Good-fucking-bye AT&T

 

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

 

+2

Anyone who wants to leave, don't let the door hit cha. I'll enjoy a better network when you leave.

 

Verizon is a great network, but their coverage is not near as good as AT&T. Even though the commercials only talk about 3G which I agree, AT&T Edge (for having a cell signal period) is in more areas than Verizon.

 

I can only speak for the are of Ohio (west central) that i live in. As far as i'm aware AT&T doesnt have as good of coverage as Verizon. Either was it will be interesting to see what might happen!

 

lol maybe in texas.
verizon kills at&t in service in new york.
if this is true... sign me up

 

Most people I know in the Bay Area tolerate AT&T because of the iPhone.

 

Dear Sprint, Please get the iPhone

 

Sure....

 

Verizon kills AT&T here as well.

 

smart phone market share

43% att

27% ver

20% the rest

... shake up is about to happen...

 

LOL...if the "phone" part of the iPhone is improved, i would consider one...

 

What's wrong with it (besides the service complaints)?

 

Not per their maps.

 

I'd welcome Verizon and switch back over to them.

 

Meh. This has been in talks for a while and every few months there is a new article saying it's going to happen.

 

....

 

IPHONE sucks now HTC HD2

 

that's the funniest thing i've heard in a while.

 

HTC HD2 FTW

 

Just got a iPhone 3gs I love it!

 

..sorry, I took so long... I answered, but the "server update" took me offline before I could submit it... LOL

my friend who has an iPhone said that compared to his previous phones, while living in the same area, the iPhone was by far the worst actual "phone"... poor call quality, etc

 

... I really like my Pre, but the iPhone was my other option...

 

I've just decided that if VZ gets the iPhone then its FU Tmo and bye bye nexus one.

 

yeah until you pull off any major highway.

AT&T is a fucking joke.

 

The iphone is projected to be with Verizon in January 2011, so we still got a little while.

 

Never had an issue.

 

Come to NYC, the iPhone is practically unusable. This isn't some reject Ohio city, it's the center of the world and I couldn't even send an e-mail with my iPhone.

T-mobile works flawlessly.

 

if you're only in major cities you wont

their commercials are bullshit too....they wont ever show their real 3G map.

goto their website and see how hard it is to find it. Im only talking 3G, not cell coverage

 

See my post above yours.

 

I will consider going with it for my next phone. I will NEVER leave verizon. I don't have a home phone so my cell coverage is very important.

 

I know everyone has there own preference in phones companies, but im with Sprint cause i have a killer plan, and the next best thing to a iphone ( without the apps ) on Sprint is the Samsung Instinct ( in my opinion) I still have the 1st gen one and its been reliable and fun to use with the touchscreen similar to iphone, just doesnt have any apps at all, not that you really need them, I just like the touchscreen ability and easy texting from it as well, Be nice if the other companies can get the phone away from AT&T though.

also to add my 2 cents, its all a matter of area or city for the coverage, here where im at, AT&T sucks! and i will never go back to them, Verizon is good, as is Sprint where im at anyway

 

 

I drove from DC to Canton Ohio, buddies network card for laptop Verizon, his cellphone AT&T, it use effing useless. Had signal for laptop 90% of the time, his cellphone maybe a third of the time. He used my cellphone (Verizon) to talk as he worked.

 

One of my IT guys at work brought me his iPhone on Friday. He showed me that his network-on his iPhone is on Verison!

He has one of the Dev contracts with the iPhone.

I drove across the country in a RV last summer from LA to NYC. Those of us with iphones typically had a signal or better service better than any other phones/service providers on the RV. And when we didnt have a signal, neither did anyone else.

That said....even I can admit the actual phone on the iphone is not a good phone. That said, I dont think my Treo was much better.

 

I've been with AT&T for about five years now. I can count on one hand the times where I've gone through areas without coverage.

Now, 3G has been flaky at times here in Atlanta, with dead zones. That's why I say when everyone jumps ship, the network will be better.

Also, everyone claims that 850MHz is supposed to be better than 1900MHz for penetrating into buildings. Why is it that I've seen completely the opposite?

 

I have had Verizon, and Sprint and I do a lot of driving in the rural areas of Texas. And sorry to say AT&T has a signal where my Verizon and Sprint never did and way more places. Now I can go places and not worrying about having a signal as my phone will still work. These days I laugh at my friends who say their Verizon has better coverage which isn't true and it isn't working when we go out of town together somewhere.

3G, big deal, I don't care. I rather have a signal that works (EDGE) than worry about Internet speed and call quality vs Edge.

 

uhh
