Verizon’s latest response to AT&T lawsuit claims: Stuff it. You suck.

Anyone thinking that either AT&T or Verizon were going to roll over and let the other walk all over them in the courtroom has another thing coming. Neither side is backing down anytime soon as both have come forward with fightin’ words. We all know that AT&T’s latest claims has them bragging how “awesome” their EDGE network is when the “rare” extremely common occurrence of 3G-less AT&T coverage presents itself. Verizon on the other hand comes out swinging pretty hard saying:

AT&T did not file this lawsuit because Verizon’s “There’s A Map For That” advertisements are untrue; AT&T sued because Verizon’s ads are true and the truth hurts.

The truth hurts AT&T. But it doesn’t stop there. No sir. VZW goes on to further chastise AT&T’s legal department and clear signs of lacking common sense…

In the final analysis, AT&T seeks emergency relief because Verizon’s side-by-side, apples-to-apples comparison of its own 3G coverage with AT&T’s confirms what the marketplace has been saying for months: AT&T failed to invest adequately in the necessary infrastructure to expand its 3G coverage to support its growth in smartphone business, and the usefulness of its service to smartphone users has suffered accordingly.

So in the end we have AT&T crying over their own failures being pointed out by some other entity and VZW pretty much saying “Stop your bitching!”

What do you say?

Free AT&T “Mobile to Mobile” minutes have to be “activated”

In what is most definitely a case of AT&T being cheap and screwing the customer *they’re good at that*, a customer by the name of Jeff had changed his calling plan only to realize on his monthly bill that after changing plans calls placed that were considered “mobile-to-mobile” and nights and weekends were being debited from his monthly allotment.  Calling foul he contacted AT&T and was told by a rep that because he changed his plan he had to specifically ask for these “features” to be turned back on.  Bull S***.  It’s AT&T’s way of trying to pull a fast one on their customers and sadly they are getting away with it I’m sure with many.  So the next time you get your AT&T bill double check everything and make sure nothing shady is going on.  You’ve been warned!
