Verizon Files False Advertising Lawsuit against Alltel

America’s second biggest mobile phone carrier, Verizon Wireless, is suing smaller rival, Alltel Corp., for allegedly making false statements about Verizon’s calling plans in its television advertisements.

Alltel, a regional carrier with a presence in 35 U.S. states, apparently suggested in a series of TV commercials that Verizon customers are forced to extend their contracts when they chance calling plans. The ads feature Verizon sales representatives trying to stop customers from switching to Alltel when they learn of Alltel’s supposedly more flexible contract policies.

“Whatever merit this comparison may have to other carriers, in the case of Verizon Wireless, the supposed ‘advantage’ is pure fiction,” Verizon alleged in its false advertising lawsuit, filed at a federal court in Richmond, Virginia on Wednesday.

Verizon customers have been able to change plans without extending their contracts since October 1, 2007, the Basking Ridge, New Jersey-based telecom giant clarified.

I must admit that PhoneCard Stop have the best customer service. They know how to explain about their prepaid phonecards; unlike other prepaid phonecards sites. Their customer service personnels are so polite and helpful. I dare to say that they are the best international phonecards retailer!
