I’m having big problems with EDGE in Portland, OR. Last week it was totally down for a few days, it’s pretty spotty now. I don’t restart it very often, but I do turn Airplane Mode on and back off. Sometimes my iPhone reconnects, sometimes it doesn’t.

Had some spotty cell service last week, but its working fine now. But, no ‘internet’ ability whatsoever. This is in the Portland, OR. metro area.

I get good cell service. i can make and recv calls. but my edge is completely down. Im in lone tree colorado. its been down since yesterday and ATT keeps telling me its my hard ware. but when i get to my appartment or a different zip code edge works fine. They want me to get a new phone through apple but screw that! i just bought this phone in april and all apple will do is give me a remanufactured one. Seems silly for them to give me a phone they fixed even though i paid full price for a brand new one. if apple wanted to retain a customer they would eat the cost of giving me a brand new one. screw apple.

@ david m
I am experiencing the same issue, although in europe, sweden. After like half an hour of calling the call will just drop sometimes.

This is especially annoying when in line at a hotline:
“your number one in the cue, your number…duuud, duuud.”
Such call dropping might be standard in the USA but in europe this is unheard of, and I suspect it has something to do with the anysim crack…

Has anyone experienced calls loosing reception over time? I will be talking to someone (sitting at my house) and over a period of time (varies) the call will loose signal until it finally drops! Which could be a part of this issue in the article.

NYC has been a little spotty the past few days especially on Saturday.

Good eyes Bill – it is an Agent 18 Eco Shield. It is a bit pricey, but well worth it. It has protected mine wonderfully from several drops. I highly recommend it.

I’d also recommend the anti-glare film – great for keeping the everyday dust and grime off the surface.

Good catch Peter – the post has been updated.

i live in the Midwest and i’m glad i haven’t purchased this object du jour yet. i do get good reception with my cheap at+t phone so until i can trust the new tech i’ll wait on paying a premium for it.

I blame AT&T. Their service is pants and has been for a while. (My average call length, for instance? 37 seconds before the phone either hangs up or reboots itself outright.) I’m not buying an iPhone until I can have one on a better network, thanks.
