~ Their plans are pretty similar. ~
Also I think verizon insurance is cheaper too at 6.99
In our area, AT&T is also $6.99, and although a local AT&T 'Authorized Dealer' automatically over-subscribed us with it, it's not required to have (w/ AT&T), so we dropped it.
Hello all!
my company has required me to get a mobile device for my work as Site IT admin...and I have decided upon the Note 2 for it's awesome marriage of tablet features with the communications of a phone.
My question is:
if signal quality is the same in my area town.....is there a reason to choose either At&T or Verizon over each other? Are there things/features that the two carriers differ on?
Thanks in advance!!! I can't wait to get this!!!!
I'm not up on the various plan & shared plan comparisons, but one other thing you might want to check-out or consider? is whether or not your employer subsidizes any of your phone hardware & plan costs. My wifes' company does, and the amount her company subsidizes with AT&T is considerably way more than with Verizon! It includes hardware, accessories, and contract plans. In fact, for two state-of-the-art smartphones (until a few months ago? we had iPhones for the last 4 yrs.) we pay less per month, (with way more choices of which smartphones we have to choose from), than those who use the typical
Straight Talk (pre-paid, pay for only the minutes you use, flat cost) type of services.
So you might consider checking that out with your employer.
Also, we switched from Verizon a couple of years ago, after being with them (and their predecessor's) for 21 years (me? since 1989, my wife? since 1991), and after all those years . . they never once offered us any kind of loyalty discount of any sort.
I guess that's not very typical for
any carrier to do, but Verizon was also a pain, imo, to deal with whenever I had to dispute over-charges.
With AT&T, the few times I've had to call their CS to dispute over-charges, they've been really pleasant to deal with; immediately deleting the over-charges I've disputed, and a few times even reduced our bill by MORE than I was asking them to, whilst promptly giving us a new reduced bill total due! In fact, twice they (AT&T) also offered us a small, but much appreciated credit, off our next months bill? just for our inconvenience of having to call them!
Perhaps just a few more things to consider . . .
