iPhone Reception Problems?
Anybody else having trouble with their iPhone all of a sudden. Seems like every call I'm getting lately is garbled. Found this article.

3. I didn't know one was released, but I am just now updating to OS 3.1...
I should check more often.

No problems like yours, however.

4. Just the normal crappy service I get when I'm out of town. 3G? Yeah, right.

5. Honestly I had such terrible reception with the iPhone all the time that I switched back
It sounds like you must have had good service before and just suddenly got garbled reception. But when my Verizon contract was up, I very excitedly went with AT&T because I wanted the iPhone, and it was a nightmare. We're not in a big city and the AT&T reception here is just awful - no 3G anywhere and tons of dropped calls. No phone reception at all where I work either and I need my kids to be able to reach me. Couldn't stand it and finally after 4 months I sucked it up and paid the horrendous cancellation fee and went crawling back to Verizon.

I loved my iPhone but you could not pay me enough to go back to AT&T.

7. I couldn't dial out, access the internet, or get email yesterday. (23rd)
I called AT&T and they had me turn off the phone.

Then asked me to turn it back on while they sent me updates.

It works fine now.
