AT&T suing Verzion over using outdate 3G maps on ads - Page 2

yizuman · 11-04-2009, 10:48 AM

AT&T is greedy, ever since they got broken up by the government when they were found to be a monopoly. Now AT&T is buying back companies that was broken up by Big Brother while under Bush Jr.

Companies like AT&T never did like competition and will do anything to get get to and stay on top as a phone company and will do anything to destroy competitions so they can rake in all the dough for themselves.

Since Verizon has the bigger pie of the business, AT&T started looking for excuses to steal that piece of that pie. Therefore the reason why they're pulling something out of their ass to sue them. It won't hold in court, if Verizon's attorney is finding the same stuff as you are, they'll beat the suit.

I assume you don't visit out of country with mobile before.

My family and I use prepaid sim card for out of country before.

some people do not want to use their phone there. damn thief, you know?

Then it's pointless to bring mobile to other country. Just buy prepaid sim card with mobile.

You want to use SIM card from USA for other country? Good luck with bill.

I don't think AT&T is using outdated 3g coverage at all. I've driven to areas where there's no 3g coverage...it's just like they show on the map.

On Verizon ads it clearly show there is no 3G coverage in South Dakota when AT&T do have 3G coverage in that state.

South Dakota 3G coverage is not even shown on AT&T map either.

I travel a lot for my work and in several small town I been to this year have 3G coverage that not even show on map yet.

That's not what reason because att is suing and att is just suing over white background on coverage map.
AT&T's lawsuit over Verizon ads could backfire, some argue

Verizon use exactly att 3G coverage that what att has on their website.

I saw that commercial earlier today. I guess it was already too late for them to stop it from being shown on TV.

Best of all, you don't have to prove that you are deaf unlike AT&T for iPhone data only plan. That's really lame! Even better, you can get additional discount if you are FIOS customer. Just ask VZ wireless sales rep.

qwerty123 · 11-09-2009, 07:28 PM

why crap each other? if your pager or device work be happy

Oh really, I don't live in Verizon landline territory but I wish, southeast US are att landline territory, except for some part like Tampa metro.

It's a business. ATT should have updated their site and because they didn't, verizon took an advantage of it. people go to their site and think "wow, it is true!"

If you are running a business to attract customers, you better make sure your website is updated. I seen so many outdated sites and it tell me alot about the company. It is not Verizon's job to check to ask if their site is updated. They have their own job to worry about.

If ATT updated their site, then verizon should stop showing the commerical or people think they are lying (not that they aren't lying in the first place, but they are proving the point that ATT don't take the internet world too seriously)
