Both of my Motorola V3 (2G phone) and iphone 3gs (set on 2g mode) has numerous dropped calls, intermittent poor reception, and "call failed" (unable to connect incoming and outgoing calls) starting Oct. 2009. Tried other 2g phones with same results. So AT&T recommend going with only a 3g type phone and pay an extra $20 or $30 per month data plan on top of my current plan for the 3g priviledge to get better voice calls. Man, that's how they drain every bit of money from their customers.
Reception rating is 4 or 5 bars, but calls from inside my highrise condo are dropped on a regular basis. Considering the monthly fees, this is very disappointing.
Phone shows 2-3 bars until you dial then it drops to 1-2 bars and you better make it quick, because you WILL lose the call in a couple minures or less.
I had T-Mobile and switched to At&T because of the Iphone... . my reception is really bad and I have dropped calls all the time. This is the worst service I have ever had.
AT&T has recently started dropping calls around this area - Notoriously. I have been experiencing this for the past few weeks, prior to that it was fine. I've seen similar reports on this forum. Recently, my calls drop 100% of the time when entering this horrible dead zone. The zone continues all the way to (at least) trinity mills and Vail, and will occasionally drop calls when stationary on Vail St.
Terrible reception in this neighborhood with AT&T / Cingular. Been bad for the entire 5 years I've lived here. Not sure why, as towers are located on either side of quadrant, but the bottom line is, coverage stinks anyway. Problem is, no one else has any better coverage here. You can be certain that the 1st carrier to give great coverage here will inherit a lot of new customers and as quickly as they can opt out of the old plan. It has become a running joke among the neighbors. Outside of our neighborhood, with the possible exception of Central at the M Streets, I have always gotten great coverage. But my wife can clam the same on a different provider. So, we are really just waiting for someone to improve the home reception and that's where we'll sign on.
