In three years or so of owning iPhones, I have yet to ever need to make a call from anywhere I have been where I have not had reception.
As I mentioned in other threads, just to name a few places:
Anywhere in Central to South Florida (in fact, in Key Largo this past weekend, before mine went diving, my wife's Verizon had zero reception from the hotel and mine was fine.
Pensacola
Atlanta
Mobile
Charlotte
Savannah
Nashville
NYC/Long Island
NJ (northern part, near NY to Bridgewater)
Hampton, NH
Maine
Chicago
Indianapolis
Phoenix
Dallas/Ft. Worth
LA area (LA/Anaheim/Diamond Bar)
Sacramento
Portland
Seattle
Salt Lake City
Las Vegas
Denver
San Francisco
San Jose
Austin
Houston
....and quite a few more I frankly don't remember.
So, while I certainly don't doubt there may be areas of bad reception, I can attest that I have never had a problem and I have traveled very frequently to many of these places.
In fact, my business cell has always been with AT&T and I have used that lots before I ever got an iPhone, with no problems.
I must be the luckiest guy on Earth or the reception issue is more BS than reality.
Oh wait, I now remember.
One time, at band camp, I was in an elevator, 15 floors under ground, surrounded by lead, and I recall not having reception.
BTW,
Although I mentioned it, let me restate it. My household has two AT&T cell accounts and one Verizon.
I kept my wife on Verizon due to my daughter so they can talk and save my daughter some money.
When the wife and I travel, we have both carriers available to us.
If anything I have ever noticed is hers experiences more reception issues than mine does.
Go figure.
