AT&T

Terrible coverage. Slow speeds. 3G blows. EDGE is too slow.

There is an AT&T store right there too, and just two buildings in there's almost never any reception. Also, Bowery, 6th and 7th Ave between Houston and 14th St.make up a whole swath of poor-to-no reception. Its like a huge chunk of lower Manhattan is just off the grid.

Cingular was decent but then I moved to Church St.and ATT bought out Cingular, then problems started: Dropped calls, reception just fades even if I'm not moving, many calls go right to voice mail, or I can't hear the call, I just get every other word. It's very frustrating, I'm on the 30th floor with wide open views, even to the cell tower just 5 blocks away.

I have the first edition iPhone and have had virtually no problems with my phone wherever I may have gone. I've even gotten random pings of reception in the subway! Very strong signal and data transfers, even though the unit was purchased over a year and a half ago (and subsequently dropped many, many times). I've had typical call drops in elevators, but that's pretty much it.

Data service is slow to nonexistent even with full bars of 3G.

I bought an iPhone 3G from the Apple Store on 14th St. three days ago, and thus was forced to switch to AT&T from Verizon Wireless despite many, many happy years with them. Tomorrow I will be returning the iPhone, sadly. The hardware and many apps are excellent... but AT&T service in Manhattan is absolutely the WORST! In my apartment, in restaurants, in office buildings -- even in Grand Central! -- over the last couple of days I have had dropped calls and virtually NO access to Internet and email. Whenever I step out onto the street, the signal is perfect... but the iPhone with AT&T service is virtually UNUSABLE in New York City. And I have tried to use it in SEVERAL neighborhoods, and always the same problem. Tomorrow, as I said, I am returning the iPhone, quitting AT&T, switching BACK to Verizon Wireless, and getting a BlackBerry touchscreen through my Verizon store. If you live in NYC and are thinking of getting an iPhone... DON'T DO IT! You will regret it. UNUSABLE!

Had Verizon for nearly 15 years and NEVER had a dropped call. Recently I switched to AT&T for the iPhone and had almost 25 dropped calls per day. Switched back to Verizon and LOVE my service. Great, crisp sound quality!

Becoming practically not worth using. Landline more and more practical, at least reliable. Dropped calls getting worse and worse. Usually have plenty of bars, but calls die nonetheless. Lately almost every single call: drops, then drops, then drops. I know there's interference from 60 Hudson with all the dishes, etc... . but this is getting unbearable. Calls never drop outside or other locations.

I love my iPhone but despise ATT... their coverage is awful. The only way I can use the phone where I live and work is to stand at the window!
