Hey all, I've searched the forums for this, but haven't found anything similar.
I've had my 16 gig 2G iPhone since last Feb. It's been the best piece of technology I've ever used. However, in the last two months, my reception for the phone has steadily decreased. Places where my reception was maxed out is now 2 bars. Places where reception was 1 or two bars or spotty, now is nill. I'm dropping calls when up until two months ago I'd dropped none.
I treat my phone with tremendous care and it has not been dropped or hit beyond normal wear and tear.
I've called ATT and they've sent this "signal to boost your reception" which I didn't see making any difference. It get worse by the week. I turn off and reset my phone some days up to 4 times. Last week out of frustration, I did a factory reset and started from scratch.
I called ATT last night and they recommended bringing my phone to an Apple Store.
My issue is, if I have to get a new phone, I can't make use of the 3G network in Northern Minnesota and don't want to have to pay for what I can't use... If they replace my phone, is there any way they'd replace it with a 2G? Does the assembled think it is the phone or the network.
Let me know what you think?
Thanks in advance
