The only way people will hear you is if you open your window and scream.

I have AT&T because of the iphone and this purchase was the worst purchase I have ever made. I used to work for AT&T and the number one complaint that I heard all day every day is that people were having multiple dropped calls. I have been all over and I cannot remember the last time I completed a full conversation without having the call dropped. And then on top of that, everytime a call drops, even is I have full bars, it will not allow me to call out. AT&T is absolutely ridiculous and they should not be able to get away with making people sign contracts until they improve their network completely.

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.

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.

As of late, AT&T cell coverage has become terrible. E.g. long delays in transmitting text messages, dropped calls, loss of service. I'm curious if this is a homeland security issue in Manhattan affecting all carriers or if AT&T is just farming out its duties to subcontractors.

This might be temporary as I have had reception here in the past, but now there is no reception between Spring St. and Houston St. on the west side of 6th Ave.

We recently moved from Chicago to Manhattan. AT&T service had been mostly reliable in Chicago, but is terrible in Manhattan. On street in front of our building, 'no service'. In various area on the streets, calls go directly to voice mail, and outgoing calls are impossible even when bars are strong. AT&T's network in Manhattan is in bad need of repair or upgrade. If it weren't for my beloved iPhone, I'd drop AT&T immediately.
