AT&T
Phone says 3-4 bars, but drops calls repeatedly. Could be the UN, but Verizon users don't seem to have the same problem.

3g Service in Union Square NYC is non existing. I had a Nokia N75 and I thought my problem was the old handset (well thats what the AT&T store reps said trying to make me renew my contract ). Now that I have the iphone 3gs I get the same problem. I spoke with a rep at the AT&T store on 14th street and he told me to switch to EDGE for a week. I spoke to numerous reps over the phone and they said it seems to be faulty 3g cell towers in the area being worked on. I say we all should complain and get a class action lawsuit going on and get some money back or get AT&T to change the rates for 3G service... ..

No problems, works beautifully unless deep inside a building.

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.

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.

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!

It may not be the fanciest handset anymore but not a single dropped call on my Verizon Razr in about 2 years at this location!

When going into the BBT from Manhattan to Brooklyn the first 3rd of the tunnel has no reception. Halfway to Brooklyn it jumps to 5 Bars. Same going the other way. I switched from Verizon to AT&T, there is more dropped calls when driving.

Shows good reception, but when in a call, it is impossible to hear the other person, and the calls get cut off.
