NAD Supports Verizon Claim of Prioritizing First Responders
Briefly

The BBB National Programs' National Advertising Division (NAD) affirmed Verizon Wireless' advertising claim that its Frontline service prioritizes first responders, stating that the language used does not suggest exclusivity. This decision followed a Fast-Track SWIFT challenge from T-Mobile, which argued that Verizon implied it was the only network serving first responders. The NAD clarified that the context of Verizon's ads does not reasonably convey this message, and Verizon expressed satisfaction with the ruling. Previous challenges against Verizon regarding advertising claims were also noted, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of the carrier's marketing practices.
NAD's findings support Verizon's claim that its Frontline service prioritizes first responders without implying exclusivity, affirming the context of the advertisements.
T-Mobile's challenge argued that Verizon's commercials mislead by suggesting they are the only carrier serving first responders, which NAD did not uphold.
