AT&T
I work in 49th and 6th. I am in edge most of the time, without 4G coverage. When I do get it the signal is so bad I can't even check my email. Even when I leave the building and I try from the street the signal is weak. This is Times Square, the center of Manhattan. If we don't get good service from AT&T here, what are we to expect?

T-mobile in midtown is TERRIBLE inside office buildings. Data connection is virtually non-existent most of the business day, especially during stock market hours. Even when the signal indicator shows 4 or 5 bars, the internet still doesn't connect. Call quality is also very choppy. Signal strength would fluctuate between 4 bars and no network, as if there are too many T-Mobile subscribers for their towers to handle. However, T-Mobile data connection in Brooklyn is fantastic, often reaching 3.5G.

Many times I got 5 bars, and the call get dropped, anyway I live in 42 St. "the heart of NYC and I cant believe how horrible is the service here, continuous calls dropped, all time, and ATT reps telling you about "towers being down" in Philadelphia and NJ, What? Im done with AT&T, why don't invest some money on actually improve the service instead of wasting money on TV commercials about how great is their Crappy service.

Even after forcing Apple to replace the original Iphone 4G with a new one this week, calls continue to drop and / or calls go directly to voicemail. This is so bad that I reconnected my Land line

Calls get disconnected all the time in the middle of a conversation. During calls, the voice is broken and you cannot hear a complete sentence. You have to keep asking the caller to repeat what was just said. When you call someone and are put on hold for half an hour, it is extremely annoying to get disconnected. Is this what we are being charged big bucks for by AT&T? They deserve to be driven out of business.

Switched from AT&T to Verizon Wireless and I am so happy I did. This phone is amazing! I love it! Better then my iPhone I had. My data speeds are fast, and I have't had ANY dropped calls!

3rd floor of an office building smack dab in the middle of Manhattan and all I get is 3 bars. And I'm near a window!

I have been with Sprint for 10 years now and I have never had any problems with reception anywhere. No dropped calls (I don't even know what it is), always full signal and I do move around in and out of different buildings in Manhattan when I go to see my clients. I definitely recommend Sprint fo everyone. Their customer service is wonderful, very kind and patient people... It's a pity though, that they do not have lower radiation phones - but then- who does?? I hope this problem will be solved in the future - nowadays Sprint has such great cell towers coverage that they can easity launch some new phones with lower SAR.

I just switched to T-mobile, and I have no service at all in Grand Central Terminal, New York. Can't believe it.
