In my opinion still not as bad as T-mobile. They did the exact same thing, but have been advertising it as the "largest 4g network in America"

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

Now ifd AT&T couls just make it so you could actually make a call with out dropping it, they would be on to something.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

I don't know what you're talking about, my AT&T connection has been...

*Call ended.*

Yes, I have AT&T through work as do about 30 others nationwide and most everyone has experienced dropped calls.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

I might be lucky only time I had dropped calls were on my phone that only connected to the GSM network. I have the Samsung Captivate now and haven't had any problems with dropped calls.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

I really havent had an issue with dropped calls on my iPhone and I'm down south where reception with anything other than Verizon is pretty tricky. I'll admit my Sprint phone does tend to get better service in my area than AT&T.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

I used to have sprint back in 2000-2002 and there service sucked/poor reception i hated it,but I have heard that they have since improved and a close friend of mine has the evo thru sprint and loves it, it also keeps up with his work verizon blackberry tour.

I've noticed AT&T getting pretty costly.
I have also had dropped calls on occasion, its usually when i call other AT&T users.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

I've been both moving and stationary, watched my phone (Blackberry Bold) go from full service to none in the blink of an eye, within 20 seconds is back to full service.

I blame the magnetic pole shift.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

I've worked for Sprint now for going on two years and I will totally agree with you. I've always had AT&T and disliked Sprint, but they have gotten a lot better coverage and customer service. I still wont give up my iPhone though :spin:

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

^Yeah, but couldn't we get them jailbroken?

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

Same thing would happen with my Japanese phone in certain areas.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

My iphone 4 sucks. It always drops calls and I hate it! Next time im going to verizon.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

You can get them unlocked, but seeing as the only other major GSM carrier is
t-mobile you arent really gaining any ground except for a cheaper rate.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

It's also a pita as far as software updates go. You also end up with super-slow data speeds on Tmo since the iPhone doesn't support their higher speed data standard.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

I had no idea, looks like I'll be stuck with AT&T for quite some time.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

Well there may be another option sooner than you think :)

I've had all the major carrier's for at least a year and switched to AT&T last spring. And of all the big players I have the best reception and least amount of dropped calls. Maybe it's worse in the cities than it is out in the country where I am.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

I'll believe it when it happens. Its been talked about and "confirmed" for years now and still nothing. Even at that I've seen at least three different dates for it to be announced this year. Not saying it wont happen, just that I don't believe any of the rumors about it anymore. On top of that Verizon is sooo expensive that I would never go through them anyway.

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

So the iphone 4 is now 4g-capable? Sweet!

Re: AT&T Renames Its 3G Network a 4G Network
 

Where did you get that?
