Default iphone is such a good phone 2bad Cingular is probably the worst wireless carriers out

T-Mobile 24/7 customer service, monthly plans data plans are reasonable... had the iphone loved it but being with at&t sucked, edge network slow and I can't wait for an unlocked iPhone.

I've been very surprised with how fast edge is working for me. I was looking up some stuff for people at work on google and it was surprisingly fast.

I think in the one month, I have only had two dropped calls, I was getting more than that a month with Sprint.

Glad I have AT&T and my iPhone.

Once again... that really all depends on where you are in the US. If you look at the AT&T coverage map there are huge chunks where AT&T service just isn't available.

i live in Dallas and all the networks seem decent here. where i wish i still had verizon is when i get out in the sticks. but i'm totally happy with at&t so far. not a single dropped call and EDGE is surpisingly fast.

I've said this before and I'll say it again - if AT&T is so terrible, then why can they maintain the subscriber level that they do, year after year. If they were so bad, people would leave after their contract were up or pay the early termination fee to leave. You are entitled to your opinion, but just because you think they are probably the worst doesn't reflect the 61 million + who don't think that way. AT&T is #2 to Verizon in CONSUMER accounts (by 500,000), but when CORPORATE accounts are added in, AT&T comes out #1 by way more then 500,000 accounts.

They suck so bad that they are the #1 mobile service provider in the US...

Have to agree here. It's just so simple -- it's about where you are located and how the AT&T network performs in your area. And, it must perform pretty well in a lot of places.

I have yet to find out in my area but I am going to. Just trying to figure out the best way to try it for the least amount of money at risk!

I had T-Mob years ago and I'd rank it well behind Verizon, Sprint and AT&T. If you were to say Verizon or Sprint, then I'd probably agree although an unlocked iPhone won't help since they are CDMA based.

I think I have had every cell phone carrier, and practically everyone I know want to go to AT&T if only they could afford it (the ones on Sprint, Verizon, and Tmobile)

An iphone on a budget carrier... is that a crime? lol. AT&T is the best. Best nationwide coverage, best plan options, and rock solid EDGE.

I'm actually pretty happy with edge. Everytime I use it while at work, I get solid fast page loads. I never got that on my Sprint Treo 650, so I rarely used the internet on it. With my iPhone, I never hesitate to come to this site with my iPhone and many others. It's excellent!
