AT&T
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.

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!

Is this the right forum to vent about AT&T's continuing crappy lousy for sh&t signal in Manhattan? That's right - smack dab in the middle of New York, New York. The truth is the complete opposite of their new ad campaign about a better network - the reality is that AT%T's sucks! I have a beautiful view of Central Park - from my window I see the lower half of Fifth Ave. and two-thirds of Central Park South. But since the first day we got our cell phones on AT&T, the signal has been so bad that we always ask to call folks back using our land lines. No improvement at all despite five years of complaints. Now, in this neighborhood, it's getting WORSE. Yesterday and today, distortion and dropped calls all over the neighborhood. Turn the corner from 70th St.onto Central Park West and it's like turning on a fuzz box. What's the problem with AT&T? BTW, my phone is a Motorola RAZR - V3 I think.

I have never had good reception in my apartment, but that used to mean that I needed to keep my phone by the window and couldn't talk in the kitchen. Three weeks ago, I started having NO reception in my apartment - I have emergency-call-only service in all rooms of my apartment except for once in a blue moon in the back room by the window. Needless to say, it is absolutely ridiculous and there is not a thing I can do about it as long as my company is paying my phone bills. BALLS.

No reception whatsoever on the first floor back in the year 2005 when I first bought my first phone ever, I was 15 years old. As soon as you enter the building, phone showed that there is no service. Since I had no service back then I decided to switch to AT&T at the time. Well recently about a month ago, I decided to buy the cheapest prepaid T-Mobile plan to see if this problem has been fixed and because I want to leave AT&T... But as of right now year 2011, the problem hasn't been fixed! A problem that has been happening since 2005! Called T-Mobile explained it to them, that it has been years that my building never gets service from their network. They said the signal was weak in my area but they couldn't guarantee that they would install a new tower just for me. And then people wonder why they're a failing business? 6 years and they never corrected the problem. No wonder they're going out of business! However I don't agree with AT&T buying T-Mobile as I want to leave AT&T. It is better that another company buys T-Mobile so that the consumers can have another GSM choice besides AT&T! If AT&T buys T-Mobile then AT&T will have a monopoly over GSM phones period! No matter how good their service is after they merge! STILL A MONOPOLY OF GSM!

Holy ATT is bad in this area. Dropped calls, no calls, no data, slow data its miserable! They said they added wifi to relieve congestion, but even the wifi doesn't work well! What *IS* it with this company?!

Spotty. Many dropped calls. Speakerphone 'on' offers better sound but that's compared to horrible when speakerphone is 'off.'
