Verizon won’t be able to carry the iPhone 4 until February 10, but the company is already making a preemptive strike in order to lure iPhone owners who already have services with AT&T. The i phone 4 is the most popular smart phone which means that Verizon stands to increase its profits substantially come February. In order to attract consumers who are planning to purchase an iPhone in the next few months an unlimited data plan that was done away with a few months ago is back. For $30 a month, new Verizon customers can access the Internet as much as they want to. Not to be beaten, AT&T has introduced a similar plan for the exact same amount of money. This means that consumer will need to look at both of these cell phone carriers’ other features before making a decision.
Ultimately, either Verizon or AT&T will have to crack. Given the fact that they can get most of the same services for the same price, consumers will likely want to test out the cell phone provider that has the best reputation. Both Verizon and AT&T have been criticized in the past for price gouging. When the first iPhone was released, consumers posted photos and videos of their first cell phone bills. Some received bills that amounted to over $1,000 even after they assumed that they had signed agreements that would limit their charges. Consumer will likely block to Verizon in the beginning, but these numbers may level out after a few months. If AT&T plans to remain competitive the company will probably have to cut the prices of their rates. Either way, new consumers and customers with contracts soon set to expire will be the biggest winner in this battle between the cell phone carrier behemoths. Dial A Phone has all the latest information on the iPhone 4 so see what they have to offer.
