Re: IPhone..Worth It?
I agree withg you on AT&T service. I would never consider their cellular service, but did give them a chance at internet service recently. I did this because I got sick and tired of Cox acting like morons. I dumped them and went to AT&T, using my phone (Sprint) for internet in the meantime.
I haven't had a house phone in about 13 years. I have no need for one, because my cell phone is with me at all times. Because of this, I told AT&T that I would install a new line and RJ connector for the internet. I did that, leaving about 24" of line at the external terminal box, on the side of the house.
On the appointed day, AT&T never showed up. When I called them at 4:00pm to see if they were going to come, they insisted that they had completed the work order. No matter how carefully I explained that their salesperson had been informed that I would run new wire, and that they would have to replace the terminal box, which was corroded inside and full of spiders, they refused to accept that they couldn't have completed the order. Further explanation that the previously referenced wiring was still unconnected to anything, brought no change in their position. They adamantly insisted that their computer record said that the job was done, so that had to be true.
I went to Sprint the next day, asked for an air card and received it in 30 minutes. Twenty of those minutes were spent installing software in my laptop, setting it up and showing me how to use it.
Five minutes after that, I went to the AT&T store, which was about 300 yards away, and told them to cancel the order.
(This post brought to you by the wonders of a Sprint air card, which is currently installed in my desktop computer, but can be used pretty much anywhere I feel like using it!)

and it can get tricky dialing a number or texting at times with it but the basic keyboard is exactly like that on any computer so if you can type on a computer then its easy to learn where the keys are . I would never ever go back to ATT due to their customer service and their coverage area . My first bill was almost 250 pages and the idiots there made me fax them all 250 pages back so they could figure out why my bill was wrong . My thoughts there are " didnt you idiots send me the bill dont you have a copy there somewhere already or do you destroy the evidence once you mail the sucker out " . The decision is yours but I wont recomend ATT to anyone for anything .
