When we talk about the massive anticipation for the Verizon iPhone, what we’re always considering is the regular customers, whether the guy from AT&T who has been waiting years to switch away from the mushy, dropped call maker, or the Verizon customer who has had to pretend an Android phone is just as good as an iPhone for years now.
We never talk about the Verizon employees though… a shame, since they probably want an iPhone more than anyone, if only to stop people asking them constantly when Verizon will have the iPhone and treating them like second-class citizens.
Unfortunately, if you’re a Verizon employee, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer to get your iPhone, at least if you want to link it to your Verizon-expensed business line. Try to activate an iPhone on your existing number and Verizon will detect it and change it to a personal number.
Is an iPhone worth paying for your calls? Apparently, Verizon thinks it just might be, because while they can’t stop employees from getting one personally, they have distributed a memo pleading with all employees to postpone iPhone purchases for themselves, their friends and their family until the initial rush is over.
