ATT's in building 3G coverage
Man, what's up with ATT's in building 3G coverage?
I normally work in a big aluminum building and 3G coverage is fine. But I've spent the last week in an all concrete building and my 3G indicator is all over the place.
It even dropped down to GPRS once today when I got one of those mystery voicemails. You know, your phone never rang but all of a sudden it's telling you that you've got a voicemail. Witch means whoever called you went straight to voicemail because the network thought you were out of coverage.
I guess if lower frequencies penetrate buildings better WiDEN would be top dog.

I think most of ATTs 3g was rolled out on the 2100 frequency which sucks at building penetration. They are working on converting a lot of it to 850 but it's a work in progress.

AT&T is about 40% 850MHz and 60% 1900MHz. 2100 is used internationally
