Re: Could have been alot more
I get cell service in some below ground subway stations (no they don't have any service in there active yet) in NYC and i have ATT, so i dunno what you're talking about. Also, when i was in san juan, i could call home no problem, and send MMS. If i'm not mistaken ATT had the first national wireless network. They have more towers per customer than anyone else, plus 2 other carriers lease cell tower traffic (tmoible, virginmobile) from ATT in their respective coverage areas. |

ATT has to have more towers because a GSM tower can not transmit as far as CDMA can, so that's why they need to have more towers. Also virgin mobile runs on Sprint's network not ATT's. Please get your facts straight before posting. |

@conversent.net | I switched to AT&T specifically for the iPhone -- and so far, AT&T's coverage wins hands down over Verizon. Perhaps it's just my area but this blanket "AT&T is crap" statements are total bullshit. |

| I have AT&T in the St. Louis metro and their service sucks badly for me.
Granted your phones make a difference, but it is completely unacceptable when I am traveling on the metro system (which is outside over 95% of the time and I can't stay on a call for the 25 min trip. |
