that mist be am issue with AT&T around you. I have gotten failed calls but not nearly as many as you. I'd say 2 or 3 since I got the 3G. You should try calling AT&T with your problem since I don't think it is an issue of the phone itself.

I agree. Give ATT a call or better yet visit on of the stores and they can usually fix it right on the spot.

i had this problem I think yesterday. It's never happened before and I'm using the V1 iphone with 2.0 software.

Certain phone numbers I'd try calling 20 times and it would keep beeping and saying call failed without even ringing and I'd have several bars of service. But if I hung up and tried a different number it would work fine. I thought at first there was just a problem with that number I had been dialing but later in the day same thing with a different number...refused to work but all other numbers I tried worked fine.

i'm glad i'm not the only one. and i'm not on 2.0 yet by the way. i tried calling two friends that were both from the same town down state and failed seriously 50 times. called a friend in my town, straight through. called the other friends again. failed. so maybe it was because of their town? :S

I've had dropped calls, too. Can it just be that there are so many new iPhone users/at&t customers that their system is overloaded? I had problems with dropped calls all the time when we were on Verizon, but once we made the switch to Cingular all was fine.. no matter which phone I had.

jimmyrules712 · 07-19-2008, 02:30 PM

it isn't dropped calls, the calls aren't even dialing or going through at all. And it's only certain random numbers that seemed to be having issues Number A won't work if you call it 30 times, call number B and it works fine, try calling number A again rigt afterwards and it still doesn't work.

My reception has been terrible since getting the 3g phone, always sits around 2 bars rarely3-4, and drops calls randomly. I came from a v1 phone with 1.1.2 software that I never upgraded because of was so snappy , I didn't want to deal with headaches and well now here I am :/
