Verizon Asking Employees Not to Buy iPhone yet.

Verizon has sent out a memo Asking all of their employees and the families of their employees, to please not buy the iPhone until they have met with customer demand for the device on their network.


In a recent email sent to their employees, Verizon said the following....

"Focus on Customer Is Key to Verizon iPhone Launch. To help ensure we meet customer demand for iPhones, Verizon is urging employees and their families to postpone purchases of the popular smartphone, whether online or in retail stores, for the time being."

“Customers and non-customers alike have waited for years to see this product on America’s most reliable wireless network,” notes Verizon Wireless Chief Operating Officer John Stratton. “Demand will be unprecedented.

“Now it’s here. This is our chance to show those millions of people what it means to be a Verizon customer — providing them the best network, joined by the very best customer service and support, all adding up to a world-class customer experience.

“Part of that experience is ensuring we’re able to meet our customers’ needs in the midst of what will surely be unprecedented customer demand.

“I know customers aren’t the only ones who are excited – employees are, too. While I share your excitement, over the coming weeks we all need to do our part to meet our customers’ needs — this means putting our customers first.

“After all, that’s the way we do business. That’s the Verizon Credo in action.

“This is an historic moment in time to rally together and show our loyal customers and new ones what our culture is all about.”

Personally, after the run around I have been given by Verizon today, I am HAPPY to see they are at least trying to make sure the iPhones are available for their customers first.
