AT&T user review

Once thought it was good, But no more

By: Steven Brown on Saturday, January 05, 2008
From Orland IN (United States)
Experience: 21 Months
Pros: Coverage was pretty good and had no real problems until......

Cons: They restrict your whole service to no roaming because 1 phone of a 3 phone family plan roams 60 percent.

Summary: Took a new job a little over a year ago and they have a cell booster for their provider in the building. I make on the average 2 calls a night, but the signal goes out over the competitors tower because of the booster. My wife roams about 30 percent and my son 20 percent. My 1-3 calls put me at roaming over 50 pecent. Because I roam more than I am on their network even though it is because of the booster, the building and AT&T's poor provision of service(I can walk out the south side of the building and be off network, but walk out the north side and be on AT&T)The whole family has been restricted to no roaming in an unlimited roaming service plan!! What a Deal!! The real ugly thng is we only have 3 months and the 2 year contract ends you would think they would have just waited it out and then said no renewal. But business is business you know, and we were good when we were shoving cash into their pockets with the unused minutes being removed each month, but when they start to have to pay the competitor for using their tower for roaming, WATCH OUT!
