Verizon Excited to Sell iPad Data Plans, Hitting Back AT&T

Verizon has gotten feisty after their 3G ad campaign, and they are not going to let AT&T get all the attention with the iPad. In an internal memo, Verizon is shown training employees on the iPad and telling them to encourage users to buy the WiFi version of the iPad and pair it with Verizon’s MiFi unit for an always-on 3G network. They are also interested in fighting this out with AT&T with the following loaded comments.

“Why pay more for the 3G version & get 3G service on an overloaded network with limited coverage?,” Verizon writes in an internal memo. [Engadget]

Naturally, AT&T has a perfect comeback with a mere price comparison analysis. Verizon’s MiFi will cost $60/month with a 2-year contract for 5GB of data usage, while AT&T is offering $29.99/month with no contract and unlimited data for iPad users. How do you respond to that, Verizon?

  • AT&T sucks on levels yet to be discovered by man. Not saying Verizon is epic or anything, but to seriously sit there with a straight face and claim that the mobile company with the worst customer satisfaction rating in the world is "better" than Verizon, is factually untrue. Sorry for the reality check... ;)

    it is better in all aspects, maybe not customer service, but AT&T for one is on the best technology you cannot lie about that GSM sir, 80% of the world that means phones can be sold not just in the united states and a select few countries but hundreds of countries, if i were a company i would not make CDMA phones ( the company can outreach more customers on GSM) you sir cannot lie about that, voice and data? GSM only sir... iPhone GSM sir..

    I not buying for Verizon Mifi which is cost $50 and $60 a month when I can join AT&T. AT&T have the nation fastest 3G network and Ipad unlimited data plan is $30 a month. AT&T 3G speed is 7.2mbps and Verizon Wireless 3G have 3.6mbps. Ipad 3G will BLOW YOUR ASS Verizon!
