If I get an iphone do I need verizon?

so my sons kids can use it when they come down in a couple weeks?

I'm not happy with verizon so who else can I go with?

Update 2:

Does it really require service from a network to use it?

Update 3:

How do I go about hooking up a 3g?

    I would steer you away from the iphones

    4s because it has battery drainage problems:

    Even Steve Wozniak, co-founder of apple says the same thing and that siri is glitchy:

    And this is an Apple Legend saying this so you know it has to be bad.

    the 4 drops calls and is not recommended by Consumer Reports:

    Furthermore, with iphone you do not get Adobe Flash which is required to properly view videos on many websites, it is a huge complaint among iphone owners. Plus you cannot expand memory with iphone if you run out of space but with android you just add a card up to 32gb and you're good to go.

    You get more free apps with android, for example angry birds is free with android whereas you have to buy it with apple, or use their "free" version which has a big ad blocking part of the screen getting in the way of gameplay.

    Android phones are usually superior in technical specs, faster and more customizable. It is the smarter choice, that is why it leads the global market in smartphones today even with apple selling a lot of their iphones cheap or free.

    And despite the Woz saying iphones are easier to use, ANYONE can use android, he had to say SOMETHING nice about apple lol.

    Sprint!! They have the iPhone 4s, in white. Which I have a EVO3D and that phone is the only phone I would switch for. Plus sprint has better 4g, they're unlimited data plan is actually unlimited and doesn't get slowed down, and i think its just more reliable

    Source(s): I've had sprint for 8 years
