[QUOTE="flybeech, post: 2089979, member: 7557"] I've been an AT&T customer since it was Southwestern Bell Mobile Systems in 1986 and out of contract for about a decade. I buy used iPhones when the current model is replaced. I recently bought a used 5 month old 4s for $300, including some extra accessories and immediately ordered an iTunes unlock from AT&T, since I like to take it to Yucatan Mexico and install a TelCel Amigo SIM card while I'm there. In Mexico, the coverage isn't as good, but in Merida, Yucatan the performance is excellent. I often threaten to move to T-Mobile all the time, because AT&T service is so terrible, but somehow never do. There are parts of my house that the signal is unusable and sometimes I need to stand in a certain spot just to have decent reception. Dropped calls are normal. I'm smack-dab in the middle of NW OKC, so it's not like I'm expecting good service in some remote jungle location. Where I want it to work, the service is sucky, at best. The data seems to work ok and I just now clocked between 5mbps and 8mbps download and .55mbps and 1.75mbps upload in 4g. I can't get the 4g LTE light on in my NW OKC home, but when I do, I can routinely see 8mbps download and 2mbps upload. Being an old man, I never imagined I would accept text messaging, but now I do it all the time. I really like to see contacts with the blue balloon of iMessage. I also use WhatsApp application, which is a web-based text message service that goes across smart phone platforms for more free text messages. With iMessage and What's app, I can send all the texts, pics and documents I want, without eating into my 200 SMS messages per month plan. I also use BeeJiveIM quite a bit. Most all my friends and family are on AT&T, so can yack on the phone all I want and still build roll-over minutes on a 550 family plan. What keeps me stuck with AT&T is the free M2M and habit.
