I've had tons of dropped calls too, and have encountered more dead spots in the last 3 or 4 months than I did in the first 12 or 13 months of me having their service. Their service is just awful now...for me. |

Looking on their coverage maps, the areas that even show "moderate" coverage we have zero signal. I have been working with them to do network tests, etc but nothing. My wife is ready to drop them soon.

Ditto - I drop CingulAT&Tr like a dropped call and went with Verizon.
So far my calls have been landline like quality. Thanks AT&T. |

I would, but at $175 per line I have an issue coughing up $350 to drop a service that has sucks now. I am close though to them saying they will wave the fee.
The plans on Verizon are similar to what we have now, but I was not impressed with the Verizon phone lineup.

Ditto ditto. This morning I got dropped four times during a single call. The service has been crappy for the past three or four months now. My family and I are seriously looking at alternatives even though we've been with Cingular for nearly three years. |

The one thing Verizon doesn't have is rollover minutes.. which is why we switched from Verizon. Tired of getting a bill once a year that was $200+'s. Always seems to be one month where my wife goes crazy. All the rest we'll use less than 300mins. |

Yeah, it's funny. I'm in St Louis, and the people that I'm talking to that drop the MOST calls all have AT&T. One knows where his "dead areas" are and warns me when he is approaching one. Another friend dropped a call the other day sitting in a drive-up (not moving) on a major road.
I have Sprint and it is EXTREMELY rare for me to drop a call, and I can't specifically name a "known" dead spot in St Louis.
We were recently in the mountains in Colorado... while I was roaming sometimes, my phone worked everytime I tried to make a call. Two people with me with AT&T could not call from a decent sized mountain town. |

You are right, no roll-over minutes like Cingular/AT&T. Had Cingular through my employer. Finally went with Verizon on the Family Plan which does offer shared minutes. I ended up carrying 2 phones...work/home. Now my Vzn contract is up, wanted to go to Cingular since AT&T took over cuz I heard more towers and tower power and I can add it to my U-verse or phone bundle. Good to learn now that service has not improved before I switch. Besides, On-Star uses Vzn and I can add it onto my Family Plan for $9.95 with an extra 100 minutes, so may stick with Vzn for now (new car). I thought I heard something about a common tower provider and separate phone companies. Anyone hear that? Is it likely? |
