It is a shame that I live less than 1.5 miles away from Apple HQ in Cupertino- Monta Vista area only not to get any service. 80% of the time it is “No Service” or barely any connections I see either an E or Little o. To top these problems I have dropped calls or no calls at all. It sucks around my home. It is OK in other areas but not good as Verizon coverage. AT&T has done nothing in this area other than bringing U-verse to my area. I have complained so many times and nothing changes. I plan to return the phone and cancel service.

I live in London and frequently find myself on E or O. Not like it’s a major population centre or anything, only 10 million of us…

I have had the iPhone for 7 months now, and never had a 3G connection! I always have the E! Somethings wrong here…

Peterborough, UK. Solid 5 bars of signal and permanently on GPRS. Come on O2, time to upgrade.

Thanks for the airplane mode on/off tip to force AT&T to try harder. Very helpful.

What does the telliphone symble next to my battery mean it’s a blue phone looking symble and it showed up only after I got the e service… But when I got the e I had no service I had full bars but no out going call or texts or anything would work until I got 3g back why don’t they just make it say no service instead of makeing me look like a dumb *** out side of my own club I’m promoting for and can’t get ahold of any oft VIPs… Kinda stupid if you ask me. Really made me rethink of staying with the iPhone for my work or as any phone after this. Not impressed at all via iPhone

I’m driving through Fargo, ND right now and it’s jumping from E to O. It sucks.
