AT&T vs. Verizon: Battle of Cellphone Accessories
This is a new decade. You want to be able to dial your mother without getting cut off or having to try twice. Well, since the iPhone came out last week, let’s talk about who gets the best service.
According to David Pogue of the New York Times, Verizon has more bars in more places. And pretty soon, they’ll charge for data according to how much you use, not the flat fee that they’ve had so far. But because there are two different networks in the U.S., G.S.M. (used by AT&T and T-Mobile) and C.D.M.A. (used by Verizon and Sprint) there are a couple of small differences that might make you think twice about switching to Verizon.
C.D.M.A. splits text messages into 160 character chunks. That can be annoying. You can’t talk while online. So if you’re in a 3G area, you will be kicked offline and your call will take precedence. You will be helped back when you’re done with the call. And if you’re abroad, most countries won’t accomodate your iPhone. And the ringer switch has moved slightly so you will have to buy Verizon specific cellphone accessories.
Other than that, feel free to start buying cellphone accessories for Verizon. A case, bluetooth headsets, and a charger and you’ll be ready to go.
