iPhone reception problems and AT&T
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

The iPhone is the greatest cellphone there is, no doubt about it. I have had so many cellphones, and this is by far the most advanced, user-friendly phone I’ve owned. There is a big problem I have with it though, reception. AT&T is probably the worst company I have been with as far as reception goes, and to top it off, their customer service is just plain horrible. Raising the bar?

There was a point where I wanted to just cancel my iPhone service, and go back to Verizon, which has excellent reception anywhere I’ve been. I remember getting stuck in the desert about 30 miles west of Yuma, CA. I had reception with Verizon then! Anyway, last time I spoke to a manager at AT&T, and he told me he was going to do the best he could to get some techs to check the towers near my area, haven’t heard from him since, and my reception hasn’t gotten any better.
