So I was extremely excited to get this phone, but my experience thus far has been absolutely horrible.
First of all, I only get about half of the texts that are sent to me by people without AT&T. Ive called AT&T multiple times, but nothing has helped me. I text a lot, and this is and has been a huge problem for me.
My service is also absolutely horrible. It constantly goes from full service to minimum service... the service basically jumps all over the place, which causes horrible call quality, dropped calls, and inability to make/recieve calls (sometimes when people call me it says my number does not exist... pretty damn weird). I live in Los Angeles, and there's no way the service should be this bad (I had Verizon before, and theres really no comparison). When not on 3g, it sounds like something inside of the earpiece constantly buzzes during calls. Its loud, and makes talking with my ear to the phone unbelievably uncomfortable.
Furthermore, there is lots of lag using normal phone functions (texting, contacts, etc), dust has gotten under the top layer of glass and over the actual screen, and the button on the front of the phone no longer clicks when I push it (and subsequently sometimes doesnt work).
Ive taken the phone into the apple store, and of course it worked fine so they wouldnt give me a new one. This phone is under a month old though, and I dont feel I can justify staying with this phone/service. The phone is basically unusable as a phone (at best, a HIGHLY unreliable phone).
Has anybody had any similar problems? I cant imagine everybodys phone is like mine, or else I feel that people would hate the iphone. Anybody have any tips/advice? Thanks
