Nelson also joked that Legere would have to use Verizon’s network in order tweet a pic of the plane since there is no T-Mobile network coverage on Verizon’s headquarters.

Legere hasn’t yet revealed exactly what his message to Verizon is going to be, but he promises that he’s going to give his go-ahead soon.
