AT&T has a new Luke Wilson commercial which I believe is very effective. The commercial details AT&T's coverage (not merely 3G) of 97% of the population of the U.S. Since AT&T claims Verizon's 3G commercials imply no coverage in non 3G areas this may be the way they should have responded to those commercials in the first place.

The closely-watched debut of Motorola's flagship Google (GOOG Quote) Android phone is not yet three weeks along and already the $200 introductory price has been cut 25% and in some places 40%.
The discounts certainly fit the season Black Friday deals. But the speed of the move and the need to sweeten the price suggests that Verizon and Motorola aren't happy with the pace of Droid sales.

Early analyst tallies estimated that Motorola sold between 200,000 and 400,000 Droids in the first few days. Those numbers are uncomfortably similar to the less-than-dazzling start of Palm (PALM Quote) Pre sales this summer.

This is trou...

Verizon was founded as Bell Atlantic Corporation by AT&T Corporation as one of seven Baby Bells that were formed due to an anti-trust judgement against them. 😲
Do your research find the truth.
Just a matter of time before they combine!!!
Bet on it. 😳

Mississippi wireless carrier Cellular South gets in on the act, comparing the HTC Hero to the iphone 3GS.

We are downgrading from a Blackberry to another phone. We are keeping the line, which to my understanding is what the contract is for ( the service for the line not the phone). When we do this we should be able to take off our data plan with no promblem, right?

I just upgraded to the iphone 3gs about 2 months ago. Well, I'm not getting very good service in my new house so I would like to cancel service.

I understand that since I just signed a new 2 year agreement, I will have to pay a $175 early termination. My question is, will any other fee apply? I asked my friend who worked for an indirect agent for AT&T and he said its possible I could have signed a contract for the data package as well which would have a fee to cancel. He was not 100% certain because he wasn't able to sell the iphone since he was indirect.

Any information is greatly appreciated. 🙂

I purchased a Nokia E62 Cingular phone from a local retailer and wanted to unlock it. Customer service says i have to wait another all of 90 days before they will give me the subsidiary unlock code and i am leaving to go to Europe in a month (in May). Can someone help with this? Thanks

Is in-store activation required with the 3GS? I know it was with the 3G, but I am unsure with the 3GS. Thanks.

Question: When should a big, publicly-traded company refrain from filing a lawsuit? Answer: possibly when the public-relations blowback does more damage than the behavior complained about in the lawsuit.

This truism has come up across the pundit-o-sphere in the wake of the recently filed AT&T/Verizon lawsuit.

In short: earlier this month, AT&T sued Verizon Wireless in federal court in Atlanta, alleging that Verizon’s advertisements comparing the companies’ 3G wireless coverage across the country were misleading and causing “irreparable harm.”

Perhaps you’ve seen these ads. I...

I had at&t around 1 year ago and I still have my Nokia 6650 fold. Can I go to a local store with this phone and activate service WITHOUT signing a two year agreement, as in, can I get a month to month contract?

To all those VZW fanboys who argue this lawsuit is just sour grapes on AT&T's part, answer this: why didn't AT&T sue Sprint a year ago when Sprint had the largest 3G coverage and was posting attack ads against AT&T? Simple: the Sprint ads never claimed AT&T customers couldn't use their data or voice services outside 3G areas. Sprint only compared size and services.

When AT&T introduced their PTT service, Sprint never sued them over it, even though AT&T claimed greater PTT coverage, more features and cheaper pricing. Again, the attack ads were factually based, unlike Verizon that claimed Sprint's older PTT service was useless now and didn't work. Sound familiar?

Big Red has a long history of false advertising.

Just picked up the new touchpro 2/tilt 2

HTC has really stepped up their game with this device. 6.5 is better than 6.1 but still windows...my only qualm with windows is there seems to be 6 different ways to accomplish the same task which makes the phone somewhat convoluted when trying to do simple things.

I have to admit, 3g service has been excellent. Never seems to switch to edge, full bars at work, at my friends house last night, and at home(where verizon doesn't even get service..where's the map for that?). 3g experiences definitely vary with whatever device you are using but the network seems to be there. Go at&t!

Just wondering if there are any sales planned for black Friday at AT&T. Thanks for any info.

lets look at it from another perspective, would u rather go to a full sacale amusment park, or a county fair. yes they both have rides, games and food but lets pin up a map and dot every amusment park vs every small town/county fair, who wins???
than lets ask whats the differences, long lines congested lines, long waiting, now where would u rather go? sure its great to go to st fair or local festival but sometimes everybody wants to ride that big roller costar and expert a long line and some waiting but the question is what do you choose? a network that has potentil of much faster speeds in fewer locations with the risk of networ congestion or take it safe and go with a company whos laid back building up a network while the other company lu...

Call me crazy (which I am sure you will, because you are phonescoopers and it is expected of you) but I miss the good old days when we were Cingular and when we had TDMA.

And yes, I am talking about the days when we had green screen phones that could talk, text, and browse the WAP web. In those days we had amazing coverage everywhere, and we had solid reliable phones. I know times change fast, especially in the wireless world, but still, I think cellular phones were at their best back in the good ol days of the early 2000s.

Well I found out from ATT that I could buy a go phone and add it to my existing line instead of extending my contract.

I was wondering if ecyled or someone else could tell me if these were applicable go phones.

LG Xenon
LG Neon
Motorola Karma Qa1

Also if anyone has any info of the pricing range, I'm going to ask santa for a phone.

Lately I've been having an issue while launching CV. I frequently go to the CNN hourly news updates, but I've noticed that since last Friday it doesn't refresh (What I mean by this is that they're still giving the news from last Friday) Could this be a phone issue or a CV issue. Also, last Fri I updated my phone's software to the v4.6.0.304 (BB Bold) Could this be related to that? 🤨

What genius at AT&T is permitting a local AT&T cellular sales agent to look through the customer records and call them about adding a text messaging plan?

I receive enough text messages per month to equate to a $2 charge, and this guy thinks it's a good idea that I spend $5 so I can have up to 200 "free" messages.

Is this common practice? Why are they not using a number that doesn't eat my minutes for *their* sales pitch?

Is ATT slated to have any Nokia touch screens?
