iPhone 3GS Poor Signal, Bad Reception
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
I just got my new 3GS from O2 in UK. I get one or two pips. My wife is on same network and uses Nokia. She gets 5 pips reception. Very upset
I have this problem on 02 network in the uk to they tell me it’s to do with network coverage yet in the same location I can gain reception wiv the same sim card in a nokia n97 but yet they insist it’s coverage and as i ave ad the phone longer than 14 day there’s nothin I can do about and am stuck wiv a 45 pound contract 4 the next 2 year is this fare and how many more will b con into it
I have been having the same problem. I have consulted both Apple and o2 and was told different things. Apple blames the network and o2 blames the phone.I really regret getting this phone, whats the point of having it if it doesnt work. I have two kids, I worry that if something happens, people will not be able to reach me, so tomorrow I’m purchasing a free handset!!!!
Hi I wish I had read all of this before getting my iphone. I have had problems with signal from day one on vodafone but my husband who has an old nokia phone on the same network always has excellent signal when the phones are side by side. I am on my second iphone 3gs and this one is no better. It is definately a fault with the phone not the network!
I have the same issue! i live in vermont and my husbands iphone gets excellent service..mine rots!
I never seem to have service!! AT&T rots!!!
