Maybe You Shouldn’t Get AT&T If You Live In New York City

I highly recommend that anyone who lives in New York City do their own research before going with AT&T cell service. Of course if you want the Iphone you may not have a choice. The reason for avoiding AT&T service is because a report recently came out on the Internet that stated that dropping 30% of your calls in New York City with AT&T was standard. The story however was confusing and we couldn’t figure out whether it was 30% of Iphone calls or 30% of all calls that were dropped on average. You can see the Gizmodo story for yourself.

The story has no been confirmed or denied by AT&T or Apple but it was said that an AT&T customer brought his phone into an Apple Store after it kept dropping calls only to be informed that his 22% dropped call rate was way better than the average of 30%. I don’t know about you but dropping 30% of my calls would be pretty darn annoying.

Maybe its best to just avoid AT&T all together in New York City, however I will say that I was in Long Island a few weeks ago and when we went into the city my friend didn’t mention any problems with his Iphone. It is also important to note that AT&T has been making improvements to their network in the area in an attempt to alleviate the problem.
