Verizon Wireless is running a large, nation-wide 3G network. This much is known. They don’t yet have a 4G network, though we know they’re doing trials now of LTE, or Long Term Evolution, a GSM variant, but it’s not open to the public.
Reader Jonathan snapped this shot of a Verizon Wireless reseller advertising 4G service. “4G Premium Retailer,” it says. Of course it’s just a stupid ploy to get attention, but could it also be false advertising?
We think so. Jonathan says,
I called that specific store by the way and I talked to some guy and I asked him if they were doing the 4G trial and he just answered with a sarcastic no. My cousin also said that he saw some of the stores by his house with them as well.
Where is this happening? We’re going to do some digging and see if we can get some answers. But we know this: Verizon’s not selling 4G devices today.
Thanks for the tip, Jonathan!
You are most welcome, hahaha.
I think that is just the name of the retailer. This doesn’t look like a verizon owned store but a retailer who’s name is 4G Wireless.
There’s a bunch of these in the L.A area. It does kind of mislead those who aren’t up to date with tech.
You ignorant fool! 4G Wireless is the name of the company.
You seriously took time out of your miserable life to “investigate” this ….WOW. It’s not false advertising…Dumasssssss
WoW !!! All I can say is the 4G store I shopped at in Madera, Ca. has the best C.S. and they do have some 4G phones !!!
4G Rules !!! shoot out to Siria..Yvonne..Veronica.. !!
woo Hoo !!
People should know what they are talking about about when they talk…..I have shopped at a direct Verizon and also in a 4G Wireless premium retailer and I will tell you the customer service was way better at 4gwireless. Yhey are willing to spend more time and help you unlike direct that tries to push you through like you are just a number…..DO YOUR RESEARCH…… and the Verizon customers should all give 4gwireless a chance they will not regret it and they will stay loyal for years to come.
