Verizon Is Still Making Fun of AT&T

Tweet

Like it or not folks, Verizon is definitely a carrier worth checking out these days. The company has a couple of new hot Android phones out there and more will follow. The BlackBerry Curve 2 has been confirmed, not to mention that more rumors and reports say that a CDMA iPhone is in the works.

Verizon seems also interested in continuing its “There’s a Map for That” ad campaign. Making fun of AT&T seems really interesting right now and Big Red doesn’t seem to care all that much about AT&T’s lawsuit. AT&T has sued Verizon alleging that the “There’s a Map for That” is doing some false advertising. So what did Verizon have to respond to that? The company launched not one, but three new commercials in which it continues bashing AT&T.

All three new ads are holiday oriented and this time Verizon is making it very clear that the ads are talking about 3G coverage only. The 3G maps are presented again and the message is pretty obvious. Verizon has a much wider 3G network so customers should choose it over AT&T’s. What do you think it’s going to happen? Will AT&T lose any subscribers to Verizon in the following months?

The new ads are titled “Naughty Nice”, “Misfit Toys” and “Blue Christmas” and you’ll definitely have a laugh watching them.

In “Naughty Nice” only naughty kids are going to get a 3G phone from AT&T, and the elves have a really funny punch line when referring to the AT&T phone: “good luck browsing the web with that one.” “Misfit Toys” shows an iPhone coming to the Misfit Toys world. As cool a toy it is, it’s still using AT&T’s network. In “Blue Christmas” Verizon shows us a father that can’t really communicate with his family as he is using AT&T’s 3G network. Luckily for him his kid has a new present for him that will solve his problems.

Did Apple inspire Verizon when it comes to making fun of the competition on a regular basis? Will we see other sequels soon? What do you think about the new commercials?
