Verizon sucks so hard it makes black holes jealous. You know they're lying if their lips are moving.

From supporting business mobes that are on Verizon, I can tell you that their network buckles under the strain of use by at least one greeting card company. It's no surprise that they misconstrue security vulnerabilities.
