AT&T
Phone will show varying number of bars, but calls and data remain spotty. Takes FOREVER to load emails; calls cut out often. Service becomes better after going north.

Awful data reception in 61 Broadway. I'm no the 22nd floor, right next to a window. Calling seems fine, data (3G or otherwise) is non-existent.

Terrible reception, especially data and SMS! Dropped calls, too. AT&T fail, I am switching to Verizon!

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!

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

Lost reception last week Wednesday April 13th. Don't know why reception dropped to zero. I think it might have been a tower issued but ATT is no help with that. I really hope this won't last long because it's our only phone and I work from home. Just another note, went to ATT on Lex and 45th st and it took less than 10 seconds (not kidding) for the guy to tell me I need a new phone because the battery is dead even though the phone is 3 months old. He said "that's electronic stuff, it just stops working"

on a very high floor and reception reads 4 bars, but interestingly, people often can't hear me or hear every other word. It seems to vary greatly if I move one foot in one direction versus another. Also, I have tons of failed calls. If I find a spot, I need to stand still to have the call.

T-mobile sucks, especially if you are attending Baruch College. It just loses signals right after I entered the building. I think I should switch to Verizon.

I read the last review (from today) and thought it was my husband, but it was not. I bought him a iPhone 4 in MA for Valentine's Day and sent him off to work in NYC. Alas, close to zero service. He is in the Wall and Pine St.area. Not sure what to do. I convinced him that the iPhone was so much better than the Blackberry he had. Oh no. Hell to pay.

AT&T should be ashamed of their lack of service in one of the major city centers in the world. In order for me to attempt to connect a call in my building, I need to sit on my windowsill with the phone laying next to me in speaker phone mode. Typically, I will need to attempt a call 5 times in a row before the "call failed" messages end, and the call actually connects. Once that happens (when the mini-miracle occurs - my cellphone actually makes a CALL), it's a crap shoot as to how long the call will stay connected. I was a Verizon consumer prior to the iPhone coming out, and I am once again a Verizon consumer with a brand new iPhone4. I will NEVER go back to AT&T.
