NEW iPhone 5 - Coming to Verizon Wireless
By Tech God
The all new iPhone 5 coming to Verizon Wireless
The new iPhone 5 is coming to Verizon Wireless! That's right, it will be making it's debut on the reliable Verizon Wireless network in October of 2011. The iPhone 5 is sleeker and sexier than the iPhone 4 and you will get full, unlimited access on Verizon's 4G (LTE) Long Term Evolution network.
For example, when using AT&T, you can not use Skype unless you're on WIFI because AT&T prevents it... you can't use Sling Player (or sling box) unless on WIFI because AT&T prevents that too... (they're a little scared of their network handling all that data) AND with the iPhone 4, you can not use Face Time (Video chat) unless on WIFI! With Verizon Wireless, you will no longer have any of these data restrictions and you will be able to move 10 times faster using the New iPhone 5 on Verizon's 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) network!
The down side is we still do not know if Verizon has made changes for the iPhone 5 to allow you to be on the phone and use data at the same time. Right now, AT&T's network makes that possible. Also, AT&T's new 4G network HSDPA 14.4 - already implemented in some countries - is also looking at LTE, a truly next-generation network. So basically, you will be able to get the iPhone 5 on Verizon Wireless with 4G speeds via LTE or on AT&T with HSDPA 4G Network and now on Sprint who has the very first 4G network.
The new iPhone 5 boasts a lot of HOT features and upgrades ... such as:
High Definition Video Recording
High Definition 8 megapixel camera
Messaging indicator light
Multi-Tasking
Custom SMS tones
Extended battery life
iChat with the all new iMessage
True built in GPS
FaceTime Video Calling
iPhone 5 makes video calling a reality, and now not only on Wi-Fi. You will now be able to FaceTime (video chat) on Verizon's 4G Long Term Evolution network!
iCloud which allows for wireless sync with iTunes and all other devices.
Custom text messaging tones and custom email account tones
Verizon Wireless has been proven to have excellent coverage in more areas. But AT&T has had the iPhone longer and is able to service you better with the long standing experience it has. And now the iPhone will be available on Sprint! Will the iPhone 5 be better on Sprint?
What do you think? (See what others are saying below).
Comments
I think iPhone should stay with AT&T. I have no problems with my 3gs
Sprint needs to get the iphone - the 4G expanding coverage, overall better pricing/flexible plans combined with the Iphone4 would be incredible...it would be incredible.
I am going to wait till Verizon teams up with the 4G. I would jump ahead and get the Android, just for Verizon, but now that I kow Verizon will provide service for the new iPhone I will wait until January.
I am definatly going to wait until verizon has it. Because they have good prices. Plus my dad wont let me get a new phone unless its on verizon. hahaha
I was with at&t and I always got dropped calls n no service in my house! So I went to verizion. So far so good with verizion. When I was with at&t I had the iPhone and I miss it so much. There for I hope n can't wait till the iPhone cone come out to verizion! I have the Droid right know but it is not like the iPhone. I am sorry! So I hope the iPhone comes to verizion.
PSH Verizon DOES HAVE THE MOST COVERAGE. I don't care what anybody says. i'VE been with t-mobile, sprint, and have friends with at&t among other phone carriers. I WILL always have at least a bar no matter where I'm at and my friends will always have to ask to borrow my phone to call out. Not only that, but Verizon has EXCELLENT CUSTOMER service. I've had all my complaints fixed quickly and leave feeling satisfied. Verizon is worth every penny, I will never leave this network!!!
verizon is the the top dog of networks and once they get the iphone they will be unbeatable. i have the blackberry tour and will switch to the iphone when it comes out.
I WASH VERIZON GETS THE I PHONE 4G WILL BEE VREY NICE THE WILL GET ALL THE BUSNISSE FROM AT&T
VERIZON IS THE BEST CELLPHONE COMPANY.
I cant wait until verizon gets the iphone. i have been waiting to get it until that day and will def stand in line or order early, whatever i have to do to get it. I love verizons service. ive had a bunch of other companies and wont go to another network. january 2011. my BB will do until then!!! YAY IPHONE and VERIZON!
Well AT&T is d best company I have d iPhone 4 d phone is great... We have 5 lines under d same plan.. We only pay 200 per month... N we have a back flip 2 iPhones and 2 regular phones I think it's a great deal
I love Verizon and the iPhone. But I have had to move from Verizon because of prices, and I am under 18 so I can't get a contract. As long as verizon can sell the iPhone and service under the cost of ATT, I'm in.
I can't wait until Verizon gets the iphone. The only reason I've switched to AT&T was the iphone and now that Verizon will get it, I am definitely switching back to. In my opinion, Verizon has the best reception.
i think verizon should have it its the best because i am dying for tht iphone
Verizon all the way!!! I've had other carriers like AT&T/Sprint and always had dropped calls since I switched to Verizon over 8 years ago I never had a complain about their service. They got the most realiable wireless network. Let me tell you I went to Mexico for 3 weeks and drove from Cali to Jalisco and Colima MX and I couldn't beleive how clear the reception was, I was impressed. The plans are a bit pricy compared to other providers but not to far off. I hope Verizon does get it, cuz I want it. But let me tell you if it does be prepare to pay more out of pocket because I'm sure they gonna come up with more required features that are needed to run Iphone 4 because as it is a lot of the their phones you pay minutes plans + tex plan + Data plan of 9.99 or 29.99 or higher depending on the phone so plan for the next plus to be added when the Iphone comes to Verizon.
I cant wait to drop AT&T like a rock! I am so tired of the dropped calls, spotty coverage, slow service and all of this on a 3Gs phone. More bars in more places??? I am suprised there hasn't been a false advertising lawsuit!
I think that all of the major carriers should get the Iphone. That means more competitive pricing and the public wins. The monopoly that AT@T and Apple secured originally needs to broken. I think that Apple realizes the tremendous economic potential for letting another carrier carry there product.
Verizon probably in a skeptical view will not get the iPhone. This rumor has been circling since 2008 and have yet to see it. Apple likes there relationship with AT&T and AT&T will pay whatever they want to keep apple in there grasps. Att is the number one telecommunications company in the world. Until 4g is ready available in almost the whole united states will I see apple redesigning there whole phone to support inferior CDMA networking. Because only 2% of the world uses that style setup for cellphones. So making a phone sold in many different companies means a gsm version will win.
Have had verizonwireless for over ten years, kept it when we moved to Alaska and have not been disappointed. My husband had to get AT&T for work, he loves his iPhone has commented that I get better service. Really really hoping this is true about verizonwireless getting the iPhone, I have the droid and much prefer the simpleness of the iPhone.
Apple has Put in a large order for CDMA Chips recently...which should me the verizon wireless iPhone version will most likely run on 3g and 4g networks making it a hybrid phone since the 4g/LTE network use gsm sim cards. Verizon and At&t have joint agreement to build the 4g/LTE network. There are alot of rumors that they are in the prototype stage with the new iPhone for the 4g network.
From my conversations with friends on AT&T, if Verizon gets the iPhone 4G there will be a mass exodus from AT&T. Verizon market share will be way up. Will the Verizon network handle the additional surge/load?
I have been holding off on getting an Iphone until they finally went with VERIZON
It's way less money and I'm sick of dropped calls!
Iphone or no Iphone, im staying with verizon. Remember for the people that say that ATT has more people on there network they wrong verizon has more people on there network and still works great. Service very good i work underground Verizon and Sprint while roaming on Verizon have cellphone coverage ATT and Tmobile dont zero nada. and im downtown.
I will definatly be buying the iPhone as soon as it comes to verizon! i can't freaking wait!!!
obviously who ever thinks that the iphone won't go to other networks is retarded. Why do you think apple would want to stick with only one company if they could make so much more money by releasing the iphone to an ever expanding group of cell phone users? The only reason they stuck with at&t in the first place was because the iphone was only an experimental phone in its early stages. Now that it has established itself, it will dominate the market on other networks. And if those other networks can sell it, they definitely will offer it too.
It is best ph
Verizon customer service sucks! Unlike ATT I could of got a black berry pearl/curve w/out the internet plan as long as i had unlimited text which is all i want. However w/ Verizon, I had to get the unlimited data plan to get a black berry pearl/curve. at least w/ att you can customize your plan how and when you like. with verizon you can't! i hope verizon goes to hell w/ their shady rules such as this.
Who ever you are "ME," you're a retard! You have no idea what its like being in the cell phone industry. if your a** was smart about att having the phone first because it was a test/experiment, do yourself a favor and jump off the empire state building. Verizon was actually offer the contract first Appl claim and quoted in the beginning. Verizon decline their offer when the iphone was first introduce. on another note, now verizon wants the iphone cause of its success to the public. again study and learn kid before making an idiotic comment such as you did 3 days ago!
If Verizon gets it then every carrier should carry it and every store including authorized retailers should be able to sell it this is supposed to be a free market. If apple doesn't do so than they will have Google as a major compeditor because Google is letting every one sell their and they are progressing faster than apple did in terms of market share. Google is ramping up uptown be a major player in the smart phone craze. Apple stuck to the com 64 in the past and lets hope history doesn't repeat it self.
I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED MY DARE BROKE AND I HAVE A CRAPPY FLIP PHONE AND I ASKED MY DAD AND HE SAID NO ONLY VERSION AND I SAID IT IS HE READ IT AND SAID MAYBE BUT NOW HE IS GETTING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if Verizon wireless gets the I phone It will be a wrap... ATT will have to come up with something different to get back on top.This phone looks great Im deffinatly getting one.
Since apple makes sooo much money, should start their own phone service
I really hope the iPhone will be offered by Verizon! I have the Blackberry & love it but will most definitely get an iPhone in a heartbeat ONLY if Verizon carries it...I'm holding out & hoping til January 2011... =)
For those who would change from AT&T to Verizon. Won't you lose your
unlimited data plan switching? There's only a 2gb data limit plan now. This could cause a problem for those wanting to switch carriers. I've had Verizon before but they hiked the plan prices so I switched to AT&T after they fully merged from Cingular. I
agree that Verizon customer service sucks compared to
AT&T. It looks like you can't have both of best worlds. I might consider going back to
Verizon, but only if they will give me my Unlimited Data Plan for my iPhone too with no
hassle!!
AT&T has an exclusive contract with Apple in AMERICA, and until 2011, verizon will never see the light of the iphone...wait thats only 90 days away. Vodophone, verizons European company already has the iphone, so its happening so all of you verizon haters should stfu.
im gonna wait and see. they have said for years now that verizon is going to get the iphone. I hope its true this time!! My dad likes verizon and their plans too much and wont change
Its just a matter of time before the worlds best phone unites with the worlds best cell phone company.
do u guys know how much the price for this is gonna be cuz i hve verizon nd i want an iphone so yea....
Most of you people need to do your homework before commenting. Yes the iPhone is coming to Verizon just like the andriod platform went to sprint. Now, people saying the iPhone is better than android? That's debatable. Andriod has many many more apps and you can do more overall with the andriod platfrom. iPhone is more reliable than andriod at this point but Google is "supposed" to be working on it. As a person who has used both the iPhone and currently has an andriod phone, I would much rather go with the andriod and Verizon, but that's my personal preference. Worrying about if Verizon's network can handle all the data? The andriod platform uses more resources than the iphone by a long shot including skype with no problems with the network.
Right now as it stands with my single line i pay a little over $100 a month. $59.99 (450 anytime minutes unlimited talk and text to any mobile including other networks) 29.99 (for unlimited data unlike at&t) I also pay 7.99 for insurance (no point in having something expensive if it's not insured).
As far as customer service, I've had good and bad reps with both Verizon and At&t. Customer service all depends on who you talk to not the company as a whole.
In my opinion (that's just, an opinion), When the iPhone hits the Verizon market At&t will have a hard time competing due to overall service and plans compared to Verizon's. Yeah Verizon is just a little bit more expensive, but that $10-$20 more is well worth it. You get what you pay for.
I think verizon should totally get it because they have the best service nd att has sucky service calls always drop!!!!!!!!1
I Have the Droid 2 now, I CANNOT WAIT TILL THIS PHONE HITS!!! I WILL HAVE IT ME AN MY SISTER!!!!
I agree with Keith, you people need to do some research before you comment on how it's never going to happen. It has already been confirmed that the iPhone 4 will be coming to Verizon in 2011. They are still testing between CDMA and 4G the last I had looked into it.
I have been waiting for years! Iwas just about to break down and buy the droid... now i will wait till jan. please dont' just be a rumour!
Anybody who thinks verizon will never get the iphone is ignorant and retarded. Apple's exclusive contract with AT&T ends in 2011. It's in Apple's best interest to create an iphone for verizion and other CDMA networks because it will dramatically increase their customer base. The real question is...How will AT&T convince their current iphone users to stick with their undependable network?? haha
Need to waight fir my iPhone 4 contract to Finnish when does deffinetly getting. Iphone5
"Verizon 4G" store around the corner from me! That's what it says on the store sign in GREAT BIG LETTER/NUMBER..!!!
I can't wait. I left AT&T early to go to Verizon to get the Iphone 4. AT&T coverage sucks.
Verizon is starting the 4G network right now. It is supposed to be up and running around San Diego by December. Just in time for the IPhone. Go to verizon's site, they have a new coverage map that you can check 4G coverage based on an address.
verzion is a company i have been a verzoin customer sinc, umm 2002. trust me the coverage is amazing. an i travel alot to the east an west coast trust me go wiht verzion wheather they have the i phone or not. but i did think about switching to AT&T jus for the i phone. umm if the two get together, oooweeee chesse burgers.
I cannot wait for Verizon to get the Iphone!! I have been a Verizon Wireless customer for 5 years and love the coverage. currently I have a Blackberry and HATE it! All of my family and friends have the iphone and it seems so much more user friendly!! Will be upgrading when it debutes!
the Iphone is what keeps At&t alive! Once Verizon has it.. AT&T will loose a lot of business...Everyone know that Verizon is better in every aspect...people are with At&T just cuz they have the ip and do not care about the wack service. Now we can have an awesome phone and The greatest service provider.
You guys don't understand... If the iPhone ends up coming to Verizon then the iPhone's will still work and be running with AT&T... Apple may not make anymore AT&T iPhones after a couple years being with Verizon but still be happy that you have one and all of us that can't wait for it to come to Verizon and currently are on Verizon should just be happy that now Verizon has Made their 4G LTE Network and have Apple's iPad Running on their network even though they do have to have the Mi-Fi it is still a good thing... c( :
I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will CAMP OUT JUST TO GET IT IF I HAVE TO!
so exciteddddd
=D
At&T is the worst company ever, so expensive it is not worted! the service is not good, Thank God that I left At&T
ya man if there going whith verizon iphone i will get it the first day it comes out ya man
Why do people say Verizon has such bad customer service. My blackberry has needed to be replaced 3 times now under warranty and Verizon customer service reps handled it perfectly, same with when I had questions on my bill. I'm so excited for Verizon to get the iPhone. rim should just give up or fast forward. I'm so sick of my blackberry, I'll never get another one again.
Verizon all the way!!! I would get the iphone for Verizon, even if it means sticking with this crappy phone for two more months. I would feel complete. I have been longing for the iphone for so long, I would do anything to get it, except switch to AT&T, their prices are so high and I am already with Verizon.
Am going to ireland where i'll will buy mx iphone 4.. This december 2010..
I switched from verizon to AT&T for the iPhone and can't wait for verizon to get the iPhone so I can switch back
I hope Sprint gets the iPhone. Theyre the only one, besides Tmobile, that already has a 4G network rolled out. They have the best customer service, according to ASCI and Pilot house and me, They have a rock solid network. And where Sprint lacks you get free roaming on Verizon. So I have everywhere Verizon customers have service and some.Without paying enormous bills. I had Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile, and now Sprint. Sprint hands down is the best. Im paying less for my whole family to have unlimited data and texting than for just texting and talking with Verizon. AT&T has the worst network out there.
Ahh Thank God just in time for my upgrade!
ATT blows. Gave up my iPhone for Verizon' network. No dropped calls in six months but I MISS MY iPhone. Droid incredible is not as good, if u never had an iPhone Droids seem okay but once you've used Apple stuff you know.
I have been eligible for a free phone upgrade with Verizon since October of 2009. Have tried other carriers, and no compare to Verizon. I am waiting for the iphone! I just want to be able to sync with my macbook pro. Almost here, I can't wait! Sure hope they don't push back the release date.
Apples 5G and Verizons Marriage. When?
I definitely think that Verizon will be getting the Iphone soon. I would imagine that the first unit will be a CDMA device and only 3G speeds. Prob middle to end of january. Keep an eye for possible January 5th announcement. Would expect a 4g LTE model with 3g cdma chipset 3-6 months after that.
The first 4g device for verizon will be like the HTC evo. HTC Incredible HD.
I really hope the iphone comes out for Verizon in january! i can't wait.
i cant wait til the iphone comez out for verizon in january!!! so excited!!!
I the droid 2 and can't wait till they get the iphone. Verizon is the best.
Im Defiantly Geting This Phone. i Been Waiting A Couple Of Month For This An I Still Haven t UpGrade My Phone Becuase Of Thiss.
IPHONE FOR VERIZON ROCKSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
cANT Wait
I'm just waiting for the i-phone to join Verizon. I've been with them since day 1, and have no complaints. I am a true verizon customer. While otheres keep switching from service to service just for phone brands then hate the service they receive. I love my Verizon. Please Apple hurry that i-phone to Verizon!!
This Christmas I'm putting Mistletoe in my back pocket
OMG! I cnt waittt!!! I am definetly get it on verizon if my dad let's me!!!!!!!!!! My upgrade for my fone now is in February!! I can't waitt :):):):)
I have been waiting for years for the iphone to come to verizon. I was an at&t customer a long time ago and had the worst experience with my phone as well as the service. I pray that the iphone comes to verizon. I'm so tired of all the rumors!
To give a choice Of two networks for iPhone is a great chance for apple to gain the lead once again. It also will accelerate the technology race to bring more to what was once just a communication device
I'm just hoping that the rumor is true if it is not with verizon by Jan I'm going to AT&T
My htc incredible (the oposite of in credible if u ask me) always crashes apple just makes finer prices if equipment. They do everything perfectly so that u are getting a reliable device
I hope that it is true because I am ready for the phone. Just in time for a upgrade ok!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only 2 more days until the conference if we find out sooner or later
Lol it's just a phone
For cell coverage, I haven't found a carrier that beats Verizon, especially in my home and the backroads I travel daily. I, too, have been holding out for the iPhone to come to VZW becase of 1) the iPhone's reputation (sounds like it beats all the others); 2) prefer to use MAC based products these days - not too eager to let Google or Microsoft get their hooks into me or my data any longer.
So AT&T told me that I couldn't get a refurbished Iphone 4 because they only give those to new customers. So I guess their loyal customers arent worth a crap!! This is bull crap.
And they told me I would have to wait longer for an upgrade. They said this was because I was a lower revenue line!! So you get rewarded more for having more money???
So don't be fooled by their new customer service deals! They are just get you in a two year contract and then screw you!
So tell me this isnt backwards... It would be cheaper for me to close my existing phone lines and pay 210 dollars and open two new phones!
That way I could get the Iphone 4 refurbished for 99 dollars! So I guess this is how they treat their customers!! I never had a problem with them until now but seriously I will change to verizon if they get the iphone! Verizon always took care of problems when I had them before for my internet!!

I wonder if above site is true??
Everyone should wait for the iPhone 5 coming soon in a few months!!!
IM SO EXCITED THAT VERIZON IS GETTING THE IPHONE! I HAVE CENTENNIAL, WHICH IS NOW TECHNICALLY VERIZON BUT NOT EVERYTHING HAS SWITCHED OVER. I HOPE I CAN GET THE IPHONE FOR A CHEAP PRICE AND HAVE CHEAP INTERNET COSTS. IM SO GLAD ANOTHER COMPNAY IS FINALLY GETTING THE IPHONE BECUASE PERSONALLY AT&T HAS THE WORST SERVICE EVER! AND I WAS NOT GOING TO SWITCH JUST FOR THE IPHONE. SO NOW HOPEFULLY I CAN HAVE A GREAT PHONE WITH GREAT SERVICE!
I have been waiting for the iphone to come to Verizon since the very first Iphone ever came out. I choose to stay a loyal customer...but I think I will wait for the 5 to come out, because like everything the first one always has the most problems...but its Jan already and I don't see anything about the iphone and Verizon?
How dare apple share their phone with a service that denied them in the first place. Stupid!!! They should be loyal to At&t ( the service that accepted them first) , this will back fire on apple n version watch!!!!!
when iPhone 4 Verizon Wireless 67 sale in malaysia??
can I break my contract with AT&T - or will they lower their rate plans to be more competitive with Verizon?
eddie, are you from another country?
