(NASDAQ: AAPL) gadget how likely they would be to switch wireless providers if Verizon (NYSE: VZ) began offering the iPhone. A total of 13% said they were Very Likely and 18% Somewhat Likely to switch to Verizon. And that's among users who already have their own iPhone."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com//at/auto/1281927380.usr105505.gif" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb; margin-left: 120px; margin-right: 120px;" /></p><p> </p><p>Personally, I'm not looking to switch, but that's because no mobile provider reaches my house. Because AT&T has its Microcell available, I finally have coverage in my home, so it's unlikely I'll be switching to Verizon anytime soon. As a person who once left AT&T because of a few bad customer service experiences, I also have to say that all of my recent experiences with AT&T have been excellent. All of that being said, I can understand the frustration that many people have with the AT&T network, especially in areas with tech-heavy populations like New York and San Francisco. Would you switch carriers if Apple brought the iPhone to Verizon?</p>
