I could have 20,000 minutes and unlimited texts but if my ‘crApple’ phone dosen’t have a signal (I got the ‘rubber band’ around the case, which ruins the design) plans even with the most minutes, web access and texting are USELESS.

You still need a plan with Internet access for the iPhone. That’s a separate charge from a text plan. Nice try AT&T, but it’s a whole lot of smoke and mirrors.

AT&T, are you paying attention? Quit focusing on network upgrades and hire better looking retail employees instead.

The Verizon guy I saw at the Mall store the other day had me losing my concentration. I will pay a little extra for him to service my phone. tyvm. OK now I’m done.

Now that things are even in terms of hardware (and network by next year) AT&T will be forced to compete on quality which is not something they have done so far.
