Their policy is 30 days, you can return and avoid the ETF however you do pay a restocking fee. After that you're a 2 year AT&T customer or pay an ETF.
I heard somewhere that if you don't get service where you live ( like your house ) they will let you out of your contract. Not sure if it's true or not...
There's a difference between no service and dropped calls. Clearly if you could get out of the contract because of dropped calls, there'd be a mass exodus from AT&T
I got out of verizon this way along time ago. The coverage map has to look really bad around your zipcode. You also have to be super nice to them. I told them I used it for business and I couldn't make any calls from my home, where I ran my business. It took a little time and advancing to supervisors, but I got out of it.
FWIW, the contract you signed when you bought your iPhone has this in it, which seems to cover equipment with issues.

My friend actually got off the contract w/o paying ETF this April. He was actually having too many drop calls and as an IT manager for a startup, he just couldn't deal with it any longer. He was always on the phone with AT&T CS. One day, he finally pulled plug, and AT&T agreed to let him go.
