Hit and miss no DATA most of the time although I get full bars! Piece of shit network AT&T! STAY AWAY NEVER AGAIN!

I would do anything to get off AT&T at this point. THere's no way I'm renewing the contract that's for sure. It's just terrible. Shows full bars, but tehre's no internet, no txt messages. As of the time of this writing my phone is one of the top tier phones you can buy, and it's a very thin, very light, paperweight. Manhatten coverage is just absolutely terrible for their supposed "4G" network.

In my office the iphone is useless. All it can do is send text messages (Not iMessages). incoming notifications will occasionally get through. Any data usage is pretty much nonexistent. If I restart my phone, I get a small window of about 5 minutes where I can suddenly download data or take any sort of advantage of 3G network. Then it goes back to showing full bars, but not working. ATT has become awful in the past year. Completely unreliable. I've checked with others I know in the area, and they have the exact same thing. We are basically paying for nothing. Outside the building is basically the same, very poor data.

In the heart of Times Square. I get absolutely no 3G service even though iPad is showing 4-5 bars. It worked okay (but not great) up until about a monh ago. Then it just went dark in early Dec. No service whatsoever. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Absolutely useless. Absolutely pathetic for AT&T to. Of have service in Times Square, New York City. Anyone wanna trade a Verizon iPad for an AT&T iPad?

No calls received, no texts coming in or going out unless I switch my network to Edge. Doesn't make sense I can't use my phone in the heart of Times Square.

Awful reception in this building and downtown area as a whole. Funny thing is within the office I can receive and make calls + SMS, but data is very slow. In the halls of the bldg though, calls drop and SMS's do not come in at all. Outside the bldg on Church St., no data comes thru even at full bars!

AT&T reception is HORRIBLE! I dont understand this is the middle of a MAJOR city..on the top floor a building! I I got service in the subway UNDERGROUND in Chicago... I can't wait to switch to Verizon. This is so sad, shame on you AT&T :*(

AT&T has proven to be a very disappointing phone service. I cannot call within my room, and I am forced to go outside in the freezing cold, just to even make 10 second calls. The service is terrible. Recently, I went outside to make a call. The phone said I had four bars, but my call was dropped four times. By far the worst phone service out there, I will be switching to Verizon come January.

Phone will show varying number of bars, but calls and data remain spotty. Takes FOREVER to load emails; calls cut out often. Service becomes better after going north.

New iPhone 4s with four bars 3G and the data service is useless during weekdays. We arrived on Sunday and ATT's data service was great, more than 5 Mbps download speed. This morning it came to a screeching halt, even with 4-5 bars showing. Who are these people, charging $25 / mo for cellular data service that sucks this badly!

I have 4s. have full bars and yet cant access the internet or stream music. there's no point in having a phone.

Can anybody tell me if the 4s is any better in mid-town. I noticed that it claims to use two anttenas for better receptions -is that true? I HATE at&t

I may have 4 bars but service is schetchy. Just got off the phone with a rep who told me there are 4 cell towers out, and they've been out since yesterday. The real kicker is with their new contract agreement, they don't give credits for lack of service anymore. Imagine that, they're in business to provide service, yet they can get away with not providing service. What a joke!

I do not understand this... the phone says it has 5 bars of 4G, but the internet is super slow... simply put my phone does not work in any building. ATT is really bad, Im stuck with them for another 2 years...

I have AT&T, live next to the museum of natural history and yet... ... .yet, I cannot get a single bar of AT&T service in my very own apartment. We all know AT&T stinks for cell coverage in NYC, but one would think being located virtually next to one of the largest NYC tourist attractions, I might have a little bit of coverage. Nope. On a good day, you can find my husband and I waving our hands / phones in the air in 1 of 2 very precise spots within our apartment that once in a while, will actually transmit a text message. I don't understand how AT&T is getting away with this! I'm certainly far from a legal expert but isn't a contract a binding agreement that BOTH parties hold their end of the bargain? How is it that I am unable to terminate my contract when the other end is not fulfilling their end of the agreement??? To make matters worse, I pay a substantial amount of money to have this "phone service" each month yet I have to take private and / or professional calls in public on city streets and parks because I can't make a call in my own home? I once had to take a job interview via phone in a starbucks and was mortified when the baby next to me began screaming... ..I ducked into the restroom. The day my contract expires I am chucking my iPhone into the center of the street to watch MAC trucks smash over it all day long. I'm told it will cost over $200 to end my contract with AT&T, despite the fact I can't make or receive a single phone call outside of a public place. Unreal.

Terrible reception, especially data and SMS! Dropped calls, too. AT&T fail, I am switching to Verizon!

I just received the best news. The new Verizon iPhone 4s is GSM as well and can be used in Europe. Now I finally can throw my ATT iPhone off the roof. ATT reception is SO bad in the N. Y. metropolitan area, that I'm surprised that they haven't been sued yet for false advertising. Garbage. Absolute garbage. I lose 10-15 calls per day. Meanwhile, my wife has a Verizon iPhone and never has lost a call.

This is the WEIRDEST thing - I get 5 bars of 3G service in my office here, but absolutely NOTHING will load or work. I tested it out by dialing my cell from my work phone... and my cell phone didn't even ring. Makes no sense. I get better service and reception on interstate 84 up in Orange County than I do in midtown Manhattan. HOW. WHY.

ATT is simply TERRIBLE all over NYC, I only subscribed to ATT for the ATRIX, and now I am paying the price of pure aggravation on a daily basis! Every call I make, I get a drop on the line and need to reconnect... this is EVERY CALL, EVERY DAY. Crappy service support comes with ATT as well. Try complaining, you will get a CHANGE YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER! answer. Thank you ATT.

Every single call I make get dropped at least once in the course of our conversation. It takes 3+ minutes to load apps that use the web. Trying to load my twitter timeline today took more than 5 minutes. When I called to tell them about their service, they transferred me to about 6 different robot machines. When I finally spoke to a person she told me she couldn't do anything for me. I'm transferring to Verizon!
