During the call, Verizon announced that it activated an additional 3.2 million iPhones for the quarter, which is 1.1 million units down (or 24 percent) from the blowout Holiday quarter when the carrier activated 4.3 million iPhones.
Verizon activated 6.3 million smartphones overall, and 9.1-percent of those were on LTE. Data revenues were $6.6 billion, which is up $1.1 billion (or 21.1-percent) year-over-year and represents 42.9-percent of all service revenues. Total revenues were $18.3 billion, up 8.2-percent year-over-year.
Verizon is now at 47 percent smartphones overall. It is near the tipping point where smartphone customers outnumber dumbphone counterparts.
