I have been with AT&T like forever. I have been pretty frustrated lately with the No Service messages. Lately, my IPhone 3GS has been roaming trying to find the network. This drains all the battery. I wrote a letter to corporate in the summer, and after numerous interventions and admission that the area has poor reception, I was given a $150.00 credit on my phone bill. I was told that they were working on a tower and that the reception would greatly improve after 8-20-11. It has not happened. I am thinking about switching to Sprint or Verizon. Any comments on that?

AT&T here is horrible. I cant speak for 10 seconds also. The call drops every 4-5 Seconds. We usually manage by skipping to say "Hello" and just tell the subject in 4-5 seconds! Seriously! I am not able to change the carrier as its a Company phone.. Fighting with them to provide the alternate carrier. or re-imubrsement.. I know AT&T is making good money.. why not invest some in new towers?? Its Sad!

The Iphone has a lot of nice features,but as a phone it has very bad reception with too many dropped calls

Have four different ATT (cingular) cell phones. They all drop calls 90% of the time. Very very poor reception. The phones work 1 / 4 mile away from home.

Went from Samsung to Nokia hoping the reception would improve. Constant dropped calls. Would get 3 bars when phone was opened but would go down to 1 or no bars after number was dialed. Reception was the same both inside and outside.

Barely get one bar on first floor of home, can get up to four bars when standing on second floor by a south facing window late at night. Calls are unreliable during the day - very garbled and frequent drops.

Inside our house, the signal fluctuates between 0 and 3, occassionally spiking briefly to 4 or 5. Most calls are unclear or dropped. Outside, the signal is only slightly stronger.

Good reception with ATT. Can make calls indoors. I'm usually on the Sprint network, which is slightly above horrible in this area; but I've bought a Go Phone to test out the ATT network. The A117 phone I'm using is cheap, but still gets a better signal from the local towers than my mid-level Sprint phone.

towers are right next door, and cause buzzing and noise in phone, but when I switched to Verizon wireless, it went away, and I got bars again

Dumped Verizon - could not make or receive calls at home OR work (Buffalo Grove) and Rt 53 commute was spotty. But with CINGULAR GSM and a Motorola MPX220, I always connect from work, from most areas inside my home, and I never drop a call on my commute. In fact, I've never dropped a call period.
