Dropped calls: AT&T at SxSW
Even though AT&T claimed that they were working on a fix for the service outages at SxSW this weekend, users are still complaining
“It’s still pretty sketchy, but yesterday was absolute crap,” says Rich White from UserVoice. “Yesterday, all you could do was SMS. One out of 10 calls would go through. And Edge would works better than 3G.”
The phones would actually show full coverage, but there was a constant lag and the calls just wouldn’t go through.
In a short survey of people at the Facebook party tonight, nobody had anything good to say about AT&T’s iPhone coverage.
“It feels like I am using an analog cell phone tonight,” says Ben Huh from icanhascheezburger.com.
Hopefully it will be fixed soon, but customers are outraged.
