Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
In my opinion still not as bad as T-mobile. They did the exact same thing, but have been advertising it as the "largest 4g network in America"

Now ifd AT&T couls just make it so you could actually make a call with out dropping it, they would be on to something.

I don't know what you're talking about, my AT&T connection has been...
*Call ended.*
Yes, I have AT&T through work as do about 30 others nationwide and most everyone has experienced dropped calls.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
I might be lucky only time I had dropped calls were on my phone that only connected to the GSM network. I have the Samsung Captivate now and haven't had any problems with dropped calls.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
I really havent had an issue with dropped calls on my iPhone and I'm down south where reception with anything other than Verizon is pretty tricky. I'll admit my Sprint phone does tend to get better service in my area than AT&T.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
I used to have sprint back in 2000-2002 and there service sucked/poor reception i hated it,but I have heard that they have since improved and a close friend of mine has the evo thru sprint and loves it, it also keeps up with his work verizon blackberry tour.
I've noticed AT&T getting pretty costly.
I have also had dropped calls on occasion, its usually when i call other AT&T users.

I've been both moving and stationary, watched my phone (Blackberry Bold) go from full service to none in the blink of an eye, within 20 seconds is back to full service.
I blame the magnetic pole shift.

I've worked for Sprint now for going on two years and I will totally agree with you. I've always had AT&T and disliked Sprint, but they have gotten a lot better coverage and customer service. I still wont give up my iPhone though  |

Same thing would happen with my Japanese phone in certain areas.

You can get them unlocked, but seeing as the only other major GSM carrier is
t-mobile you arent really gaining any ground except for a cheaper rate. |

It's also a pita as far as software updates go. You also end up with super-slow data speeds on Tmo since the iPhone doesn't support their higher speed data standard. |

I had no idea, looks like I'll be stuck with AT&T for quite some time.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
I've had all the major carrier's for at least a year and switched to AT&T last spring. And of all the big players I have the best reception and least amount of dropped calls. Maybe it's worse in the cities than it is out in the country where I am.
