Why is no one talking about this?
Oh wait, maybe they are, but I can’t hear them.
In recent months, my cellular service with AT&T has been draining straight down the tubes. Three out of five calls get dropped at least once —and no, I’m not exaggerating.
It’s not just the phone hanging up, either. I’ll be talking to someone and suddenly I get a busy signal. Excuse me, I was already connected!
It’s not my phone’s fault, either. My parents (using different phones than mine) have experienced even more problems: network access unavailable even when all bars are showing, inability to send text messages, and “Your call could not be completed as dialed. Please try again” messages.
It’s getting ridiculous!
I did a quick Google search to see if anyone is talking about this, and the only recent reference I found was an article where a guy went back to T-Mobile after experiencing too many dropped calls with AT&T.
I haven’t switched yet because my parents have AT&T, and so our calls are free. I also like the roll-over minutes because I’ve built up a buffer for those months when I run over the daytime minutes.
But it’s gotten so irritating that it may be time to start shopping and see who can get me a good deal on minutes. Then I can get out of this black hole.
