ATT or Verizon (USA)?

If one doesn't care about surfing while conversing, is there any consensus about which service is better for a new iPhone subscriber? I guess better means better phone reception in more places, effective speed, and reliability.

Do you have cell phone service now? If so, I guess it is safe to assume it is not with ATT or Verizon.
You can check the coverage maps for each carrier where you live and make some new friends by asking someone you see with an iPhone which carrier they are with and if they are happy with it.
You can return an iPhone for payment credit within 30 days of the purchase date less a 10% restocking fee and cancel the ATT contract within the same 30 day period or at the same time the iPhone is returned for payment credit.
I assume the same is available with Verizon.

Hello guys I have a question,or rather a problem. how can I detach yourself iPhone operator Verizon USA? I mean as to call and what to say? I live in Ukraine, and the opportunity came up for to buy cheap 4S 16GB. but on Verizon. when I insert the original SIM card Verizon and I try to activate, says: (error occurred activation, if this problem happen again please call at +1................). this is the hour to use it through the R-SIM 9 pro. everything works нормальнои calls and Internet and SMS, but I want to officially unlock. beforehand thank you

Well, you managed to find this support forum didn't you and you have an internet connection don't you? Then if you have all these things, go and find the number by going to the Verizon website and it should not be hard to find the number.
As for speaking English, this is not really our problem and it is surely something that you should have thought about before buying the phone in the first place.
You also need to know that Verizon in the US is a cdma operator and if you purchased an iPhone 4s, then it should not be locked. The Verizon 4s comes with a sim card tray that should be unlocked out of the box for use internatinoally on gsm networks, so all you should need to do is open the sim card tray and insert a sim card and you should pick up the local gsm network.
A cdma phone does not actually use a sim card, so there would be no original sim card with the phone because when it is used in the US it will pick up the Verizon cdma network without a sim card. The sim card is only for use on a gsm network which will not work in the US, but is designed to work outside the US. Open the sim card tray and insert your own local sim card and the phone should work and should not be locked.
Other than this, if you purchased the phone in the first place, it is the responsibility of the previous owner to cancel the Verizon contract. This is nothing to do with you, so contact the seller and ask them.
Other wise, go to the Verizon website and look up the number and call them. As they are the phone company, ultimately, they are the only ones who can help you.

My iphone 4s is locked verizon usa

wath can i do to unlock my iphone 4s (lock verizon usa)? tanck you!

If you're not a Verizon customer, nothing. Verizon will unlock the SIM slot of the iPhone 4S ONLY for current Verizon customers in good standing to use while travelling internationally.
If you are a Verizon customer, call them. If you are not, sell the phone to someone in the US who can use it and buy one you can actually use.

Can an Ipad 2 3G bought in US be used in Spain with a local phone company contract or is it locked to ATT or Verizon? I am buying it here in the US but will be using it primarily in Spain. Thanks

ATT should be okay, but not Verizon. Look at the right panel, under "More like this", other users have asked similar questions.

HT1689 which ipad is good for Panama att or verizon

which ipad is good for Panama att or verizon ?

AT&T by far.
GSM dominates the overall worldwide market by a significant margin.
Check AT&T's website for how many GSM network "partners" they have throughout the world compared to Verizon.
Copied from AT&T's website.
Stay connected while traveling to more than 220 countries and on more than 140 cruise ships, and access email and the Internet in more than 195 countries.
I believe Verizon has 35 countries.

Can you use a non-Verizon USA Prepaid SIM card in a HTC Incredible 2?

I've investigated this forum,and others on the web and there is some confusion to the right answer to my question. I also got different answers from Verizon support. So here's my particular situation.
I renewed my Verizon plan that included a new Motorola RAZR Max HD several months ago to replace my HTC Incredible 2 .I have successfully used my new Motorola phone with overseas SIM cards.
After having the HTC unlocked, I was able to successfully use the HTC phone overseas with various foreign SIM cards. I had initially tested the phone with a USA T-Mobile SIM card with no problems.
This week I decided to give my mother the phone (mainly for pictures, etc.) and use a prepaid H2O SIM calling card. The HTC phone shows the right H2O information such as SIM & IMEI number but the telephone number is not the H2O Sim one but my old telephone number that I'm using on the Motorola. I tried a factory reset but didn't help.
1. Can I use non-Verizon USA SIM cards in the HTC phone? If yes, how do I do it?
2. If not, why did the T-mobile one worked?
3. If I find a way to change the phone number to my new SIM card's telephone number, will that work?
4. I read about "rooting" a phone, will this work?
5. Some told me that it was illegal for Verizon to monopolize the phone. Is this true?
Thanks for the help!! Tilly Saint

I understand it's important to obtain the correct information tillysaint, and I'm happy to help you. The device is designed to work on our network. If the software was altered to work on the network you mentioned, some service and features are not available. In addition, the network you're trying to use may not be compatible with H20. The phone is a 3G phone which means if the network you want to use is on GSM, this will not work.

CSpire iPhone in comparison to ATT and Verizon iPhones

What is the technology of the CSpire iPhone in comparison to the ATT and Verizon iPhones?

It's a CDMA iPhone. Just like any other CDMA iPhone. It is locked to CSpire and can not be unlocked.
What "technology" are you talking about?

Better resale value att or verizon

Which one is better resale value ATT or Verizon for Ipad 2 if i want to sell it in future ?
Say wi fi, 3G, 64GB and ATT or verizon..
Or doesnt matter ??
Thanks!
Jake

I guess it depends if the purchaser wanted a CDMA or GSM iPad. The GSM model would not be worth anything to a Verizon customer and the CDMA model would not be worth anything to an AT&T customer.

ATT or Verizon

Not sure if I can ask this question here...
In your opinion/experience, which carrier offers the best over all LTE? Verizon or ATT.
I currently have Verizon for my current iPad, and I'm generally happy with it. But I've been hearing good things about ATT. I'm going to get a new iPad and am trying to decide if I should stick to Verizon or get the new iPad with ATT.
What are your thoughts/recommendations?

Do you have cell phone service now? If so, I guess it is safe to assume it is not with ATT or Verizon.
You can check the coverage maps for each carrier where you live and make some new friends by asking someone you see with an iPhone which carrier they are with and if they are happy with it.

3G with ATT verses Verizon...

I've read that the IP4 S is faster downloading in 3G with ATT verses Verizon under ideal conditions. Is the same thing true with the iPad 2 with ATT verses Verizon?

Network speed is network speed, so they would be the same. But verizon vs att is really dependant on exactly where you plan to use the device. Each of the carriers has places where they do good, and places where they do not. If you can, run your own test in a place where you will be using the network, doing the kind of things you would plan to do. In theory, att network is slightly faster. But that does not always play out in real life.

Switching iPhone 4s from ATT to Verizon in Santa Fe, NM

Hi All,
From the subject line: I am currently living in Washington DC and ATT service is reasonably good. In Santa Fe, NM where I am moving, ATT has awful service and Verizon has a much better reputation. I am considering switching upon my move. What are the significant differences between ATT and Verizon on the iPhone? I understand that data network access and phone calls cannot happen simultaneously. Not a situation I usually encounter. Are there any other significant differences that I should know about?
Thanks.....

At some point will I be asked to set up the phone as a Verizon device (I am porting my number from AT&T)? Or does iTunes/Apple read the serial number of my phone and "know" it is a Verizon unit tied to my specific number? How exactly does this step work?
The phone will come with activation instructions. The activation servers will "know" what carrier the phone belongs to. You will probably have to call an 800 number to finish accepting the contract.
Did you specify in the ordering process that you wanted to port over your AT&T number? If yes, the phone will be activated with your number. The port process usually takes about 5-30 minutes. During that time, you can make outgoing calls from either phone but only your AT&T phone will ring. Once the port process is complete, you'll get a text on your Verizon phone. At that point, the AT&T phone will no longer be connected to your number.
If you didn't request the port, you'll need to call customer service.
Yes, you MUST leave your AT&T account active until the port process is complete or you will lose your number.
Best of luck.

In my area StraightTalk uses both ATT and Verizon cell towers.

How do I know which model iPhone to choose to get Verizon's towers? I would like to purchase an iPhone 5 used. I live about 120 miles direcly SE of Wash DC that gets poor coverage from BOTH.
I already have an iPhone 4 on ATT using an antenna on the roof with a booster in the house. Visitors using Verizon seem to get about a 10% better signal, but that 10% means a lot. Thanks.

Steve... if you had truly marginal service from ATT ..and know people who had less-marginal service from Verizon, then you'd want to switch for a bird-in-the-hand - today. I would expect in three years, a whiole 'nother service may be available...
I keep a wonderfuly cheap Net10, flip phone in my truck..as a handy 'pay phone'. I have 8,500 minutes accumulated. (a new iP5 and the current iP4 is used by my wife)
... I must add, that I so much hate Verizon because of their crappy service as the former monolopy carrier to both my home and business that I cut the hardwire at both places and would refuse to enter a direct contract with them ever again.
I have Dish Network for Sat. connections for my Macs at home.. an ATT data plan for an iPad ..and Comcast phone and internet at my business. ..but, Verizon's cell tower seems a little closer (or stronger signal) to my home.
