Just wondering

I’m an AT&T customer and I was just wondering that if AT&T as a whole has been around since 1875, shouldn’t that grant you access to Verizon’s towers?  Because essentially you were first in line, because of this, how can Verizon say that they’re the best carrier in the Nation?   I’m sure that bringing attention to Appropriate parties in the mere future will make AT&T more robust and stronger than ever before

No 🙄

That's like saying that just because you bought your house 200 years ago that you should be able to move into your neighbor's house even though you don't own it.  

And if you do a little digging about the history of cellular service, or wired telephone service you'll discover it's a little more complicated than who came first

Thanks for clarifying that I was wondering why’s Verizon allowed to claim that they have the best coverage, when they clearly don’t?  I was talking to someone who said when you drive in an area that that’s hilly. no coverage whatsoever.  Also Verizon sometimes doesn’t cut through concrete walls, when my Sister had them in 06 She was having reception issues inside inside her apartment at the time.  Honestly I don’t know how they could and can get away with ripping people off and destroying their credit history AT&T was here first.  Please take what was yours

Actually the reverse is true. CDMA did an excellent job of penetrating buildings. GSM did not. 

But since neither of those Network types exist anymore, LTE and 5G are all that's left and they are equally good or bad depending on your location. 

Service providers do not destroy one's credit. Individuals destroy their credit on their own by not paying their bills
