AT&T

1 Out of 5 (1 star) | 1221 Ave.Of Americas | 49th St., New York, NY 10020 |

The middle of the universe, Times Square, and I had miserable service all around the area and within all the buildings my company occupies in and around Times Square. Data wouldn't work, calls dropped constantly. I could be inside, outside, it really didn't matter. Almost everyone at my company has similar experiences. The assistants used to joke that they could tell who had ATT because we'd all congregate in the one square foot area where we could send texts. Service became so unreliable that I had to switch to Verizon. My $150 cancellation fee was the most painful expense I've ever had. Because their network is beyond miserable *I* had to pay to leave and also buy an new iPhone which was compatible with Verizon. Verizon blows AT&T away in terms of reliability of service. It works everywhere.. every time.

Sprint

Well I use Sprint the bars are 2 to 3 but with Virgin Mobile its only 2 bars and there are both the same company but they did announce that they are replacing towers so don't worry I think it will get better soon... use Sprint and Virgin Mobile..low bars for now but it works good.

Sprint

I frankly don't believe the people here saying Sprint is 5 / 5 in Manhattan. In Northern Battery Park City there is no service whatsoever. No data and so little voice that the phone doesn't ring for most calls. I work all over Manhattan and service is extremely spotty overall. The area around the MoMa in the middle of Manhattan has no service either. The phone is basically useless. I've had Blackberries on Verizon and AT&T and Sprint's service a disaster compared to both (Verizon is of course better). Under no circumstances would I recommend Sprint to an NYC resident. Can't wait to get back onto Verizon - will never consider Sprint again.

AT&T

1 Out of 5 (1 star) | Hilton - Ave.Of Americas | 53rd, New York, NY 10019 |

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.

AT&T

1 Out of 5 (1 star) | Wall St., New York, NY 10005 |

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.

No 4G reception on the 6th floor. If I manually switch to CDMA I get full 3G reception, but phone won't auto switch.

No service in building on West 86th street. Phone network changes to At&t, even though I pay for T-Mobile service. I always drop calls especially before entering the one train. Awful service.

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.
