Mr. McAdam was asked if Verizon would allow the Google Voice application, a service that offers free long distance calling, text messages and voice mail. He said it would.
“Either you have an open device or not,” he said. “This will be open.”
Apple has not allowed the Google Voice application to run on the iPhone, which uses the AT&T network. With an Android phone set for the Sprint network shortly, AT&T is now the only major carrier in the United States not to support Android.
