    New Poll:

    Sometimes it seems like every other commercial on TV is for wireless service.

    Which carrier's TV commercials do YOU see the most?

    NOT which carrier's commercials do you like the most, but which do you see the most often?

    Here in DC I see Sprint/Nextel/Boost commercials all the time. Especially the nextel - firefighter ones.

    A lot of iPhone commercials too.

    Wow that's a tough one. I guess it depends on what channel I'm watching but I would have to say I see Verizon the most.

    Definitely Alltel commercials around my area, then Verizon. I very rarely see at&t commercials on our local television stations. However, at&t does a ton of radio commercials. I hear about 10-15 a day.

    I've seen the black and white Central Park Sprint commercial with Dan Hesse hawking their unlimited plan and it's value versus the other guys as he walks in the park on a cold Winter night...:rolleyes:

    I've seen it in English and in Spanish. It runs quite a bit on local TV (no cable for me).

    Every since Verizon bought out Alltel, the number of Verizon commercials have skyrocketed. It seems like every other wireless ad spot is a Verizon one. After that, It's Sprint with Dan or Nextel featuring the BlackBerry Curve ...

    I have been seeing a lot of Verizon commercials (especially in December before the holidays) but I think I've seen more AT&T commercials in the month of January (even with the slight boost in Verizon's "boasting" commercials since their purchase of Alltel)... but maybe it seems like I've seen more Verizon commercials in December because of their annoying Christmas tree lot commercial (it's only somewhat humorous the first couple times around)...

    But without question, Verizon and AT&T are airing many more commercials in my area than any other carrier.

    In my area, Verizon and Alltel have the most commercials. Lately, Verizon has been showing slightly more commercials. Down in my part of Florida, it is Verizon, Alltel, AT&T, Sprint, and finally Metro PCS (as a distant fifth). I haven't seen a T-Mobile commercial for the longest time (probably since late last year).

    I have seen my share of sprint ones and Verizon is a close second. They dont really seem to bother me that much though.

    I don't see T-Mobile on the list... is it because they aren't one of the Big 3?!?

    But I see alot of T-Mobile commercials!

    :O I just forgot to add them when I set up the poll. T-Mobile is added.
    I see a lot of T-Mobile commercials too.

    I almost never see any T-Mobile commercials. Just the one with the family.

    As for me, I voted for Sprint, but just barely over Verizon. I see iphone ads too, but I think of them more as ads for Apple than ATT.

    I usually see AT&T the most (at least for the past few weeks), followed by Verizon, then Sprint, then T-Mobile... but then again, I don't watch that much TV to begin with. :rolleyes:

    I'd say AllTel, Verizon, Sprint/at&t as far as the commercials I see - although I pretty much ignore commercials.

    I see quite a few iPhone commercials, but I also don't consider them to be for at&t - not even sure they mention at&t at all during the commercial.

    Don't particularly like any of them. :) Well....the iPhone one is rather mesmerizing.....but don't worry...... :D

    I don't think this iPhone app is in the commercial. :D

    iFart

    And this thread got me to thinking/"watching" :) - T-Mobile has some pretty good commercials right now -

    There is the "commitment-phobe/may want to make a change" husband - only been married to the same woman for 45 years and had 11 bull dogs - all named Jake. (contractless service commercial)

    And then there is the new "ButtDialer" - commercial for the Blackberry Flip.
