AT&T #1 again

riiight
Verizon added 872,000 cell phone customers, people you can call. This means they have 94 million people you can call for free. Verizon doesn't count Connected Devices to this 94 Million. Verizon also added 86,000 iPad/Galaxy Tabs customers which are part of the Connected Devices. If you add them together, you get 102.2 total customers.
AT&T added around 400,000 cell phone customers, the ones you can call. The rest were Connected Devices which AT&T adds to their total customer amount. This is where the 95 million come from.
So, Verizon is still way ahead of AT&T.
Also, Postpaid Churn was lower on Verizon at 1.01% vs AT&Ts 1.15%.
I can't disagree that VZW has a better network for making phone calls. Loved the coverage and reliability, but the GOTCHA! business practices became so tiresome that opting for an inferior network should give VZW corporate executives a reason to rethink how they treat their customers.
It should speak volumes that when a VZW customer seeks refuge with AT&T, a company long famous for being difficult with its cusstomers, that should pretty much give pause to anyone who thinks VZW is the cat's pajamas.

...all companies have issue and the are generally the same issue... the only real difference is the device line-up.
Clearly- 70,000 employees with that attitude can't be wrong.
Believing that exclusivity in device offerings is the only way to differentiate your company is going to end very, very badly.
Relying exclusively on someone else to make a decent product so that your company can succeed is a dangerous way to expect paychecks to keep rolling in year over year.

Math is not needed, go to each companies website and you will see. at@t has a total of 95 million including connected devices. Verizon Wireless has 101 million including connected devices.
This would be the correct answer!
