- WiseWeasel, on 10/10/2007, -3/+45Seriously, I get dropped calls with AT&T all the frickin' time! When I'm standing perfectly still with 5 bars, no less...
- McLumpy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33Is there any phone network that *doesn't* suck? Or at least isn't run by utter douchebags? This isn't sarcasm, I actually want to know.
- unclesaamm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21I use AT&T, and I don't get a signal in my own house. Needless to say, I'm switching.
- TekeeTakShak, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21You know what's worse? Cingular was pretty good for me...now that it merged with AT&T, I get dropped calls all the time. I didn't sign up for this *****! I woke up one day to find my wallpaper on the phone saying "AT&T" instead of "CINGULAR" and I immediately knew I was *****.
- Chicken, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Tmobile has the best customer service in my opinion and I haven't had much dropped calls at all but I do have those occasional calls that are crossed with another person's call.
(I'm talking to a friend and all of a sudden the line cuts off and this lady is screaming in italian and me and her are confused and then we get switched back.) - JKVM, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20Love my iPhone. Hate AT&T. At least it's my company paying for it, not me.
- juttman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16No Jedi mind-trick will make me believe bro
- AdamFromMyspace, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13I've been on a nationwide T-mobile plan for four years now and haven't had any complaints.
- fsumus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Verizon completely cripples their phones, but their service has been impeccable for me. The only dropped calls I have gotten over 4 years is due to the other party.
- Phyltre, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Nope, there's not much real competition so they all suck with near-equal abandon.
- brusty, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I'm officially moving to T-Mobile. Since I moved to Los Angeles three months ago, reception has been horrible with many dropped calls. Screw AT & T.
- nzezelj89, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10LAWL!! good thing t-mobile rocks, i noticed they started using "fewest dropped calls in chicago", well, that was after i bought my phone, but still, it was a good feeling inside, plus, when i was with Cingular, the customer support was HORRIBLE!! T-mobile was quick and simple, glad i switched :-) BTW, sorry for anyone that bought the iPhone, great phone....***** service
- skottles, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I used to have T-Mobile and in the seven years i was with them i could count how many times i had a dropped call on one hand. Now i am with ATT (and the iPhone) and my phone drops calls a hand full of times in a given week. Is it ATT or the iPhone? or a combo of both? I would go back if i could at this point.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Look people, all cell phone carriers are great AND they all suck at the same time. Where one carrier has great coverage another has a black hole and ALL of them drop calls. It's a frickin' radio for chrissakes. There is no sense in bitching about one carrier over another. I sold cell phones from ATnT, Sprint, T-mob, Verizon, and Nextel for 8 years and I had a dealer line with all of them so I know where they work and where they don't. If you want a cool phone just go get the cool phone and forget about who the carrier is. You're going to hate them anyway.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9AT&T will instead boast that they have: "more bars in more places."
Are they referring to the amount of their customers who get put behind bars through their compliance with the US government? - BillyBIanks, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I second the "crippled" phones as well as the fact that Verizon virtually never drops my calls.
I'm very happy, but I pay for it, trust me... - tehWyman, on 08/19/2009, -0/+7I lost calls on Verizon, but only because I live in Wyoming.
They have fairly good deals though, but they are run by douchebags. - j0keR, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Next time don't go with a provider that's actively working with the government to wiretap your calls and monopolize your internets.
- borninda818, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6the only other company worth considering is Verizon, which has good call quality and reception, but horrible phones. They are always one step behind the completion. And they are money hungry pigs who will screw their customers at a moments notice.
Other then that there is T mobile which is worse than AT&T, and Sprint which I'm not so sure of...so basically you're ***** either way...go to Japan. - madeingermany, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I do think tmo is better then att.
From my experience tmo has better customer service and better coverage (as those studies seem to say). - fugazi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I have never had a dropped call with Verizon. Well New Jersey isnt really an area where you cant find coverage though :P. Worked in Arizona too.
- diggmaddy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Count my vote for T-Mobile. I can't understand why people keep cursing them for "bad network". I have roamed all over the US with my T-Mobile phone and am yet to witness any "no service" or dropped calls within the last 2 years of me being with them.
- BillyBIanks, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I can't remember the last time Verizon dropped one of my calls. I've lived in Missouri and FL with the service without issues.
I'm not one to suck a Corp's balls, but they really are a good company. - Zeldafreak104, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Wait, you mean you didn't know they were lying?
- finbec, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Same here...little or no service at my house. I contacted ATT about this and they basically told me to go pound sand, because they don't 'guarantee' service everywhere. Great company.
- madeingermany, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4T-Mo has about 27 million subscribers (Q2/07)
including most people I work with - jhnewt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Oh good, they're dropping this lie for another one. (fewest drop calls -> more bars in more places)
- danasghar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I switched to T-Mo from Att&t and was amazed how good their phone and customer service was. My partner has the same blackberry with att and is constantly dropping calls and pays way more than i do a month with similar minutes
- HOOKSTER1231, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4i agree 100%, i love my t-mobile service and customer support is pretty fast, about 5 min on hold all together, i had nextel and they were far worse a few years ago, and if anyone here uses metro pcs, i feel bad for you because they must have the worst call connection rate of any provider.
- appetite, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5'Fewest dropped calls' is a useless number. My own cell phone company has the fewest dropped calls: zero. It also has zero calls.
- LonesomeFighter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4no. cingular was the company with the fewest dropped calls. THEN they merge with AT&T and since AT&T is so awful at what they do, they now suck more than everyone else.
- xGORDOx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I live in the Boston Area and I use Sprint. I don't know if they have a huge cell there or what but I have never had a "dropped call".
I remember the adds for Verizon and AT&T advertising "no dropped calls" and I had no idea what they were talking about! - gianttoolbox11, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4i just switched to AT&T from verizon a few weeks ago.....(bangs head into wall repeatedly)
- A-money, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4dude, I didn't know what a dropped call was until i switched to AT&T
- xOpifex, on 10/10/2007, -7/+10Sprint, on the other hand, is the network with the most dropped calls!
- MindTrigger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3HAH!
I laughed when I saw this because I'm switching over to Verizon today. Switching from my Blackjack to a Q. AT&T service went to ***** here in the last few months. I have no service at home now, and I live in a well populated area, with an AT&T store literally a mile and a half away. Get this.. I get between zero and 1 bars standing in the AT&T store.
T-mobile is pretty T-bagged out here as well, but Verizon is good. I'm bummed about the iphone, but there will be some nice Nokias coming down the line soon. - jonshipman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I've honestly only had 2 or 3 dropped calls since going with T-mobile back in feb. And even then it was while driving through bo-dunk county
- acetv, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I don't know, I have T-Mobile and I've had maybe three dropped calls in the five years I've been with them -- on the same phone, no less!
- anarchyx34, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3When I had T-mobile, I never had dropped calls. Now with AT&T, it happens occasionally. I'm still not complaining. Cellphone service as a whole is 10x better than it was years ago.
- pauleric, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I've used Sprint for several years, and have never had a dropped call except for two particular people, so I figure it's their cell phone's fault. But I only travel once or twice a year, but even then I've never had a problem. Maybe I'm just lucky.
- CosmicBlend, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I carry a T-Mobile phone for my personal use and just recently got issued an ATT phone for work. I could not believe how horrible the call quality and dropped calls I get with my ATT phone. I am so happy that I have kept with T-Mobile for the last 4 years.
- XBunnyRacer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I have AT&T... I will be sitting at a stop light and go from 5 bars to no service to 3 bars to no service, etc.. WHILE I'M SITTING STILL.. My contract is up in 2 months.. I'm soooo switching.. I can't freakin' wait..
- cricket01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I swore I would never go back to AT&T, but when I was looking for a new phone I was distracted by all of shiny things they had, and switched back from Verizon and bought a blackjack. I have never had so many dropped calls in my life, and as for the bars, huh! I have less bars in more places than my wife who is still on Verizon by a long shot. I end up using her phone to make calls at least a couple of times a week. In OC / LA SoCal area my experience has been Verizon has AT&T beat everyday and twice on Sunday.
- AdamFromMyspace, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3My roommate's AT&T phone doesn't work in our house either.. isn't their network supposed to be nationwide?
Nationwide.. except in residential areas. - LilRabbitFooFoo, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2Left AT&T for T-Mobile four years ago. Never going back...even for the iPhone.
- archer75, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Cell phone companies share towers. If you can't get reception with one you won't get it with another. It has more to do with the phone itself than anything else.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2After using Verizon and AT&T in L.A. and Chicago, I know this: AT&T sucks ass, much worse than Verizon.
- HOOKSTER1231, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2honestly, more companies should(and most likely will) go the way of t-mobile, because i can attest to how great the hot-spot at home is. they have been my favorite provider in the past few years, i had a work nextel and it was silly how many times calls would drop, the direct connect worked better than the real calls.
- tdowling, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"tmo"...is that what the kids are calling it nowadays? I keep falling behind in the lingo in my old age...
- smurf22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ive had t mobile for a couple years now, I dont exactly love them but ive NEVER had a dropped call, and its pretty cheap.
