AT&T has been great where I live (Charleston, WV). For a long time, it was the only legitimate cell carrier. We have Sprint, but they have gone down to just one store in the entire area, whereas AT&T have about seven or eight, so there's really no comparison. (Plus, as with other posters, my Sprint friends drop calls like CRAZY). We have a Verizon now, but it's only been in the past few months that it's really gotten off the ground. My best friend has had Verizon for a while now, and just last summer, she had call service, but no text/data service. She has it now, but still. I think once Verizon gets a bit more established, it'll start giving AT&T a run for its money, but AT&T has been cornering the market here for such a long time, I think it may take a while, especially with the plans being expensive on Verizon as well. A lot of the people I know won't switch to Verizon simply because the plans aren't so much cheaper that it's worth switching - mainly because of the mobile to mobile calling on AT&T. My husband and I don't use a landline, just our cells, and literally our entire family (except for my dad) is on AT&T, so we don't pay anything for calls to them. So as much as maybe I would sometimes like to switch to Verizon, or threaten to do it if AT&T ticks me off over something, it's just not worth it for the amount of minutes we'd have to pay for. So for us, and probably a lot of people in our area, AT&T is definitely the best choice. And since overall I'm pretty happy with them, it's not a tough choice at all.

AT&T here and I'm a happy camper. The iPhone's and AT&T service has been great for me.

I've been with all four of the major providers (currently with AT&T and Sprint)... the difference is day and night for me.

AT&T is the only carrier I've been with. Got my first cell phone when I was 15 years old and I've been there for every AT&T/Cingular name switch. I've always been happy with them and had good customer service until I moved to Denver in a apartment where my reception is horrid. 1/2 a mile away I get full 3G, but in my complex I'm lucky if I'm getting a couple bars of EDGE.

I really like AT&T. It's the only network that I get full bars in my home. I have never had a problem with their services. I don't get too many dropped calls- maybe once a month. I think that is really hood. Plus, they seem to have more of a selection of phones and higher quality phones. I will be staying with them unless another carrier comes out with something great. I do wish that they would come down on their prices a little. But I'm sure that everyone wishes that no matter the carrier. If they had an Everything plan like Sprint they would be amazing.

I guess they're alright. When I first switched over to At&t I experienced tons of dropped calls within the first few days. After that everything was ok. I would however switch carriers again if the iPhone was made available to another carrier.

I enjoy my 850 MHz spectrum here in Houston and soon to be 7.2 Mbps download speeds. 3G signal is strong, but instead of bars, what's your radio strength? Mine is currently -79.

Define "soon."
