You cannot expect the carriers which are struggling financially to spend lots of money on temporary events.

So get over it and realize that cell phones are a "nicety" but not an "necessity".

Have you ever tried using your Sprint or Verizon phone in a third world country? Oh wait, you usually can't because most of the world uses UTMS not CDMA.

AT&T should not be singled out here. The technology of cell phones and the lack of funding to correctly deploy it to get around its limitations are the real culprits.
Jesus, what a LOAD OF BS.

AT&T has BILLIONS to spend - it's just a greedy MF corp that does NOT want to spend anything beyond necessary, rather take it out as a profit.

Secondly they sell their services as RELIABLE and for MONEY - nobody should take it as a "nicety", that'd be downright idiotic when you PAY for it.

Lastly you can use your Crackberry Storm with SIM cards because it's a hybrid GSM/CDMA phone, moreover if you ask for it you can get at least a SIM card for traveling.
You should read your Terms of Service and Service Level Agreement. Also recommend you read AT&Ts financial report because they don't have billions for network upgrades for their wireless division.

The Storm is a hybrid phone that will work in other countries. But what about all the other non-hybrid phones that Verizon and Sprint sell? Out of luck?

What about the many phones that are GSM but are only dual band and not quad band GSM?
