Confirmed: Radio Shack to offer Verizon Wireless, again, starting tomorrow

Radio Shack is crap anyway…

They provide horrible service through untrained employees.

I currently manage one of the radioshacks that is now carrying verizon wireless. It will only be carried in radioshacks that formerly carried unicel (rcc) and only untill att moves into those areas. Verizon may eventually be carried by the radioshacks that currently have alltel but only in the non-divested markets and only if att is not a viable service in those areas.

we checked the skus in are store and it says only some stores are receiving verizon again my manager was just talking about it we havent heard anything about it until we looked up this article so if we start selling it yeah but if not oh well we still got att and sprint

OMG All this fighting about something that seems like no one knows about. As a manager at Radio Shack I can tell you that only 1/4 of the comments on here have the correct info. It is true that there are Verizon skus on our system and tags. That is because we are all connected to the same system in Texas. These skus were only recently added in there have not been any skus in our system since January 2006. The only stores that will need these are the ones that carried Alltel. As for people looking for this in Pennsylvania that will be no corporate stores with it. AT&T will not be leaving anytime soon and coming from my Regional manager Verizon will not be entering all stores any time soon. So for all you out there who do not work for Radio Shack , untill you know your facts don’t pretend to know whats going on.

Me and my coworker (who still work for the shack)came across this and we just want to say dont work here. is not worh it. the micromangement is horrible, and in radioshacks eyes we are not even humanbeings. we work ridiculous hours and never any spare time so that our dm and his boss become rich. this job sucks and isnt worth it.

Trust me, he does have a terrible, terrible way of explaining his point with both his employees and his customers. I work with him.

and i was speaking of poster Nate…

As a current TSM for RS, I have not heard anything about VZW other than selected Alltel stores will carry it.

The hype right now is RS getting the iPhone, not the Storm lol.

Physically speaking, with all the new tables and upgrades they added to stores last year, theres literally no room for another carrier. LOL

and to A&A I COMPLETELY agree! My DM is a jerk who rides around in his company car and gives us hell for dust on a peg.

Only in stores where no other carrier is available unless its a rinky dink local carrier.

Since Alltel was carried in certain RadioShacks and they were bought at by Verizon, those Radioshacks are carrying Verizon. Also certain Radioshacks will be carrying T-Mobile (like mine) in two weeks.

I’m at a store where we carry AT&T, Sprint, and T-mobile. We arn’t getting Verizon, however the just opened a kiosk in the local target that does carry verizon, at&t, and T-mobile but not Sprint. go figure. Yes my district manager is a huge idiot. the hired him as a manager in LA that ran itself, the closed it and moved him up here as our dm cuz the old one quit. BTW i work my ass off to be a well trained and knowledgeable employee in all our products and so does everyone i work with. anyone who says we dont know shit needs to come check out my store and my co-workers.

@Mac at the shack:

If you work at a Radio Shack, you DO NOT know shit…like you said.

for the record. not all of the shack kids are incompetant. it just depends on whether the sales associate cares. or not. some of us do, which ultimately makes us smarter than the ones who dont. thats all.

and yes, i totally did spell incompetent wrong. but anyways there are a few kids at the shack that actually do know a lot, my assumption is that you might be stuck with a store that has people who really don’t know jack shit. Alas, there are 4100 stores in the US, so don’t group us all in with unfortunately stupid people .
