Ipad1 or 2-ATT or Verizon - rural US and Europe

Here's my dilemma. We travel to rural US where Verizon is the only choice-the ATT network is useless but we also travel to Europe where my understanding is the Verizon network is useless. There is no compelling reason right now to get an Ipad2 (unless connectivity makes the decision).
Any suggestions on how to be able to get connectivity in both rural US and Europe.
Thanks
Cindy

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.

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!

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 (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.

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?

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.

Bad experience with Verizon Fios Internet and Customer Service

I had an extremely bad experience with Verizon Fios Internet service and I will never use Verizon again.
In August 2014, I called and installed the Verizon Fios Internet and phone bundle. I asked the customer agent several times if I will be charged anything before the installation of the Internet and phone service. She said, 'No, we will only start charging after the Internet and phone are installed at your apartment'. I went to the store and picked up the router and phone and installed it at home by myself. The router did not work. I called Tech support and they said it will take several days for another available agent to come and look into the issue. I decided to discontinue the service and closed the account that same night.
At the end of the month, I received a bill of $80 of activation fee for the internet service. Nothing was ever activated, my internet router did not work, and I got charged an activation fee for a service that I did not even start using. From August to December, I called customer service over 10 times and some of them said they will waive it while the others said it's a non-refundable activation fee. One lady said, 'Ma'am, the activation fee starts when you placed the order, the warehouse received it and packed the router in the boxes....' Isn't that ridiculous? If that's the case, please ask all your customer representative to say a clause before new customers open their account: Are you aware that you will be charged a non-refundable activation fee once you open the account regardless of whether or not you use the service or not.
So after 3 months (November 2014), I decided to get out of all these troubles and paid off my $80 activation fee. They put the bill in the collection agency and I called them and paid the overdue balance. Then in December 2014, I received a statement saying I have a $3.11 overdue balance. The collection agency told me that they will charge me for the whole activation fee and a $3 transaction fee for the transaction. So now Verizon came back and said I owed them the $3 because I paid the collection agency their transaction fee.
I am very disappointed and furious about the whole Verizon operating system. Charging a customer for an activation fee for a service s/he has not consumed or used does not make any business sense. In addition, they do not know how to coordinate with the collection agency on overdue bills. Give the customer a heads-up that they will be charged a transaction fee on top of the overdue balance, and that transaction fee does not count towards clearing the balance.
I have completely lost my confidence in Verizon albeit the many good feedback from my friends.

Hi crystallau52,
Sorry you are having difficulty. An agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or to help you resolve your issue.

Verizon Customer Service and Samsung Galaxy S III

A little over 3 weeks ago I purchased a Samsung Galaxy III phone from Verizon.
The exact store is:
224 North Weber Road,
Bolingbrook, IL 60440
(630) 226-4660
When I purchased the phone the person who sold me the phone told me that I had 30 days, If I was not completely satisfied with the phone I could return it and get my money back. However, he assured me that I would LOVE my new phone.
I had just come off using a Blackberry for 4 years with no problems AT ALL! I loved that phone, but I thought it would be nice to get up to the 21st century phone standards and get a touch screen phone. Well, I went for the best…… or so I thought.
As soon as I got my new phone in the car, I started using the speaker phone hands free. The speakerphone began to cut in and out and the person, my husband whom I most speak with could not understand what I was saying. I used the speakerphone on my Blackberry without issue. I did not think much of it because I was so happy to have my new phone. I thought maybe I was just in a bad area etc… Well the issue persisted also when I called my bank, my husband’s mother, my mother and it did not matter where I was the speaker phone did not work properly. Then my phone started to drop calls. Again, I thought it may have been the area, but it started happening a lot. So now I was really beginning to wonder. Having though I was still under the 30 DAY warranty, I gave it a few more days. I began having to take out the battery to reset the unit because apps where disappearing and when I went to re-install them the unit indicated that app was already on my phone and wanted to know if I would like to uninstall the app. I had to once again take out the battery and have the unit restart. Well, I could not take it anymore. With all of the things going wrong only a couple of weeks after purchase, I had to go into the store and see what they could do for me. I went in and explained my situation to the manger who was greeting people at the door, I think her name was Katie or something like that. She put me in line on her IPad just like everyone else for someone to assist me. I was assigned to a very pleasant associate who took the battery out of my phone and said try this to see if this works for you. I, not knowing very much about the technology said ok and walked out of the store. Well it kept on getting worse. I went back to the store on Sunday, September 30th 2012 asking for my money back or a new replacement for the phone. They would not assist me. I started with a regular associate and went up the chain finally getting Katie (the store manager) who repeated everything that everyone else said. So, obviously, she has no managerial skills at all. She stated that they would have to totally reset my phone to see if some apps where conflicting etc. Isn’t that what you purchase a Smartphone for??? To put apps on it and calendars etc. I just downloaded a calendar and Xfinity because that is what I have my e-mail on. I don’t’ think that was the issue, but you could not tell Katie anything.
I wanted a new phone replacement or money back as I spent $300.00 dollars on this phone. She would not have it. She said we have to go through the proper trouble shooting because I was out of the 14 day return policy!!!!. OMGsh 14 days???? I was told 30! Had I known this, I would have gotten my money back the first time I took the phone in for the issues I was having. At that time, I was still under the 14 day policy! I proceeded to express my opinion to everyone in the store stating “Don’t buy a Samsung Galaxy III” They are pieces of **bleep**. Well, needless to say Katie did not like that and she set my phone down in front of me and said, if I am going to swear, she is not going to help me. Ok, then I re-worded my statement to tell everyone in the store “Don’t buy a Samsung Galaxy III they are pieces of garbage” I cleaned it up a little, but still got my point across. I also told her that I would blog about it and send a letter to the corporate office of both Samsung and Verizon. I don’t think that she believed me, but here I am taking my time for this stuff. Time I don’t have much of, but I feel very strongly about this situation. I was lied to and Katie had the nerve to tell me that if I get a replacement phone from them, it would be a refurbished unit even though I just purchased the unit 3 weeks earlier. THAT is unacceptable by any standards!!!
Needless to say I left the store totally dissatisfied with Verizon’s customer service and the Samsung Galaxy III phone. I have not put any unusual apps on my phone nor have I downloaded a new calendar to my phone and I am still having the same issues with dropped calls and bad speaker phone. I will not put any time into this phone for them to tell me they need to reset the whole darn thing again! I am not going to bother going back to that Verizon store, because I know that they will not lift a finger to do anything about it.
My husband wants an IPhone 5. We will not be purchasing this from Verizon and I will probably eat the cancellation fee and go through AT&T so that my husband can get his IPhone. I will never purchase another thing from Verizon, this is not the first time that that they have let me down.
I hope that this letter, blog, facebook, YouTube note will open some eyes with regard to Verizon customer service and the Samsung Galaxy III phone. I don’t know if it will, but with social media as it is, I hope it DOES!
Thanks for nothing Verizon!!!
Sincerely
Donna {edited for privacy}

Using a Verizon Lte phone in Europe with local SIM

I have a Verizon iPhone 4S and travel to France frequently. I am able to use my phone with a local French SIM, and it works fine. I am planning to get an iPhone 6, which will be 4G Lte. Will I be able to use that phone in France the same way I can use my 4S, which uses a micro sim card?

Thank you, but that isn't what I'm asking. I know it will be unlocked. As I said, I have an iPhone 4S, which I use in France. I am not familiar, having never used it, with 4G Lte technology, and what I was wondering was whether the Verizon iPhone 6, with that technology, will be able to use a local SIM in France. Do they make those phones, Verizon LTE, with two radios, LTE and GSM? Is it a GSM SIM that one would use in France, or is there only one SIM, which could be temporarily replaced with a local SIM?
Thanks again for your answer.

I am using a verizon email address and microsoft office for mac outlook program to manage my emails. Does any one know if the apple outlook version offers the ability to save emails as a pdf so that I can save it to my hard drive and how to access?

This is the Microsoft forum site that parallels what Apple has:

It's not uncommon for MS employees who work with the Mac side of the business to help there. All in all a useful resource for Office:Mac

HT4528 I have a verizon iphone 5c and I took out the SIM card just being curious and put it back in, now I can only use my phone on wifi and I can't use 4G or LTE strictly wifi. How can I fix this?

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try resetting the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
If that fails, you may possibly have damaged the SIM. Verizon will need to give you a new one.
Best of luck.

Apps disabled on the Verizon Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge

Samsung Galaxy S6: Verizon, AT&T remove Microsoft apps | BGR
I was curious about which features would be removed from the galaxy s6/ s6 edge on Verizon; Verizon has been known to remove features! (Which might have influenced a consumer's decision to buy it in the first place). Anyway, I saw the article above today, and thought it might be helpful for anyone that hasnt bought an S6 yet. I feel that if Verizon removes apps and/or features it should also be a standard of practice to share what has they've disabled or removed.
Verizon S6 & S6 Edges do not come with:
Smart Manager
One drive (& 100 GB free storage)
Skype, One Note, & Office Mobile preloaded

Please be advised--- Apparently Verizon has also disabled Samsung's stock browser. Subsequently this has also removed the feature for fingerprint sign-in...
