How good is AT&T's cellphone service?

Question

i have sprint and would like to switch to at&t so i can get the iphone. i've never had a problem with sprint, i love them! as for at&t i've heard a lot of complaints such as having many dropped calls and no service, so i'm wondering if it is even worth switching? any advice, comments... thanks!

Answer 1

I live in the boondocks SC....next to a cow pasture.

Now i never dropped a call with my last phone the new one i got i hate and sometimes i dont have a signal at all i think when i switch my phone i wont have any problems again. but when im out and about i have a full signal so i would say the service is as good as the phone. But an iphone should be the ish with the signal thing

  

                   I say go for it and dont look back

Answer 2

Well for starters i would use tmobile over at&t very bad customer service. I have friends who work for them which now there wireless svc is based more solely on cingulars networks. On top of that when I initially got my phone they had opened 5 additional accounts under my name which were fraudulant, come to find out it was an employee. They also kept telling me that I didnt pay my bill and I had to keep going to the bank and getting the check to verify that I had. All in all I cancelled svc and went to tmobile and have found no problems so far. As for the Iphone I would rather use the new LG myself. So to answer your question no its not worth switching to them, but I would leave sprint if i was you. Since there split with embarq they are nothing but problems.

I have been with multiple providers over the years, and have had problems with them all.   I am currently have the iPhone 3G with at&t, and haven't had any more problems than I usually get with a provider. Definitely don't have all the dropped calls I did w/ my blackjack (also at&t).  The best thing would be to talk to people in your area to find out who gets the better service, cause coverage for some providers is better than others in certain areas.  And even then,  even with the same provider in the same area you can have problems on one phone and not the other.

I love it, I switched from Verizon to AT&T a few months ago and have no regrets. I live in Central Jersey and have had no problems. We have also driven to Hunstville, Alabama then to Tulsa, Oklahoma all with  no service issues. I love having roll over minutes and never worry about going over. You can also use what ever GSM phone that will accept the AT&T frequency. You should be fine !
