Okay, so I'm really wondering why everyone complains about the service AT&T provides.
So the question is, where do you get bad service? -Basement, house, car, etc.
Do you actually get a lot of drop calls?
Poor phone call receptions? -Static?
So these are a few questions I feel like asking. Let's really not try to be bias. I've only been with AT&T.
The first question answer for me is I get bad signal in very few places where most of my friends do as well with Verizon. I got bad signal in my dorm rooms when in college but that was just the bottom floor / lunch area because it was under 6 floors and then the bottom where laundry area were it was underground.
I don't get many drop calls though I don't call as much people do. I use about 200minutes a month and I maybe get 1 dropped call?
I never get static, I get chopped voices but even then it's because they are driving through a bad area they know about. I maybe get it once a month because of an area.
My main problem with AT&T is that I can't tether right now, even though I hardly have a use for it but it's nice when I'm at the airport. I fly about 2-6 times a year, not sure if that's normal. The second problem is that I am paying for the 7.2mbps and I'm not receiving it yet. I understand it takes time to set up these networks so it can handle the load but, they've had time and I bet Apple said they wanted the 3GS to be faster a long time ago. They did some what drop the ball on MMS. Though, again understandable for how many iPhones have been sold in the US alone and how much they've increased mobile data traffic.
My main problem isn't with AT&T as it is with Apple. I enjoy my iPhone and such. I had the original and now the 3GS but I'm still sometimes having the same issues. One is sometimes getting missed calls and no ringing. Second, being text messages being delayed or not even sent at times (could be AT&T service, so either or on that account). Sometimes getting voicemails days later (again it could be software or AT&T service). So those are my main problems with the phone but it's understandable with a smartphone such as this.
This isn't to be a rant, but to see if people actually have the same problem such as my voicemail or phone quality. I really don't see it to be that bad as people say it to be. I've had the first one for 2 years and now the 3GS for almost 4 months?
