Metro has roaming agreements that allow for talk/text/data nationwide but you won't get data everywhere. Boost, for the most part, is IDEN and their CDMA phone(s) operate on the native Sprint only so no piggy backing. I don't see them making any claims about Sprint or T Mobile because they don't view them as competition but I think it's more about them not wanting to shed light on the prices they charge and getting shown up by Sprint on the data side

VZW doesn't talk about saving money if you notice, so of course they won't put the spotlight on TMO and Sprint on their commercials. If you want 3G coverage at at reasonable price, we don't have a rate for that! that should be AT&T and VZW's motto

It's not really fair that Verizon is attacking AT&T since they are two different technologies. CDMA of course is going to have better domestic coverage. But with GSM, it really depends on the area you're in in order to get the best coverage. Cause in my city, AT&T is great and has better speeds than Verizon. But if I go to the country, Verizon and Sprint is better than AT&T and T-Mobile.

It's all about the Holiday Rush at this point, see who can sell the most phones, and charge you the most in Date, Messaging, and Voice Packaging and don't forget Navigation, TV, and Visual Voice mail those are extra if you want them. ;)

It's not fair for a company to attack the network of it's biggest competitor? I'm sorry, does this really make sense to anyone? That a cell phone company shouldn't attack another cell phone company just cause they use diff tech? ummmmmmm.... ok?

Uhm, but remember that if Verizon didn't purchase Alltel, then they wouldn't be #1 in the first place. Besides, AT&T and Verizon cater to different demographics, IMO. Verizon seems to cater to the trendy crowd while AT&T is more catered to the business crowd.

Verizon actually has the largest amount of small business customers out of all the wireless carriers.
