Depends on the area. Around here Verizon wireless uses At&t landlines. In Missouri City, Texas the At&t store uses Verizon land lines.

| Not what they use.
That is kinda funny because that's not what they use.
they use an Intermec CN3
But maybe the Advertising company just improvised. Its unlikely Verizon would have let them borrow their actual device for a commercial. Probably proprietary software on them to connect to their core systems. Their Network security people probably said. No Way!. |

Re: It's Evdo
Exactly. What people are forgetting is that these companies are TOTALLY separate entities. Verizon landline =/= Verizone wireless just as Sprint/Embarq =/= Sprint Wireless/Nextel just as AT&T landline =/= AT&T Wireless. With how huge these companies are, it'd be a logistics nightmare to combine them.
And the fact that these companies are in totally different fields, they are fully in the right here and shouldn't be lynched on a pissy little misnomer. Now say if a VZW tech was using a Nextel phone, that'd be another case altogether.
To even further call out these people trying to point fingers at Verizon for anything they can, they are using devices from AMAZON and from a common sense standpoint, Verizon isn't actually paying for service from Sprint for these or has a business account with sprint just for these as Amazon handles that directly.

Re: While We're in Nitpicking Mode,
Cable companies send out a tech every disconnect to physically disconnect the feed to someones house or business. Im guessing bc people can still get the analog feed without the STB's....Sooooo theres nothing wrong with their ad. |

Probably a screw up by the ad agency that produced the TV spot. Amusing, but hardly earth shaking news.
