I have nothing but dropped calls and almost no reception in the lobby and basement of my building the same goes for my apartment unreal considering I reside in the heart of manhattan.
i have to send multiple text messages several times, I receive voicemails from calls 8hrs later, drop calls, cannot make calls, ect. I am breaking my contract to sign on with Verizon.
Calls get disconnected all the time in the middle of a conversation. During calls, the voice is broken and you cannot hear a complete sentence. You have to keep asking the caller to repeat what was just said. When you call someone and are put on hold for half an hour, it is extremely annoying to get disconnected. Is this what we are being charged big bucks for by AT&T? They deserve to be driven out of business.
Switched from AT&T to Verizon Wireless and I am so happy I did. This phone is amazing! I love it! Better then my iPhone I had. My data speeds are fast, and I have't had ANY dropped calls!
AT&T is horrible. My phone didn't ring when people call or register that I had voicemail until days after the call. When the phone did ring, I had a one-minute countdown until the reception went out and the person on the other end couldn't hear me. I use my cell phone as my primary phone to talk to clients; less than one month after buying the iPhone and starting a 2 year contract with AT&T, I had to cancel my plan (and they won't waive the cancellation fee just because of a silly thing like your phone not being capable of being used as a phone) and get a Verizon phone.
I have been with Sprint for 10 years now and I have never had any problems with reception anywhere. No dropped calls (I don't even know what it is), always full signal and I do move around in and out of different buildings in Manhattan when I go to see my clients. I definitely recommend Sprint fo everyone. Their customer service is wonderful, very kind and patient people... It's a pity though, that they do not have lower radiation phones - but then- who does?? I hope this problem will be solved in the future - nowadays Sprint has such great cell towers coverage that they can easity launch some new phones with lower SAR.
Near spotless coverage in my apartment building on the T-Mobile network, even on the lower floors, even in the elevators. Alternately, the lower floors (and my apartment, for sure) are known to be dead zones for phones running on the AT&T network. T-Mobile wins, in this case.
No reception at all for voice calling on the 3rd floor of 10 W. 15th Street. EDGE (data) requests succeed sporadically, but definitely are not instantaneous. My other cellphone is a Motorola RAZR on the T-Mobile network. It gets 5 bars in the exact same location as my Blackberry 8310 on the AT&T network. Friends with iPhones (on AT&T) were unable to place or receive phone calls or texts from my apartment. There is definitely an AT&T dead zone where I live.
