San Antonio, TX | AT&T & Verizon I carry an iPhone (AT&T) for my personal calls and a Blackberry (Verizon) for work, and so I am a walking/talking cell phone review.
At places with high concentrations of people (like a college football game), AT&T needs to stop worrying about talking and browsing simultaneously and worry about getting a damn phone call in or out. It is truly unbelievable. And it's not just me. You listen to people around you tailgating complaining that they can't make/receive calls or text messages.
This has happened so many times I can't enumerate. The signal is always 3G with "full bars" but voice/data/text is completely inoperable.
I have never once had capacity issues such as these with Verizon. In some places, the signal might not be as strong or the data might not be blazing fast, but if I need 911 or to get in touch with someone in a hurry, my Verizon phone will be the one I use. |

For 911 it won't matter because the phone will route the 911 call through any available carrier even if your carrier isn't available. |

but 911 wont work on an AT&T GSM Phone through verizon's CDMA network...
The reverse would be true though if you were using one of verizon's global phones (with some GSM compatibility and dialed 911 in an AT&T area) |

I said "any available carrier." The Verizon network is not available to ATT customers and vice versa.
Please READ CAREFULLY before you hit reply.
I've had to call 911 once on an ATT phone where there was no ATT signal. Dialed 911, pressed send and got through. No idea who I was going through but it went through. Probably was T-Mobile. |
