AT&T/iphone users

I have the original iphone, and my phone calls are constantly dropped. CONSTANTLY!! A few people have told me that the original iphone is notorious for having a bad connection and if I get the new iphone it will be better. My contract is up, and I'm hesitant to be tied into them for another 2 years but I cannot switch since it's cheaper to have them for now (mobile to mobile with my dad!)

So is this a myth? Does anyone know how much the new iphone costs with a contract renewal?

I believe the 3G is the free with contract renewal phone, but I have the 4G and the only time my calls are dropped is when I drive past the Adobe building on 87. Which was true for my pre-iphone phone (old school clamshell) and husband's calls always get dropped there, too. 

I think the 4G is $99 with a contract renewal? I'm not sure.

I'm not sure how much it is, but I can't imagine not having my iPhone.

Hubby has sprint, and while the coverage is slightly better, it's not noticable enough to make me want to switch providers.

I feel the same way! But I won't be working soon, what does a stay at home mom need with an iphone? I feel like selfish because the bill is $100+ each month, which dh has to pay.

Perhaps price what's cheaper with AT&T vs Verizon now that VZ has the iPhone 4. I used to be an AT&T customer, but my calls were always dropping also. I've been a customer of VZ for 4 years and I've never had a dropped call that I can remember. It's worth looking into.

Sprint has free calling to ANY mobile...regardless of network.  I've been happier with connection with Sprint.  ATT used to drop calls ALL THE TIME!  (I don't have a iPhone though)

I used my phone MUCH more when I was on leave then when I'm working.  Being on leave meant I needed to be more mobile.  At work, I'm near my desk and can use my work phone.  When I'm home, we're walking around the block, going to the park, going to the mall, etc.

We don't have iPhones but we are forced to have AT & T for our phone/internet and they are HORRIBLE!!! We have never had so much trouble with internet access or problems with our phone contract. It took 3 months and many phone calls to straighten out the mistakes that they made on our bill. We will NEVER have AT & T again.
