Hi Marta,? They are not the best, there are certain spots in Louisville where I drop calls all the time, but when I was with Verizon and Nextel (Sprint) it happened also.? If I were you I would ask to borrow a friends phone that is on AT& T and take it to all your usual spots and see how it works.? I would not have switched carriers just to get an iPhone, I just happened to be with them already.? We use their family plan here at work and its saved us about 200-300 a month on cell phone expense.
