[iPhone] what do you think of this one

»money.cnn.com/2010/07/23/technol···ndex.htm

Well - I for one really cant complain about ATT. I have been a cellular one->cingular->att customer for MANY years. I have suffered through rural coverage but have alsways had sufficient signal at home and no problem at work or traveling.

I recently had some issues with support and this was resolved to my satisfaction.

I really cant complain

1) I can't stand that dude's face. I cringe every time I see it.
2) I started cell service with Southwestern Bell who was then Cingular who is now AT&T. I have never used another company so that says something right there. I used them in TX, KY, FL, and all over New England and it just works.

Other than a dropped call here and there (and it's not often) and one frustrating spot in town where data is dog slow (happens to be my local bar dangit, lol), I have only ever been AT&T since the days of analog. I went a year or two with no cell in there but AT&T all the way. I am lucky that I live in a good coverage area in all honesty.

I'm a fan of ATT. Had Cingular and then ATT. My area is good. When I didn't have an iPhone I never had issues. When I got the iphone I might have had a dropped call or two that I didn't notice on my other phones. HOwever, with the iPhone 4 and the new algorithm I don't drop any calls. In places where I would drop with the iPhone 3G/3GS, i still maintain it or it just may be a little garbled.

In my experience, AT&T is not only excellent, but significantly BETTER than Verizon in upstate NY. They've been building agressively. New stories are popping up about Verizon's bandwidth being swamped in some places now that Android phone apps are growing in number and usefulness....another case of history repeating.

Heh. They're straining with just this. Imagine if they had to support a network of iPhone users.

I agree with the coverage in NY state... While up to now it has been edge (where I live) I am aware that ATT plans on lighting up my county (Orange) the end of August with 3G and a planned increase of 30% in coverage.

Nice to see

I have no problems with AT&T. They work everywhere I go and I travel quite a bit. I wouldn't say I love them, but I have no issue with them.

No problems with AT&T and in terms of billing accuracy, they are far better than the nightmare that is Verizon Wireless.

So are all the complainers we live with on these forums trolling or simply jealous Verizon customers that want the iphone ??



I mean there are some pretty vile comments made on here about ATT......

It wasn't until I switched last year to AT&T that I realized how bad VZ was.

It all depends upon where you live. Some places have good coverage, some do not.

I have very poor coverage in my Apt. However, I live in a 78 unit building, and I can go to another Apt and get full bars.

If you need a re-format, just ask and I'll do it. If you don't need one, just give me 5 minutes with your computer, and you will.

There are a couple of reasons I will be switching back to VZ when my contract is up, but the main reason is, unless AT&T fixes it, the coverage in my office building. Otherwise the service is acceptable. I had no issues with service when I had VZ.

When you click on that link, do you see how big that phone is! It's like holding a brick in your hand! I'm glad Apple has decided to stay smaller since I would not like to whip out that huge phone!

Sounds more like you need to talk to your IT department and install a cellular repeater... If your company is too small - give the ATT Buisness rep a call (ask for his name at any ATT store). They have options.

A local resturant that my wife manages has crappy ATT cell reception inside the building, I contacted the Buisness rep and they are installing a repeater - they are looking at it as a possible buisness contact for the future.

I figure my company would have done that already considering we get a discount from AT&T and most of the blackberry's in use here are AT&T. Everyone complains about the crappy reception. We have ~10,000 employees total and about 400 - 500 or so in this building, but we are also located in an up and coming area of Seattle that is just now being really built up.

Edit: The other reason I most likely will be switching back is most family members are also on VZ the calling plan that I need doesn't include the calling circle or whatever the hell it's called.

Wouldn't all the people that really hate ATT just move to a different network thus increasing the % of satisfied customers?

I personally don't have a problem with att because i get my 23% discount with them. I've rarely dropped calls and get reception everywhere i go.
My contract is up and i'll probably stick with them with a month-to-month billing until they get a phone that i like.

Verizons network is over hyped by att haters. They have more 3g coverage, but i don't think they're any better.
Plus GSM > CDMA.
