My trouble is simple, my phone works great at home, but at school I've had a couple problems. My school is under the coverage map, but my girlfriend said she called me like 3 times and it would ring once and then get a busy signal. Now that's weird because shouldn't it go into voicemail if nothing else? It didn't ring once on my end and sometimes when I try and place calls it says "Call failed." It's frustrating because this phone is amazing when it works.

Anybody else have this problem?
 
So it's more an issue with AT&T than the iPhone, then?

But does it happen that when someone calls you they get a busy signal when you're in these places?
 
If someone calls your cell phone and can't connect, a busy signal sometime occurs (or a message saying it can't connect, your out the service area, blah blah blah).

A good question to ask would be does anyone else at your school have AT&T (on a different phone?) What about other cell networks?

And not to get too personal but is this a high school or a university? Universities sometimes have enough equipment and wireless signals flying all over the place that maybe that's affecting the signal too.
 
University.

It seems to mostly be happening with one person that I'm having all these problems. I've had a lot of perfect conversations, too...
