Visiting in AZ (Phoenix and elsewhere), for the last two weeks service has been great, but all of a sudden tonight/this morning I’ve been getting dropped out of the 3G network like a hot potato.

Never mind. The problem in Los Angeles is a site problem, not related to any other. Sorry about that.

Service is still groovy in AZ. Ive only experienced 1 outage in the 2 years I’ve rocked with AT&T.

Stop crying bitches, to save 2$ on a iPhone and then get burnt with no service on your first day serves you right.

An iPhone from Wal-Mart, thats an effn sin for christ sake. I dont think RIM has even went that low.

Fail. I’m not a big iPhone fan, but it would do better on a different network… I’m not saying the AT&T should have it…. just saying the if it was at least available to Verizon that Apple would be making a lot more money.

And people have the nerve to condemn Verizon in any way…at least you don’t experience these ridiculous outages and loss of service. And let’s not even talk about the iPhone and Storm…when you can actually make a call with the Storm and can’t even get a connection with this thing most of the time.

12.29.2008 0955 My iPhone is not receiving phone calls everyone goes straight to voicemail. I’m in South Central Wisconsin. AT&T stated it’s a multi-state and multi-network problem with no update on expected time frame. They also stated it’s affecting text messaging.

All fixed now, you crybabies! If still having problems, powercicle your phone (romove a battery and restart your phone, with iPhone, do a soft reset).

I’ve been having serious issues in the DC area all day. Crappy signals and SOS service. What really ticks me off is I have a repeater in my house! Since I’m surrounded by lovely leafy trees, during the spring & summer, I’m usually plagued with crappy service so this year I sprung for a repeater. I installed it, 5 bars! Today, SOS service and there are no leaves blocking the signal! Damn U AT&T!

This has nothing to do with Walmart or the iphone. This has to do with a outage in the said states. Verizon has outages, T-mobile has outages, no big deal. Your going to have a outage no matter what phone you own, even a storm, or any blackberry for that matter.

End of story.

Is it a dead spot for Verizon too? *chuckles*

The outage had to do with a power failure in Michigan. Read:

After moving from “Emergency Only” to finally getting outgoing call service at around 9:00pm, we finally have full service, that is we can now receive calls on our AT&T phones (we have four, of various models). Hopefully, it’s now fixed for good.

From about 9 AM until 1 PM Eastern today both of my BlackBerry lines on AT&T were intermittent at best. Since then my Curve 8310 and my Bold have been fine.

So I called AT&T and had an interesting conversation about this…the outage spans about 6 states. I wrote a bit about it on my blog. I show 3G coverage here in Saint Paul, Minnesota but none of the internet functions actually work.

By: Jayman

Jayman — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 02:48:45 +0000

Yep – sporadically off and on all day in the Milwaukee area.

If you call the after hours line, and ask for a credit, they’ll give ya $25 off your bill.

Your network may not have issues, but the Storm still sucked balls last time I checked
