What is up with AT&T!?

So I got the new Tour.. and I love it. Anyone thinking about getting one should do it, I like it a lot more than my Instinct.

However, I learned yesterday that AT&T has a file size limit. All I did was try to send 2 pics at once to an AT&T subscriber and got the following message:

SprintFreeMsg: The picture/video you sent to xxxxxxx may not be received. The receiving service provider has a file size limit. 🤣

And they think iphone will be the next business smartphone. First they should get a worthy network!

Compare Sprint's native network to AT&T's native network and then come talk to us...

"More bars in more places" but in smaller letters you see it say, "based on worldwide coverage" 🙄

Um, I said "NATIVE NETWORK" not who has the most international roaming agreements, buddy.

Sprint's native network is smaller than AT&T's native network. Compare coverage maps and you'll see.

But if you can't do the things you want with alleged better coverage what the hell is the point? Poor iphone gets cripled just because they went with a provider that would give them the most control. Besides, With roaming sprint kills cingular. God bless verizon and us cell for loaning us some coverage when we need it.

but fast busy signals, blocked, dropped and failed calls don't do much to help your claim. even with less native coverage, spring covers more pops with roaming agreements than at&t. also, sprint's network has been getting better reviews than at&t's....notice that at&t went after verizon for saying 'most dependable' but didn't say anything about sprint... it's true in most areas.

I had 2 pics sent at once from a Sprint phone to a AT&T phone with not one problem. No odd messages or anything.

something must be wrong with your phone, or your just making it up! do u realize sprint is roaming off of at&t and verizon towers cause sprint keeps selling them to a company called "Clearwater" first get sprint to cough up enough money to build towers, ohh but i forgot you guys dont have the money. so do what you u guys did in the beginning of the year right a letter to the president of the united states and see if he will send you guys money again. haaaaaaa 🤣

Becuase AT&T has a 600 KB file size limit, and you have a 3.2 MP camera on your new Tour. So its a pretty big file your sending. VZ has a 1.2 MB file size, and I believe T-Mo is a small 300 KB. Sprint is the only carrier out of them that DOESNT have a size limit 😉

Exactly. There is nothing wrong with my phone. This is just a a weakness on AT&T's network.

I could care less about Native Network size. I'm a big boy in the real world and Sprint has excellent coverage everywhere I travel for business.

Kudos to Sprint for having fast reliable and cheap plans without file size limits so I can get things DONE!

EXACTLY! No caps, no limits, no bogus coverage maps.....and who cares if the phone works in Idaho? Sprint works EVERYWHERE I need it to.

I care as i live in Idaho...but if you were wondering Sprint is probably the best here also. I can make calls with 1 bar of service and never drop calls. I have had sprint for 5 years and dropped only a handful of calls with them. Wouldnt change for anything. 😁

Actually I am seriously considering Sprint in the future. Out of the big four, they have my region covered the best. They even beat out Big Red in my area...

Just a word of warning if you do.. I would steer clear of any CDMA Nokia phones. They don't have the same build quality as their CDMA variants.

When I first switched to CDMA I picked up a Nokia becuase that was all I used on tmobile. Biggest mistake ever. >.>

Then again, I heard Nokia is actually going to start building CDMA phones again instead of outsourcing it, so who knows.
