Survey Shows AT&T iPhone Drop Call Rate More Than Twice Verizon iPhone
Based on the latest survey by market research firm - ChangeWave Research, Verizon iPhone 4 users are observing fewer dropped calls than AT&T’s iPhone 4 users.
The survey that was carried out several weeks after Verizon iPhone 4 was launched in February provides some interesting statistics. The sample size of the survey was about 4,068 consumers.

Funny, I have NEVER had 1 dropped call on my 3GS that I received 2 years ago, and yes, I do travel.
-
My drop rate on Verizon since 2/10 is zero. My drop rate on AT&T for about three years was 1/3 to 1/4 of all calls. Quite a difference.
-
wow. I've had dropped calls... but the weather has to be crappy. :)
-
Yeah what a scam. I've had AT&T for quite a while and I've never noticed a single legitamit dropped call. Funny, my wife has verizon and she has dropped calls every week!
-
I don't get many dropped calls using Att, and use about 2000 min per month. That said, the survey at the top (iphone 4 users) doesen't take into account that Verizon didn't start selling the iphone 4 until Feb, so att had more than a month of results to Verizons approx 90-100 days, or at least thats how I see it.

i drop about 1 out of 4 calls on at&t but it doesnt really bother me as i dont talk on the phone too much. just give me a constant 3-4mbps down and im a happy camper! so far data wise at&t has treated me extremely well!
-
You're full of ****. At&t is the worst for dropped calls. I have them, and when I drive on the highway at this certain intersection, I am GUARANTEED to drop the call...both ways. Quit swinging on the corporate giant's nuts.
-
The survey wasn't about the iPhone, just cell service in general.
-
Where the hell do they conduct these tests? I live in Chicago and I may drop 1% of my AT&T calls. On the other hand, my family members seem to drop calls often with Verizon. They also miss calls where the phone just won't ring. 30 minutes later they receive a freak voicemail.

I have two iPhones on AT&T and I was just let off of contract due to not getting calls or being able to call out all of the sudden for the last 3 months. No one can figure it out. They've opened 3 cases so far on their network and always say they've fixed it yet nothing changes. Apple swapped out the phones, we got new sim cards. Neither AT&T or Apple care. I've always had great service until recently. I never had dropped calls, now I get them 5% of the time.

Blow me!

Got the iphone 4 (AT&T) last year August. Since then I did not have any dropped calls whatsoever. 0 dropped calls so far. Not to mention, I had iphone 3G S and iphone 3G and had ZERO dropped calls, and previous to the iphone, I had Moto Razr phone and never had any dropped calls either. So I must live in a really goog place.

Oops, didn't see the reference to the top graph.

AT&T previous Ad 'raising the bars' was totally lie. But it attractive a lot of believer, they even accused the other competitors. remember? I was really disappointed when moved from T-mobile. But just because for the iPhone and I use data more then voice. I would say 1/3 of the calls get dropped. I seems getting a litter better lately.
-
Not a surprise to me..
-
i think the only valid piece of data was contained within a footnote."Despite the higher percentage of dropped calls, the overall satisfaction of AT&T’s iPhone 4 customers and Verizon’s iPhone 4 customers is almost identical (80% vs 82%)."that is more relevant than all the info displayed there... too many variables and way to many unknowns.

What a bunch of fanboy carriers... Can't anyone see t-mobile FTW lol

Figures often beguile me, particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force:“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Mark Twain

I have experienced a couple of dropped calls since the launch of the original iPhone, but not that many.However, the data is a bit skewed I think. How about taking those dropped calls and dividing it by the TOTAL number of iPhone subscribers for each network and then posting the percentage instead of taking a poll of customers that have iPhones on the different networks.
-
i think..Verizon is the future now..after T-Mobile Deal
-
So statistically speaking, there is a higher percentage of dropped calls for the 10 million AT&T iPhones as compared to the 500k Verizon iPhones? okthxby
-
Can they tell us something that we dont already know about. A waste of time.
-
Does that make Verizon better? Because both drop calls.
-
The survey also found is that the iPhone drops more calls.

First, in the end the iPhone is great for everything other than being a phone/communication device - it's just something we have to accept in general. Second, I have to say that within the last 2 months my AT&T reception has gotten better and my drop-call rate has dramatically decreased. I am even getting reception in the elevator of my building, where I wasn't before. Not saying it's perfect, but I am definitely noticing a big difference. Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
