Verizon Store versus Verizon Authorized Retailer

When you are searching Verizon Store Near Me, you will find two types of store on the Verizon Store Near Me Map. The first stores are the Verizon Stores, they simply are named Verizon on the map and are stores operated by Verizon itself. The second store locations are Verizon Authorized Retailers. While the map shows Verizon in their name and when you go to their stores you will see the Verizon trademark and marketing items, these stores are not Verizon but a company that has a contract with Verizon for doing sales of their products and plans. Which means if you are looking for a new phone, they are able to sell you one, and you may even be able to get a rather good deal as they normally will have special contracts with Verizon, they don’t have all of the power and authority over your phone and its plan. If you are looking for service to your phone or are looking to make changes to your account and billing, most of these locations will not have that power. You will need to go to a Verizon store itself as Verizon is responsible for all billing and customer service of their phones and plans.

A Brief History of Cellular Phones and Verizon

Verizon as a company is both new and old. It holds a strong place history in cellular phones. Verizon was formed by the merging of two large companies, Bell Atlantic and GTE. This merging took place in the year 2000. Once the companies merged, the combined company was known as Verizon.

Back in the 1970s, the United States was almost completely monopolized by the American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) company when it came to phone services. An anti-trust lawsuit forced the company to relinquish control over the Bell Communication Companies, which provided local phone services at the time. The control wasn’t given up until 1984.
In 1995, Bell Atlantic, with the help of NYNEX Corporation, a phone company in New England, created Bell Atlantic NYNEX Mobile, a rather long name. Two years later, the companies formally merge under the Bell Atlantic Banner. This brings us back to where the company was in 2000 when it merged with GTE to become Verizon.

Today, while AT&T used to hold a monopoly on the United States phones, it is no longer the case, in fact AT&T is not even number one. Verizon holds the largest number of mobile phone subscribers, with over 143 million and AT&T comes in second place with just over 133 million subscribers. To round out the top 5, there is T-Mobile in third place with 69 million subscribers, Sprint with 60 million in fourth place and fifth place goes to U.S. Mobile with only 5 million subscribers. The phone industry has certainly changed a lot.

Verizon Communications today is now a national corporation with over 177,000 employees and has an annual revenue of over 131 billion dollars.

Verizon has a number of prominent marketing deals including an exclusive marketing and promotional deal with the National Hockey League. It has a similar deal with the IndyCar series, which is now called the Verizon IndyCar Series. They also worked with Vodafone to get a deal with the National Football League.
