Is this deceptive or just the truth?



Does AT&T have a case? Is this deceptive? How might the average consumer misinterpret this ad? Did Verizon do anything wrong?

I think that this is very deceptive because if you are new to the United States or new to cell phones, I would assume you would want to get Verizon because it says it has way better coverage than AT&T. I think its just the truth though because I have AT&T but I want Verizon. All of my friends with Verizon get service everywhere. People might misinterpret this ad because they could think Verizon is lying or overexaggerating their coverage. I think Verizon did do something wrong because they have to bash another phone companies service on a tv commercial just to make them look good.

I don't believe this advertisement is deceptive. Verizon has many satisfied customers and very rarely have I ever had a difficult time obtaining service other networks do not have. As far as targeting AT&T in their commercial I believe it is because they are they biggest competitor. They're the only official holders of the Iphone, one of the biggest fads in the year, therefore making them Verizon's strongest competitor. Verizon has had a stable brand for years and since main campaign is "no dead zones" they have proven it time and time again.

Honestly I have AT&T and it doesnt get service anywhere. So I dont think this ad is deceptive. Most of my friends have verizon and always have service in the school for example. I cant get service anywhere in the school. Bottom line is I do think verizon is better, and if I could change I would.
