i just dumped "big pink" due to their "#1 customer service" and just took possion of 2 cool phones (bb9800 & sam flight) i noticed right away att data is considerably faster on my blackberry verses my old tmo 9780 not a bad phone but the torch RULES by far so...
is at&t good in fort worth texas? i see a compatable to better signal and always 3g
(tmo flipped to EDGE often around my house)
is the 9800 4g ready? if not then it is fine because it runs like a deer on the internet

Marvin,

Welcome! I hope the store where you switched at took good care of you. I have stores here in DFW, so if you need a second opinion or need anything else, PM me. I'll make sure you are taken care of. Thanks.

Will

Historically, AT&T has been great in DFW. They inherited the Southwestern Bell infrastructure and 900MHz spectrum. Lately, things have not been as good. For now, I'm assuming the problems are related to their scramble to get LTE up and running.

I didn't have good luck with AT&T and I'm in the DFW area. Verizon has been much better. I used to have problems when the cowboys and rangers would play. Hopefully you will have better results.

Hopefully you do. I definitely think it was an overcrowding issue asI was not too far from the events. I had the same problem at a Texas Tech football game in Lubbock. The game was at AT&T Stadium of all places and I got the lovely "No Service" banner. (still cracks me up) Hopefully people switching to the "4G" network will help with such issues.

They need to bring in a CoW (Cell on Wheels) or CoLT (Cell on Light Truck) during those events. I'm pretty sure Verizon does for the Texas State Fair and the Oklahoma/Texas football game.

Glad to hear it! Keep in mind different carriers have different service in different places. I've had 5 bars where Verizon has one and vice/versa. Hopefully we will make a your stay with AT&T lifelong by providing excellent service.

just an update. i just had my first interaction with phone customer service ZERO hold time a very nice and helpfull rep on the phone who promptly answered my questions maybe middle eastern but very easy to understand she even waived the $5.00 fee for paying the bill with a live rep nice touch! so far still love at&t one quesstion i forgot to ask.. do rollover mins start adding up on the next bill cycle for new custs or ?? and do you use all of your plan mins then get into rollover mins left?
thanks

Whatever minute in your plan that you do not use the first month goes into your rollover and you start building rollover from there. any questions give us a call at 611. 611 does not use your minutes to talk to us here at at&t.

still very happy with at&t a little more $$$$ than pink but you get what you pay for rock solid voice and faster data than my Clear on my laptop which runs on yellow "4g" if i am correct

the minutes remaining after the first full month not the partial first month) will go into rollover bank for you. the reason the partial first month don't rollover is because they are prorated (so you don't pay the fill price, either).

Take a look at the logos, plus he mentions a GSM carrier in the comments. That would be T-Mobile.

Sprint uses WiMax which is Clear's technology.

T-Mobile uses HSPA+, just like ATT

ATT SUCKS...unless you are in an open field 50 feet from one of their towers.

If thats the case....well, they still suck!

Why don't you move on to a different forum.

I don't know what you think your statements are supposed to "prove."

AT&T has the largest geographic coverage of any carrier. That's not to say that they have better coverage inside of every building in America but your comments are pretty short-sighted.
