Imagine if nobody had a cellphone in today’s world. That’s why today everybody has some form of a cellphone contract with the four major companies (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile) or a less know cellphone provider. AT&T and Verizon Wireless provide more than the other two major companies.
Yes, all the four provide cellphone service, but what makes AT&T and Verizon stand out is that they go the extra mile in reaching every customer there is out there. If anybody does a google search and types in either AT&T or Verizon the first thing that comes up in their website is what type of services they offer. Verizon offers wireless service which means anything from the cellphones to the cellphone plans they provide. Residential service which includes Internet, TV& home phone services for your home. Business means anything that has to do with your business, Verizon will help you. AT&T has the same service wireless, residential, and business.
The mission that Verizon Wireless pursues is as a leader in communications, Verizon's mission is to enable people and businesses to communicate with each other. We are also committed to providing full and open communication with our customers, employees and investors. That’s just the beginning on their home page. Verizon has other values like customers first because they are ultimately the people that make them. Integrity always at the heart of everything they do. Respect is the critical component at every level of business. Performance Excellent Verizon holds itself to high standard of performance.

...eople playing with their phones “I assuming is their phones or it might be Verizon’s phone”. This to me seems a psychological mind game. They show you a picture of a person or couple smiling. That in turn should make you think if they are happy they I can be happy with a Verizon too.

AT&T diversifies it’s promotions to grab different customers. AT&T is still in the market to grab every single customer out there. The same as Verizon it pops up different promotions, but AT&T has different promotions for different likes. It has a promotion for music, Samsung Galaxy, family plans, TV packages. Immediately on clicking on the AT&T the first thing that pops up is plans for every single device. Same thing as Verizon, AT&T has people smiling with their devices showing how happy they are with AT&T and their service.
Verizon Wireless is a joint venture between Verizon Communications out of New Jersey and the European-owned telecommunications company "Vodafone." Verizon Wireless is a wireless communication carrier that operates in the continental United States. Currently, Verizon Wireless provides wireless communication services to over 60 million customers nationwide including customers in Hawaii and Alaska. Its products include wireless voice and data services using the largest wireless voice and data network in the United States. Cingular Wireless is currently the leading cellular carrier when it comes to amount of customers on its wireless network. However, as Verizon Wireless continues to grow its market share as the United States' second largest wireless carrier, it ranks number one in total revenue collected as well as how it is viewed by Wall Street. Verizon Wireless' strong market position, perception of quality, and its proportion of income has a strong competitive advantage that would allow a small price increase--making the demand inelastic, "quality demand stretches very little in response to price change" (McConnell et. al, 2004).
The supplier bargaining power relies mainly in Apple and Google Android phones, because they are the highest in demand smart phones on the market today. In addition, both of these companies have other cellular service providers like AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile to sell their phones. This creates little bargaining power for Verizon, which can only use their reputation and customer base as a driving force for their bargaining power. Simply put, without Apple and Google Android phones, Verizon would not sell very many phones. Therefore, Verizon must keep a very close relationship with its providers, especially the phone manufacturers. These relationships Verizon has is very pivotal in their overall strategy, because without these two phone companies, Verizon would most likely not be in the cellular service industry. Consequently, Verizon must keep a very healthy relationship with these phone companies, because they can decrease/stop the supply chain, which ultimately would
According to cnet.com, “AT&T and Verizon combined control more than 70 percent of the wireless market.” This means that these two phone companies are the peoples favorite everywhere. As of 2012, Verizon had 111.3 million customers and AT&T had 105.2 million customers. That makes a 6.1 million difference between the companies customers. Telling people that majority of the 70 percent wireless market control are Verizon users. On the Verizon website it says that they “Cover over 97% of Americans.” This shows that most people prefer Verizon because of how great it is to have. Having Verizon gives people LTE everywhere meaning that your phone will work faster on the internet than other phone companies. Only Verizon’s 4G network is 100% LTE. That is what makes them different than
“Verizon Communications Inc., based in New York City and incorporated in Delaware, was formed on June 30, 2000, with the merger of Bell Atlantic Corp. and GTE Corp. Verizon began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the VZ symbol on Monday, July 3, 2000.” Verizon Communications Inc. is a publicly held Corporation. In this paper, I will discuss the corporate roles and duties of a corporation. I will also discuss the differences between a publicly held and closed corporation.
Verizon Wireless is the only company that I’ve used for my phone for as long as I can remember. That company had my first ever phone when I was 10; it was one of those old brick LG slider phones and currently Verizon houses my iPhone 6. At 19 years of age going onto 20, I’ve dealt with Verizon for almost 10 years now. During these past ten years, I’ve never had the experiences that I dealt with, with any other company. Verizon has some of the worst customer service known to man-kind. According to ConsumerAffairs.com [Verizon’s score is 2/5] one customer had this to say, “I have been with Verizon for many years and every year it gets worse and worse. I constantly have problems with them, whether it's about paying the bill or about the tech issues.

Phone carriers. They are used to provide service to one of our everyday tools. Two out of four major phone companies that are against each other is T-Mobile and AT&T. T-Mobile claims to have the fastest 4G LTE network in the country, while AT&T claims that T-Mobile has 2x more dropped calls, 2x more failed calls, and 50% slower downloader speed. I argue that T-Mobile is better because it attracts the attention due to the pop of color and the use of text.
The telecommunications industry is of vital importance to the development of the information-based economy. AT&T need to supply access to cost efficient, timely and innovative telecommunications services.

In today’s world the vast majority of the population owns a cell phone. Cell phones are a huge part of people’s everyday lives. Since the 1940’s when mobile phones became available for automobiles, phone companies have made huge strides in making mobile phones more efficient, much smaller, and more available for anyone to use. There was a time where only people of wealth had these types of mobile phones. Now people from all social classes own a cell phone. They are extremely convenient and have the ability to do just about anything you can think of. There is an “app” for everything. You can make phone calls, text message, surf the web, pay your bills, read books, catch up on social media, and even listen to you music all from one small handheld device. Cell phones play a huge role in today’s economy. Businesses such as AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint have become huge public corporations with large stakes in the stock market.
