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. Accountability holds each other responsible. “Great Companies are judged by what they do, not by what they say” Verizon Wireless

...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 cellular service is inelastic because the products and services it offers makes them the dominant leader in the wireless industry; therefore, a 10% change in calling plan prices (monthly access fees) would not affect the quantity demanded. Verizon Wireless can depend on this inelasticity in their pricing model because of the strength of its brand and the wealth of products and services it offers. Verizon Wireless' competitive advantage comes from its ultra-low churn rate (the percentage of customers who disconnect their service is less than one percent of its 60 million customer base). This indicator suggests that customers are satisfied with the service Verizon Wireless offers and a slight price increase probably would not drive its customers to the competition. This data also suggests that customers probably stay with Verizon Wireless because of its continued expansion of new technologies and services such as its all-digital nationwide CDMA network, EVDO' or its advanced data network (used to wireless send and receive email and other data almost anywhere in the US), and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) that they use for their Push to Talk products. Verizon Wireless markets to a nearly all demographics nationwide and most of its services are offered in the smaller rural markets as a direct result of the one billion dollars per quarter it spends on improving its network as well as acquiring smaller wireless networks to make their nationwide network stronger and larger.
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
You would not buy a home, car or other large purchases without researching what product offered you the most for your money. The same is true when investing in a company. Investors do avid research on multiple companies to find what company matches the investors' criteria. In this paper Team C will research both AT&T and Verizon's financial documents. Team C will compare selected ratios, cash flow and make recommendations how both companies can manage cash flow for the future.
Verizon is predominantly a cellular service provider; however, they are involved in many more industries like search engines, news outlet, and emails with the acquisitions Yahoo and AOL. Thus, the supply chain Verizon utilizes involves many inputs were there are always many choices, because of the high rivalry and cost cutting demands from consumers. According to Verizon, “Verizon is a charter member of the Billion Dollar Roundtable, a coalition of corporations that spend more than $1 billion each year with diverse suppliers.” (www.verizon.com/about/our-company/supplier-diversity). The primary supplier for Verizon would be their phone providers, which include Apple, Google Android phones, Microsoft, Blackberry, etc. The

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.

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. Between these companies among several other phone companies they have created millions of jobs and opportunities. Cell phone companies have now created what are known as “smart phones”. These phones are typically slim and sleek and have countless versatile abilities. However, cell phones have not always been so “smart” or small for that matter.
