no they dont...does att own cdma towers? no they dont. the only time verizon phones will use a gsm signal is if there is NO cdma signal available which basically means overseas. good luck though ill make sure to tell my co-workers about you statement so we can all get a good laugh.

You're both off the mark. VZW, AT&T and most of the carriers do not own significant percentages of the towers they use. They are owned by third parties that lease the space for the carrier licenses. The towers that are owned by the carriers, where zoning allows it, they lease the space to other carriers for their antennas.

verizon does have gsm tower if you read about the merger it talks about verizon keeping gsm tower until its all complete

Verizon owns it's towers and yes there are some GSM towers they have from the RCC (unicel) merger at this momemt but most will be converted to CDMA and the others will probably be sold to AT&T. Some companies like Sprint have sold their towers to a 3rd Party tower maintainance.

your a complete idiot. Who is RCC? RCC is a cell company that provided CDMA services to there 700,000 + customers. they also own GSM towers for other companies to roam off of. Who the hell do you think bought them? Verizon! Verizon has said that they will continue to operate the GSM service for roaming agreements with other companies. How about that for a good laugh you moron? I am the wrong person to be trying to pick a fight with. Do us all a favor and dive to the bottom of a deep pool and inhale! BTW, if you work for Verizon you should know this information. I for one do work for verizon and i DO know this information to be true!

Wow, you really should have bitten your tongue and never even said that because you just got PWNED!!!!!!!!

i love how people assume they know a lot about carriers. for example people think our ptt service runs off of a qualcomm technology when its actually a motorola technology...unless you work for verizon and you have the resources to back up your theories shut your mouth, because half of the things ive just read were very untrue

PERIOD you better check you M&SO's before you try to pass arrogance for knowledge again.

ya know, when of you guys are trying to make a point, you should present hard evidence or a link to your source with your statement so others can believe you

atually At&T does own cdma towers. Back in the day when Cingular (GSM) and AT&T (cdma and tdma) joined forces, there was a migratory period where old att subs could use their cdma phones until the transition was complete. ATT kept the towers to sell the licensing rights. VZW owns GSM towers with the purchase of the rural cellular companies they have purchased.

This is a VZW/Vodafone exclusive outside of Canada.

Sprint doesn't deserve it. :X
