The criticism about ATT is that ATT should spend money on its coverage to rival Verizon.

I have no clue about Verizon. The only services I have ever considered are ATT & TMobile because we were focused on the quality & continuity of service while traveling abroad. (Family plan, d. did a LOT of traveling) – so we needed GSM service, global equipped phones. At the time we were selecting the service, ATT (formerly Cingular) and TMobile were the only ones offering GSM.

I don’t know how things are for the future. As I haven’t run into any problems, I’ve got no motivation to change – but then again, I realize that service could be very different in different communities.

To worknprogress – what kind of phone does your d have? When my d. had her blackberry, I had a tough time hearing her, but that problem didn’t exist with her previous phone – nor with her newer phone. I have the same problem with other friends using blackberry’s with other providers, so I always thought it was a blackberry problem, not a service issue.

I’m not sure that ATT cares all that much about the iPhone, since they clearly are pushing the Windows 7 phones now (2 for 1 offer on pricing). In terms of volume, ATT probably does better with phones that are priced more modestly – there’s more incentive for people to upgrade phones and renew their contracts if the upgrade cost can be held to under $150.
