area where AT&T service was non-existant, and eventually changed back. I've had nothing but good experiences with their customer service department. Problem was, I had to contact their customer service department on several occassions to find out why my calls would be dropped, why I wouldn't be able to call out or receive calls, or why I'd have zero 3G coverage in a supposedly strong 3G area. Good customer service is nice, but useless when I can't use my phone for about a week out of every month for unknown reasons.

So far Verizon has treated me right. I haven't had dropped calls, I get good connection on their 3G, and I like my Storm a whole bunch. I'd like it more if they'd release another firmware update, but I knew that would be something I would probably have to deal with jumping on a first generation new toy. The only problem I've had is getting them to add my discount I get through my job (22% is fucking sweeeeeet), but that's finally been applied.

Could you post up a link to your phone? The one you sent my via text didn't load the page for me.
