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.

No problems, works beautifully unless deep inside a building.

Sheeps Meadow in Central Park seems to be a big dead zone for AT&T. My friend and I were trying with a blackberry 8300 and an iphone 3g. Can't get any calls through. Takes forever to get blackberry messenger or texts through. Forget about webpages.

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.

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!

I go to NY often and stay in the Sheraton Hotel on 7th Ave and 52nd Street. I prefer the lower floors (afraid of heights). I am now in the 7th Ave. side and have terrible phone and data service. I called customer service and they tell me I am 100ft away from a cell tower, so what is up with that? I cant believe AT&T is still on the cellular business.. Verizon is way much better countrywide.

Just switched from T-Mobile to AT&T because I was getting so many dropped calls with T-mobile. So far no dropped calls and better call quality. However, AT&T's customer service is horrible and the people in their stores clueless.

I live on the ground floor and my building effectively blocks reception inside my apartment (even though service outside on 9th Ave is perfect and the AT&T cell tower is nearby on 811 10th Ave). I have become aware of the concerns and limitations regarding home installed cell repeaters and the expense of large industrial repeaters (and the requirement for carrier approval). Especially in Manhattan, it is not easy for the consumer to take measures to improve cellular reception. At the Web 2.0 Conference in November 2008, Ralph de la Vega CEO of AT&T Mobility, indicated that AT&T will initiate market testing of Femtocell technology in 2009. He also indicated plans to use an enhanced 850 MHz spectrum to improve signal in densely populated areas. These are both important enhancements. In the meantime, I really enjoy my iPhone but the reception is unreliable and I really want to use the iPhone. Verizon is much more immune to signal deterioration in the city.

almost no reception inside my 6 story building since ATT lost its lease on top of the Mark Hotel on 77th St.due to renovation there. They need to replace this tower. We receive calls but they get immediately cut off. We are now 10075 but I am reporting this as 10021 because Mobiledia does not know the new zip code has been created and will not accept a report for 10075
