AT&T is how I spell FAIL!

Okay - I'm just about at the end of my rope with AT&T. At least a third of my calls are dropped...if I can make a call at all.

Who meets your cell phone needs?

Thanks!

I've had Sprint for about 5 years now, and have had good results with them. The only dropped calls I have a problem with is when going down the road, and changing from one cell tower to another.

I'm with Verizon by way of Alltel. I'm very pleased. From time to time, but not often, I drop one changing towers. Last night I was on the phone for an hour and 15 minutes between Houston and San Anton. Not so much as a hiccup. The guy I was talking to is also with Verizon.

I should add that I don't have a fancy phone, just a Krazer. I hear that the AT&T thing is worse if you have an I-Phone.

I Have Verizon, I Got mad at them about a Month ago so I Dropped them and went with AT&T..That Lasted 6 Days because there are a lot of Dead Zones and Dropped Calls so I Went Back to Verizon....I Believe that I am Going to Stay with them for a Long Time Now that we got the Over Billing Problem Taken Care of! You Just Have to Watch Their Billing Close or they will Get you!

Verison for years, no problems.

I used to have SPRINT but I had waaaay too many dropped calls & other problems with them so I changed to SPRINT and have been really happy ever since. I hardly ever have any dropped calls anymore and I get better coverage than I ever did with SPRINT.

**Wingnut** · 12-11-2009, 07:10 PM

Duh.......I meant that I changed to AT&T from SPRINT.

**TeamCaffee** · 12-11-2009, 08:41 PM

We have Sprint, AT & T, and Verizon and I really believe that the AT&T has the worst service of them all. Verizon and Sprint really seem to be about the same. I have a Sprint Aircard and I have been really happy with it.

could it be that euro centric gsm chip they use to be compatible with their international customer base?

i have one spot where i have a drop. it is when i cross the cheddar curtain on 94 going into ill.

I have an iphone and don't have much trouble with it. I turn 3g off to conserve power unless I'm going to do email or something that can benefit from it. I'm told it doesn't benefit phone calls and in some cases makes it more likely to drop calls. I think that's true because initially I left it in 3g all the time and dropped calls now and then and also ran out of battery much sooner. I also have tmobile and do pretty well with it as well.

How did you you go from love to hate? Has this problem gotten worse, or are you just finally fed up? Are you doing more traveling and just noticing the problem when away from the home area?
Have you seen the new Application for reporting service failures?

**Dakota** · 12-12-2009, 02:39 PM

I have Verizon and Nextel(Sprint). The Nextel is better then it was years ago, but not as good as Verizon. There are still plenty of deadzones. While Verizon is not perfect it is better then most. Also if you have the iphone, check out the new Droid or HTC Droid, since they are similiar to the iphone.
Droid has real keyboard and a virtual one, HTC only has virtual(more like an iphone)
