New iPhone Ads Back AT&T in 3G Coverage War

sorry your network still sucks.

Say you're on a call and your friend wants to know, "What time is the move?

You can tell him, "Its at 7:----------------------------"
!$*@#!# phone service!!!!!!!!!!

So Apple Almighty is lying to the public again and on behalf of a company that does have limited 3G coverage as truthfully pointed out by Verizon. They are trying to bury this with the B\S from AT&T and Apple. How pitiful can you get? Oh, sorry. Bad question. This is about AT&T and Apple after all.

In Portland, Oregon AT&T has the best cell phone service of any carrier including Verizon. Even the data speeds are significantly faster than Verizon's and it works every single time. No one has better HSPA data service than AT&T.

Solution:
Boycott Apple.

Apple: "Say you are in this situation, blah blah blah"
No...
Apple: "Say you don't ever plan ahead anymore, don't worry about directions, what time the movie starts, where you are going, don't even bother thinking..."
Maybe you should print out the directions, at least know what time the movie starts! Most of these situations put you in a car aimlessly driving around trying to figure out where to get where you are going on your iPhone. Maybe you should pay attention to the road...

@techguy378 : You're clearly paid by AT&T.

I think I stick up for AT&T so much because I enjoy my iphone, and because since i'm locked into a contact w\ them there is no point hassling to switch service.

I only multi task apps + phone calls every once in a while... which is better than being able to have 3g coverage in alot of places I will never be.

I'd switch to verizon if they gave me a droid and my payments were cheaper.

2 Thumbs up for an honest ad that actually advertises something.

I live in Seattle and do not get service at my house with Verizon. I switched to AT&T and iphone and now get 4 bars. Around town I notice no difference. Internet while calling does seem a little pointless until you have it. When I am on a conference call it is great.

Talk about AT&T being all butt-hurt. They even went crying to Apple to do something.

What they need to do is shutup and fix their service

I love how all they use is the Apple iphone to attempt backing up their bs.

I like AT&Ts new map Ad; showing their coverage zone; and talking like Verizon was lying. AT&T is hoping the consumer is such a retard they cant understand what 3G means; and luckily for them Apple customers are.

Pretty soon when the iPhone is no longer exclusive AT&T is going to bomb. It is going to be like kicking the crutch out from under a crimpled person, they aren't going to know what hit them.

crippled*

That's because AT&T paid them bunch of money.

AT&T: "You can be a huge tool, all without ever leaving your call!"

What's funny is they don't mention that the data + phone service is only available in AT&T's 3G coverage, which the "Map for that" ads already showed is pitifully small.

I didn't even know this was a limitation on my Droid until I saw these advertisements... Shows how many times I have tried to use data while I'm on the phone. Doesn't seem like a very big feature to me. Seems as though Apple/AT&T are grasping at straws and trying to make mountains out of mole hills to cover up their issues.

Apple has to defend AT&T because they are being attacked too. When most people say iPhone they think AT&T and visa-versa. That being said, being able to use internet while on the phone is a nice feature, but one that only applies to idiots and business people. Both of which have been pointed out in above comments. The iPhone is a terrible cooperate phone leaving Blackberry's as the only phone viable for them on AT&T. This leaves the idiots...

iPhone tried to go with verizon but verizon didn't want to surrender their VCast and GetitNow service to the likes of itunes, thus since verizon would loose their "exclusivity" of VCast and charging $2.99 for a ringtone, they wouldn't want apple on their network. I'm actually shocked Verizon allowed Android.

wow really? can't call and surf the net at the same time? isn't that why we ditched dial up?? COME ON! GOD the telocs are USELESS!! every little thing is just sooo hard and promoted as being soo awesome. can not wait for google's data only plan.

LOL, my IPHONE 3G so slow. "My AT&T Service Suk". Dump this piece crap & crap service within next 5 months.

***** Can Your Phone & Network Do that?
Answer is:>
No, My IPHONE 3G SUK & Other network can do that.

I think AT&T get the hate because it has the iPhone, the hate comes from people who hate apple, and people who don't want to leave their provider to get the iPhone.

My family an I have been with At&t mobile for more that 12 years and we have never had a problem, most people i know either have at&t or sprint so I cant say anything for tmobile or verizon, but reception and coverage has always been better than friends and extended family who have sprint, especially in the sticks. My brothers may have iPhones but I could care less, my motorola Q9 global does fine.

ATT needs to stop with these consistent advertising bombardments cause my bill is going to increase to covering these stupid ads!

Careful people, let's not tick off Club Cupertino. Otherwise we'll be bombarded with "I'm an iPhone, and I'm a Droid" commercials.

@Verizon. Come to Canada!!

"...... and your network do that"

That's the ONLY PART sticking up for anyone. Tom's HW sucks with headlines.

I miss when it was cingular. It was great back then...

Those new commercials aren't going to do anything for sales. ATT service stinks so bad that no commercial is going to help. The Iphone sells itself, not commercials. Apple should stop waisting there money on comercials and spend it on bringing better products to the market...........

interesting, the caller timer at the top of the phone moves from 5 to 10 to 30 to 55... 'The sequence has been shorterned'

I thought it was hilarious that when the Iphone commercial came on and said that you could surf the web while on a phone call then asked if your service can do that? My answer was, yes, I have done that with my storm.
