This means that it’s now (finally) possible, with a Verizon iPhone, for your iPad to connect to your iPhone just like it’s a Wi-Fi hotspot and use its 3G connection. However, if you buy your iPhone from Verizon, you’ll have access to an exclusive feature called ‘Personal Hotspot’, which allows you to connect up to 5 devices to your iPhone via Wi-Fi and use its data connection. With the AT&T iPhone, however, this isn’t an issue.Īlthough you have the option of tethering your iPhone to your laptop to use its 3G connection, the feature currently only works via USB or Bluetooth. What does this mean? Well, if you’re on the phone to your buddy and he tells you to meet him at a particular restaurant, you can’t take advantage of multitasking on your device to open up Maps and get directions while you’re on a call. ![]() ![]() However, it seems that Verizon doesn’t currently provide this option.īecause the Verizon iPhone uses a CDMA chip, just like other CDMA devices, you cannot use a voice and data connection at the same time. If you’re eager to be one of the first to get the latest iPhones when they launch, a contract from AT&T means you may be able to upgrade early when a new iPhone is released each year. Anything above the base package, however, will be better value for money from AT&T, which offers an unlimited text bundle for $20, whereas the most you can get from Verizon is 5000 texts for the same price.

If you want data but you don’t use it excessively, you’re better off with the low-end data plans from AT&T, which gives you an extra 50MB for your $15.īoth carriers offer the same options for voice plans – you’ll pay the same price for the same number of minutes whichever carrier you choose. Well, if you’re a heavy data user, you’re going to get more for your money from Verizon – its unlimited plans, with or without tethering, mean you won’t have to worry about going over your limit and incurring additional charges. ![]()
