Yesterday (Feb. 20), Big Red said it would be the first to offer the 5G version of Samsung's Galaxy S10 later this spring, before the phone makes its way to other wireless carriers. Verizon's following that up with a promise that it will bring its 5G network to more than 30 cities before the end of the 2019. https://www.tomsguide.com/us/verizon-5g-2019-rollout,news-29472.html -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20190222205718.GA17028@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2019 20:57:18 +0000 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Verizon Readies 60-Day Phone Lock Policy We Outed Last Year That They Told Us Was "Inaccurate" By Kellen Back in September, we noticed that Verizon had briefly added a new device unlock policy to their website, a policy that was going to SIM lock customer phones for 60 days after purchase. Verizon got mad at us for reporting it at the time, calling it "inaccurate" and an "IT error," while issuing us a stern statement to say that nothing was changing. Today, they revealed that the plan was indeed accurate and that they will now try to implement it. Cool stuff. In a blog post today, Ronan Dunne, executive vice president and group president of Verizon Wireless, tried to sell the idea that Verizon customers are robbed on the daily and that no one is more of a target for theft than Verizon because their phones are sold unlocked. Some 7,000 customers every month apparently deal with "fraudsters" attacking their will to live. https://www.droid-life.com/2019/02/22/new-verizon-60-day-unlock-policy/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Mon, 25 Feb 2019
