Verizon’s iPhone 4 announcement has captured the collective consciousness of the wireless nation.
That means AT&T is working hard to discourage its customers from switching to the nation’s largest and most reliable 3G network.
What’s its strategy? AT&T will go in areas they think are game-changers for customers.
Verizon will be prepared! Here’s is Verizon’s counter to common objections to switching!
Simultaneous Voice and Data Sessions
Verizon iPhone 4 customers can make a voice call on our network and browse the Internet over a public or home WiFi connection at the same time.
•The real question for customers is what is it “they” want to do because most features are supported on the phone.
•Some functions work simultaneously on our iPhone 4. Have these common examples in your back pocket:
◦If you’re using a navigation application and receive a call, the navigation pauses while you take the call and resumes when you hang up.
◦You can also check contacts and browse for items already on the phone while a call is in progress.
Global Communications
Our iPhone 4 will work in approximately 40 countries that use CDMA technology.
•Get to know the list of countries where Verizon has CDMA roaming, and make sure you have a few common business and vacation travel destinations ready to mention. CDMA roaming is available in over 40 countries – including Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, India and most of the Carribean Islands.
•In countries that use a GSM technology platform, Verizon offer a global program that loans customers a country-compatible device at no additional charge for up to three weeks.
•Customers can check out all the details at verizonwireless.com/global
3G Network – Speed & Reliability
Verizon has made a commitment to maintain and support our 3G network for many years to come, and Verizon continues to expand the 3G network even as 4G gets rolled out.
AT&T claims its data network is faster than our 3G CDMA Network.
Verizon Wireless has the nation’s largest and most reliable 3G network, and that means we believe customers will be very happy with both the voice and data service they receive.
•Here’s a great question to pose: “How many Gs do you need?”
•Customers are getting a great smartphone that provides a host of applications that help them manage their lives, stay connected to friends and family and much more.
•And if they truly want and need a real 4G experience, Verizon Wireless offers 4G LTE, with a host of consumer devices coming during the first-half of 2011.
