I’m sure that no one will be surprised by this, but my opinion of AT&T iPhone service has changed dramatically since I left San Francisco. My iPhone is even more of a workhorse than it was before. And it’s performing like a champ. I’m doing numerous 60-90 minute conference calls on my iPhone on a daily basis. Once I did an hour long conference call while on the Acela from New Haven to New York. During these calls, I’m putting my iPhone through its paces by surfing the Web, accessing info on the Evernote App, or other things sucking up the data stream. And my call’s aren’t dropping.
Yes, this has resulted in heavy voice usage and the amount of minutes I’m using is skyrocketing. This month, I would have been the victim of heavy extra charges on my bill if not for AT&T sending me a text message alerting me that I’m way over and I should change my data plan to compensate. Thanks for taking care of me, AT&T! I was especially pleased to find out that I could retroactively change my plan back to my last billing date. Overage charges be gone!
It will be interesting to see how things change when I’m in metro Boston full time.
