AT&T Keeps Dropping My Calls

by PS on November 15, 2009

I just don’t get it AT&T, I’m paying $160 a month for two iPhones and you keep dropping my calls. I’m 45 minutes away from the person I’m trying to talk to in PA from Maryland, and the call can’t be held for 10 minutes? What is wrong with your network?

I gave you the benefit of the doubt, I loved it in the beginning, but it seems to be getting worse over time, not better. I hardly use my phone, I could probably live without it and exist online only, but its always good to have some emergency contact method.

But I can’t take it AT&T, you need to wake the hell up and get these network coverage issues solved. If you think these complaints you hear about are from just a few fringe consumers; well, you are wrong. You can’t get more mainstream consumer than I am.

Today, I had to make 8 calls to one person to give them directions because the call kept getting dropped. Again, 45 minutes away, just north of PA/MD border. Is PA that much of a fringe state that you can’t cover it?

I might have to go back to Verizon, and hope I never go overseas because Verizon has a crap network of hodge podge technology support. The phones aren’t world phones through and through, so you have to get a special “world phone” but it doesn’t have the capabilities that other non-worldphones have.

Yah, it is all pretty frustrating. Imagine, a single device, that has full coverage, capabilities to go overseas, and has the features that I want. I can’t get over it. Price point be damned. If Apple and the iPhone can extort, well, maybe not extort; how about “demand” the hefty sum it does for a sub-par camera and crappy battery life, and spotty access on the AT&T network, a competitor should be able to provide the world phone capabilities.

Just nuts.
