Carrier POLL - Have any AT&T Grandfathered Unlimited people finally switched plans?

Very true. AT&T is not required to make sure that cities have good coverage.

I think all carriers, not just AT&T, want all the coverage they can get so as to not lose customers.

I don't believe AT&T decided to un-cover your area deliberately. It is not in their best interest to anger customers or eliminate entire districts from their network. In some cases there are towers that belong to local companies who refuse to lease access to Carrier A because they already have a commitment to Carrier B. In some cases there simply is no coverage at all for any carrier.

You may want to ask others in your area what providers they use and perhaps find better luck there. Years ago, I chose AT&T because they were the only option in the town I lived in. When visiting friends in certain areas of Long Island, I'd lose all coverage completely, and everyone who lived in that town used Verizon. Today, both carriers have coverage there. I was in Hong Kong two months ago and couldn't make a call from an iPhone I'd used there a dozen times. They changed partners and they used a different band. It's a fluid situation.

My AT&T service in Chicago had dead spots in affluent areas and downtown, but I stuck with my grandfathered plan because I believed it was the right thing to do. So glad they finally pissed me off enough to investigate other options. I would not go back to using AT&T unless it was the only iPhone carrier again.

I only need one line and had been overpaying for service for years. Shudder.

No problem good for us there are few more option you can do
