2 Stocks That Are Better Than Verizon and AT&T

Dividend lovers are seeing huge yields in the telecom space. For instance, American behemoths Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) and AT&T (NYSE: T ) are sporting dividend yields of 6.5% and 6.6%, respectively.

To vet the opportunities in the space, senior analyst Anand Chokkavelu sat down with James Early, the lead advisor of the Motley Fool's dividend investing service, Income Investor.

Turns out James sees better opportunities than Verizon or AT&T. He says go the Philippines and Israel to find better plays. Specifically, he likes Philippine Long Distance Telephone (NYSE: PHI ) (yielding 6.4%) and Partner Communications (Nasdaq: PTNR ) (yielding 10.1%).

Enter your email address below to find out what made Jobs so enraged!

Neither James Early nor Anand Chokkavelu owns shares in any of the companies mentioned. Philippine Long Distance Telephone and Partner Communications are Motley Fool Income Investor picks. The Motley Fool's disclosure policy gets camera-shy.

yes, except those dividends are subject to very high foreign taxes, which tend to eat up most of your additional gains.
