iPhone 3GS Poor Signal, Bad Reception

Posted: July 2nd, 2009 | Author: jared | Filed under: Business, Personal, Technology | 3 Comments »

I just purchased a 16 GB White iPhone 3GS and am having terrible signal issues. At first, I thought it was only my local tower, maybe even only my phone. After consulting a couple people around the office who recently purchased the iPhone 3GS, I realized that they are all having the same problem.

If anyone else is experiencing this, please comment and let me know if Apple/AT&T can do anything about this. This is becoming extremely frustrating. I am right next to a window and I’ve receive three voicemails from people trying to reach me this morning! This seems to be an intermittent problem.

    Yep, exact same problem. My phone works “ok” my wife’s phone can be right next to mine and get no service. AT&T is a piece of garbage. They told me we get “moderate coverage” but that means we have to be in a field, and can not be in a car or building…

    They actually told me we needed to be in a field…

    Can’t wait for Verizon to get the iPhone, then goodbye crap AT&T
