dropped same call 9 times between Charleston and Myrtle Beach.....
Its a dam good thing I like the N95....Thats all I have to say.
Have never had a GSM phone that could make that trip without dropping a ton of times....One ot two i can accept but 9 times is ridiculous when redial immediately connects te call again/
Thoose of you on the fence and really NEED a PHONE first a gdget second should rethink ATT. forget the 30 day trial and use a pre paid for a couple months,
IF phonce calls are secondary and ou have a 550 plan and always have 2000 in the bank on a shared plan and are more into the gadgets.....try another Carrier until ATT fixes the reliability issues where you live work and play..

Sorry about your family issues, but we really don't need to read about them here.

He posted a similar thread in the (surprise) Verizon forum. I think Joe is starting to lose it.

Any phone or network will drop calls while traveling through certain areas. It's called hitting a dead zone- and every single carrier has them.

I know that Sparky i LIVE in one of those dead areas.......I don't have to like it.
That's the reason I won't sign a contract and have not in years, I want the option of a clean get away if another carrier has better reliability and the same feature set.
GSM handoffs blow. Period. Thats no secret.

Then what, may I ask, was the purpose and point of your post? 😕
If you already know all of this, then why complain about it? If you are overall happy with your service, phone, and prov...

Well no carrier is going to get perfect service in every part of the nation. I currently have AT&T and am very happy with it. Went to Florida and didn't lose service at all(except a few areas in Alabama, but that can be expected).

OH Im happy with ATT. Iam happy with being able to use the N95 on the netwrok and the Roll Over lan and everything EXCEPT their phone service. ( drops in an hour on the same call is abit over the line. Especiall when they were just apparently handoffs..because redials worked fine until the next tower handoff...
But Thats always been my ATT experience wherever I lived and used it. Its a good thing they offer the freedom and flexibility of the GSM techno...

I have AT&T, and travel quite abit, I use my phone alot(texting mostly, with some talking). I've been to Raleigh NC, Miami FL, Atlanta GA, and Albuquerque NM, all within the last 3 months, and there was rarely a place where my phone, didn't get service, I believe the only place my phone lost service was in parts of Alabama on the way to FL. I've never had a dropped call or anything. I talked to my mom for 45 minutes on the way to NM without a single problem.

T-Mobile just bought Suncom here. I would try them if they had 3G my Nokia could use. I don;t think they even have High speed data......

they are launching 3G in all major cities here in october. right now its only in new york, and my friend from new york says its pretty faster than AT&T's im patient so i can wait on 3G.

I don't think the N95 will be able to receive that brand of 3G though. I could be wrong as since T Mobile is not here yet I have not researched it.
I am not sure losing the 850 band would be a good thing either. I already drop a lot of calls.

Maybe its your phone. Try an ATT branded Curve, SE w580i, or any Motorola. Might be better. 🤣 Are you tri-band on your N95 or the NA four-band version?
BTW I've driven cross country 3 time while using ATT (Cingular) service and never had one dropped call.

hahah i know for sure your lying!! I drive a truck, im a greyhound driver, and when i was with AT&T cingular, i had dropped calls all the time!! 😁
...
Nope. I never drop calls. I'm not even kidding. I've had every carrier and ATT has been the best. Three times I've driven cross country and not once have I had a dropped call. Maybe it's your bus.
...
im pretty sure its not the bus. i have t-mobile now and i havent had a single dropped call, and i been having t-mobile for about a year now. Even my co-worker who has at&t and he says he drops calls. so.. yeah.
