I was with T-Mobile for two years, only because I had a contract with them. I hate T-Mobile with a passion. Never got a signal and got a lot of missed calls in my apartment. Couldn't talk for more than 5 minutes because the service would drop out of no where.Even when traveling, barely received a reception. The customer service was not helpful. I switched over to AT&T and I have full bars and haven't had a drop call. I couldn't be happier.
My preferred PDA is the Palm, but reception inside building on the Treo just didn't happen. I switched to Samsung Blackjack and I can now talk inside my apartment. But, I hate the blackjack for all other functions. Other than as a phone, it sucks.
just got a new blackberry and my call sustained all the way thru on the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. I had ATT for many years and dont recall ever sustaining a call all the way thru from NY to Brooklyn.. 6 years and every time I tried, the call dropped (on GSM and later on 3G). I am so glad I switched..
I go to NY often and stay in the Sheraton Hotel on 7th Ave and 52nd Street. I prefer the lower floors (afraid of heights). I am now in the 7th Ave. side and have terrible phone and data service. I called customer service and they tell me I am 100ft away from a cell tower, so what is up with that? I cant believe AT&T is still on the cellular business.. Verizon is way much better countrywide.
Just switched from T-Mobile to AT&T because I was getting so many dropped calls with T-mobile. So far no dropped calls and better call quality. However, AT&T's customer service is horrible and the people in their stores clueless.
Reception inside the Home Depot is either poor, or nonexistent. This is not good for contractors who need to use their phone inside the store for business.
