Apple Switching To Verizon?

Just a simple question indeed, but i need proof that iPhone is switching to VZW... I had heard from a current iPhone User and they said that they are going to verizon... Me, being a Apple Enthusiast and i happen to have everything Apple, Except My phone. Which is A Verizon Lg Dare. Closest thing to the iPhone at the time i got it... but then i realized nothing compares to the iPhone and am wondering when they're going to switch since i know my parents wouldnt ever switch providers cause they LOVE Verizon.

Apple has not made any announcement regarding offering an iPhone that is compatible with Verizon's CDMA network. Apple's exclusive with AT&T for the iPhone expires sometime in 2010, which may be extended again.
Verizon is in the process of switching from a CDMA network to an LTE network, and AT&T is in the process of doing the same. This means Verizon and AT&T will have the same type of network at some point. Verizon probably won't have their LTE network in place on a wide scale until 2011 or so. IMO, it doesn't make much sense for Apple to produce a CDMA network compatible iPhone for Verizon which will be good for a year or so since Verizon is switching from CDMA to LTE.

  • HT4528 I have an iPhone 4S and currently my carrier is AT&T, but I'm switching to Verizon.  Do I have to buy a new iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 4S and currently my carrier is AT&T, but I'm switching to Verizon.  Do I have to buy a new iPhone?

    Verizon, like virtually all CDMA carriers will not activate a device on their network that was not sold for use on their network.
    To activate an iPhone on Verizon it must be purchased either directly from Verizon or from Apple (or an authorized reseller) for use on Verizons network.
    On AT&T and all other GSM carrier iPhones (including Unlocked iPhones) the CDMA antenna is disabled.

  • Recent switch to Verizon FiOS - My Mac can't touch speeds expected

    We switched to Verizon FiOS yesterday, to the 50/25 Internet service.  The PC sitting next to me is getting that or better!  My iMac?  Not even close.  I have installed and run Apple's Broadband Tuner, but still no help.
    I'm running Mountain Lion, and hoped to see the advantages of the improved internet service.  I am extremely frustrated and would welcome any advice you may have here.
    Thanks!

    Most likely an issue with the ISP, contact them for support. Remember to read the fine print, while I haven't read Verizon's it probably says something like "up to" and doesn't promise specific speeds.

    Contact your carrier - voicemail, and visual voicemail, is a carrier feature.

  • I had a MobileMe account and when Apple switched to iCloud I now have two mail accounts: @mac and @me. Additionally my folders in iCloud not longer show up in my Mail program. How do I return to one account and see my folders on my mac?

    I went to Notes.  Showed all notes.  Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud.  I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed.  It did.  I deleted the other two notes.  I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts.  The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
    I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account.  The warning comes up:  This will delete all IMAP notes on your device.  Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad?

  • When did Apple switch to 'chome' Apple logo on Cinema/Studio LCD display?

    Hi all,
    Just curious as to when (approximately) Apple switched from using the graphite colored Apple logos (front and back) to the 'chrome' or mirrored logos on the clear-enclosure LCD Cinema / Studio Displays? Did this change indicate any significant 'internal' product changes or was it purely cosmetic?
    I'm only asking because I recently purchased a used 17" LCD Studio Display that only lasted 3 days before it suffered a backlight problem. I took it back to the store where I bought it and luckily they had another to exchange it with. The original 17" LCD I bought had the graphite Apple logos, but the exchange unit has the chrome logos.
    Thanks very much in advance.

    Believed it was purely cosmetic to match the 23" HD version (which was the first to have the new look in 2002). The new look with the 17" occurred with release of the new 20" Cinema Display (January 2003). The 17" also received a price cut at that time. More info at EveryMac.

    Switched to Verizon and bought my phone and plan in Feb,  submitted all paperwork to receive a discount because company I work for uses Verizon.  Was told they lost the paperwork in Jun and I could verify my employment by using my employee e-mail.  Did this and here it is towards the end of Sep and I still don't have my discount!!  Very frustrated and think maybe I should have stayed with AT&T.

    I'm so sorry about this, Vboozer! You should definitely have your discount! When you submitted the email, did you get any kind of a confirmation? Did you get an email at your work email address from Verizon Wireless? You can check and register for your discount here: www.vzw.com/discounts

  • When apple switch to icloud...where can I store my Mac Gallery?

    when apple switch to icloud...where can I store my Mac Gallery? any suggestions

    Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage.

  • I'm about ready to switch to Verizon!!

    Send a private message to  with your account and contact information and someone will get in touch with you.

    Hi. First off, I've been a loyal AT&T wireless customer For 15-16 years now. I've been through many company name changes, U.S. cellular, Bell South, Cingular, AT&T, maybe more, but I have had it with being on the phone hours and hours trying to make this company understand my issues. I have bought who knows how many phones, have had who knows how many different plans, have never had my service disconnected, and have been late maybe a couple times throughout. I have four devices in service. Well three at the moment.
    I downgraded my plan from 15gigs to 10gigs about 6 months ago,(I've gone up and down many times) when I did, my next bill was $100 more, which makes no sense, and of course I did not pay it. I've been on the phone with customer support for hours and hours, wasting life. Since that bill, I've been charged $5 a month late fee every month, which I will NEVER pay. I need help getting through the crap of being transferred from this person to that person and never accomplishing my goal. Can anyone tell me how to get to someone who can meet my demand of either taking all of that off of my account, or giving me a date to close my account, and switching to Verizon, who of course says that they will pay AT&T those charges if I'll switch. I need a contact other than the 1-800 customer service number or the 600 number
    Thanks, and sorry to ramble on

  • Will Apple be doing Verizon iPhone pre-orders on 2/3??

    I know Verizon will be doing the pre-order on 2/3, but I have a large Apple gift card to use. So my question is will Apple be doing Verizon iPhone pre-orders on 2/3 as well? I couldn't find the answer to this anywhere. Thanks guys.

    Based on this link, you will be able to.

  • A friend wants to switch to verizon from their current carrier. Will verizon pay for the cancellation fee?

    What are the pros and cons to switching to verizon from other carriers? 
    WIll verizon pay pay the cancellation fee?

    Pros and cons of switching to Verizon ... would depend on your requirements for service, and your budget and willingness to pay.  Research the carriers, their coverage, their services, and their prices. Then decide what works best.
    Years ago when researching our very first cell phones, Verizon had the best coverage in our area, and comparable pricing to the other carriers, so we went with Verizon.  Over the years I have compared pricing, and for what we have and need, Verizon still comes out even with or better the other carriers available to us, so we stay. 
    So, your friend would need to decide if the termination fee from his/her current carrier is worth the cost of switching.  It's a pretty subjective and personal decision, what works for me or you may not work for your friend.

  • Should I stay with my new ipad at&t or switch to Verizon

    I've been going back and forth all day thinking if I should stay with my ipad at&t or switch to Verizon. I would like to know what are the pros and con for both carriers. As I look at at&t LTE coverage map, it just looks depressing compared to Verizons map. Why are they so far behind!? Now, I live in Northern NJ, and at&t LTE tower is lovated in NYC, im not within the LTE range but the 4g or HSPA+. Same goes for Verizon LTE, Nothern NJ is only "extended overage" and so on.... I just want to know, which ipad would be the best in the long run.. Should I wait till at&t starts boosting there coverage or just completely switch.

    Well yesterday (march 19) I've decided to switch carriers. I had AT&T with hspa+ in my area. Now that I have swapped, now I have Verizon 3G coverage in my area. So either or Im still in sucky signal are. I live in norther new jersey and The closest tower from at&t and Verizon is located in NYC. Choose carefully what carriers you want. Now, the only downside of leaving AT&T is that there network uses a 2100 MHz signals. And GSM is internationally dominate while Verizon's CDMA is only based in the U.S. 
    Now based on what Verizon offers, the free personal hotspot is what help me decide. Once you pay for the service, you can do whatever you want and share the Internet on 5 other devices. Meanwhile, at&t doesn't offer free personal hotspot 'at the moment'. It will take them awhile to add that feature and most likely will add it by the next iPad launch. In addition, AT&T likes to throttle, which is why the personal hotspot is not made readily available.
    Now, another draw back, when AT&T doesn't cover you with LTE, it will offer hspa+ which is like having 3.5g.. With Verizon, when LTE is not available, 3G kicks in.
    I also have AT&T as my cellphone carrier which is why I don't feel like I'm missing out. However,  I hope their LTE towers are made available by October since its quite obvious that the next iPhone will have LTE.
    Overall, personally I'll will stay with verizon on the ipad and keep at&t on the iphone. I'm not updating to 'ipad4' next year so I want all the features that are available now on Verizon, except the 2100 MHz signals.

  • Hi, I have a Powermac with Mavericks and an iPhone 5S. I just recently switched from Verizon with unlimited downloads to limited of 500mb per month. I just purchased a Powerlink Outdoor Plus which is supposed to increase the network range for over 1 mile

    Hi, I have a Powermac with Mavericks and a recently purchased iPhone 5S. I just  switched from Verizon with unlimited downloads to limited of 500mb per month, so I purchased a Powerlink Outdoor Plus which is supposed to increase the network range for over 1 mile. I am still getting the same distance range with my iPhone with the Verizon router. I was wondering if I need to make adjustments in the Network Settings. Does anyone know about this particular subject?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Okay, I'll admit I don't know much about your configuration. A standard cellular package for a cellphone means you get your signal from a tower somewhere.  It won't have anything to do with a router which will be a WiFi connection from a router.  If you're talking about that, the Powerlink appears to be a directional antenna.  You should get better transmission/reception in the direction it is pointed, but likely worse in other directions than if you were using an omnidirectional antenna.  I presume you have it all hooked up correctly so the router is actually using the Powerlink antenna.
    By the way, those distance ratings are always exaggerated.  Maybe you'd get 1 mile if there was only dry air between you and the antenna and no trees, buildings, etc., and that would probably be just barely getting a signal.  You should see improvement but don't go to a coffeeshop 1 mile away in a city and expect to see your router.  We have a directional antenna on the roof of our house that looks like a satellite dish and I barely pick up the wireless service node a block away (with apartment buildings in between).  Thre may also be a difference between using it to send a signal and receiving a signal.  You might even need two, one at each end, to get 1 mile.

  • Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging  on use after working for 1 yr. deleted app and downloaded fresh app. Same problem. Neither Apple support or Verizon store support could find problem. Sometimes can type txt befor it

    Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging app crashes on use after one year with no problems. I deleted the app and downloaded a clean version. It crashes whether or not I have any apps running in the background. Sometimes I can type part of a message before it crashes. Other times it crashes as soon as I try to use the app at all. Neither Apple Support nor Verizon store staff could find any reason for the problems. Any ideas??
    THE TEXT SHOULD SAY THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE APP CRASHING Message was edited by: Steady_RI

    Steady_RI, thanks for keeping us posted. Did you uninstall that application by pressing/holding down the icon until the (X) appears? Tap the (X) to delete it. Once the application has been deleted, you will need to reset the network settings on your device in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Power that device off/on and then download the application again. Additionally, we also recommend that you disable Wi-Fi and connect to our network to test the messaging feature again.
