ATT Drops 'Fewest Dropped Calls' Campaign... LOL

Too funny... turns out ATT's 'Fewest Dropped Calls' claim was a fraud after all (though I think most ppl knew that), and they're dropping it: ๐Ÿคฃ


Following a Better Business Bureau investigation into Cingular's (now AT&T's) "fewest dropped calls" ad campaign and a protracted legal fight with Sprint over the issue, AT&T is reportedly dropping its claim, according to an employee.

Turns out, the assertion was never really true, and was based on only a small part of a larger Telephia report.

As a whole, the [Telephia] report notes that AT&T Wireless did NOT have the most reliable network in places like New York, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles, according to Broadband Reports.

Despite the b.s. that I went through with Verizon, leaving them for at&t wasn't a bright choice.

Yeah, prolly not. And Platypus said ATT really sucked when he tried them out too, and bailed.

You still under the 30 days, or are you stuck with them?

It's under Pay as you go. I REFUSE to pay the deposit that they want me to, because they're not worth it. I also have T-Mobile [Long story beind that one] and they're much better; however, in hindsight, I should have held out for the Q9m.

Tmobile, sprint, and cingular stink down where I live. There is one apartment complex in this entire area where I don't get good service.

In the mean time net adds (quarter results) show otherwise... ๐Ÿ™„

Or not. ATT's churn is still way higher than VZW's, and if Amp'd hadn't gone bankrupt, you woulda lost in net adds as well.

In fact, you kinda did anyway... VZW had 1.6 million postpaid net ads, ATT had 900k. Guess prepay is proppin' y'all up.

You're also behind in revenue. So what results are those again? ๐Ÿ˜›

They're not gonna do that, but they should. There'd be a nationwide 'ROFLMAO' in response. ๐Ÿคฃ

I DO!

That was the reason I went to ATT in the first place and I live in Atlanta, GA. That is where the headquarters is so I have been told. What I came to find out is yes there calls are very clear and I do love the rollover feature, but they had the most dropped calls from any other provider I have had. I have had all the national providers and a few regional and Tmobile's network did not drop as many calls as Att did. So I was shocked. I called and canceled my contract and went back to verizon.
That was the biggest mistake I have ever made financially putting my money into a big lie. I believe that they spend more money on those gay ass commericals then they do maintain network quality. Also the only reason I BELIEVE that people sign...
