CNET writer Elinor Mills has been having trouble with using her iPhone in the AT&T network recently, and decided to do something about it. It seems to be happening especially in cities, where AT&T’s systems are overtaxed and can’t handle the call and data volume.
She writes in “AT&T takes the phone out of the [...]
Do you have a problem with your cell phone carrier? Chances are you do. I have a whole list of gripes as long as my arm, but here are a few.
1. I’m with Verizon, and I hate how I can’t swap out a SIM card into a better phone.
2. I’m also stuck with the crappy [...]
Remember the time when AT&T/Cingular was running that ad campaign about having “the fewest drop calls” of any network? Remember how you laughed and called bullshit? Well, those ads aren’t running anymore, and for good reason – it’s simply not true.
Now Verizon is taking some flak from AT&T for its “most reliable 3G network in [...]
AT&T has gotten a pretty bad reputation recently.

This clever Pre ad takes a jab at the iPhone, and takes advantage of its timing — many AT&T iPhone subscriptions are expiring.
AT&T has been long viewed as a sacrifice people make to get an iPhone, whether because of poor service, lack of coverage, or high prices. They also seem desperate to keep the iPhone under an exclusive arrangement, but rumor has it that will change by 2010, with an Apple-Verizon deal.
So it stands to reason [...]
AT&T servers crashed during the release of the new Apple iPhone 3G S, delaying activation of new phones for several days. Apple had to apologize on behalf of AT&T, and issued $30 of iTunes credit to the unlucky bunch.
If you were one of the unlucky ones, keep an eye on your inbox for this [...]
When the RIAA announced in December of 2008 that it was finally dropping its lawsuit plan and working with ISPs to fight piracy, the music industry’s hopes soared. They were no longer alone in the fight, and internet providers would help sniff out and cut off illegal music and movie downloading.
So they thought. The press [...]
I am not one for lists. When I go to the market, I buy things at random. When I invite people to an event, I blindly mass text people in my contacts. When I navigate a ship, I only travel in straight lines.
But, the rest of the internet seems to disagree with [...]
As Blackberry Storm enters an uneasy market place, many wonder exactly how it will stand-up to the currently undisputed king, Apple’s iPhone 3G. Of course, time will tell as bugs surface and more applications are availabe, but let’s start with the basics.
Phone Service:
As much as I hate to admit it, Verizon has been shown time [...]
