      Verizon Wireless Relegates iPhone To Island Of Misfit Toys

      As a whimsical follow-up to AT&T's lawsuit concerning their "There's a map for that" ads, Verizon Wireless released their Christmas-themed set of AT&T/iPhone bashing ads today. They're harsh, but also pretty funny. More »

      AT&T Sues Verizon Over "There's A Map For That" Ads

      AT&T has had it with Verizon's "there's a map for that ads" and have filed a lawsuit. The big blue death star says that the ad is misleading because while the blank spaces in Verizon's map actually show places where there is no Verizon service at all — the blank spaces in the AT&T map may still have voice and data coverage — just not "3G" coverage.

      Chart Compares Total Cost Of Ownership For Popular Smartphones

      You may think that buying an iPhone with AT&T service is an expensive commitment, and you'd be right. But as this chart from BillShrink shows, your total cost of ownership (TCO) for any of the latest smartphones is going to exceed 2 grand over a 24-month period. In fact, the highly-praised new Motorola Droid on Verizon works out to exactly the same TCO as the latest iPhone. More »

      Is AT&T Behind Grassroots Groups That Are Opposed To Net Neutrality?

      In the net neutrality debate, there are a surprising number of grassroots organizations (well, surprising to me at any rate) that have filed statements against the FCC's recent draft of rules. Matthew Lasar at Ars Technica just published an interesting article where he looks at some of these groups and tries to figure out whether AT&T is secretly influencing them, or whether they really do think net neutrality will hurt those they represent—frequently minority groups—in the long run.

      AT&T Asks Employees To Oppose Net Neutrality

      A reader sent us a letter that AT&T sent to its employees asking them to tell the FCC they oppose net neutrality. This comes after the FCC announced plans to investigate and enact net neutrality rules that will ensure that internet service providers (like AT&T) treat all content equally. The letter and a rebuttal are inside. More »

      How Is AT&T's New $60 Prepaid Unlimited Plan A Good Idea?

      AT&T put a press release out today about a new plan they're introducing on Monday, billed as a $60/month unlimited voice and text prepaid plan. While this plan is more competitive with smaller, prepaid-only carriers such as Boost Mobile, it's also significantly cheaper than similar regular plan options. So what are they thinking? More »

      Skype On iPhone Gets Thumbs Up From AT&T

      If you've been waiting for a chance to use Skype on your iPhone over AT&T's network to save on international calls or supplement your calling plan's minutes, your day has come. After a little nudge from the FCC, the company has reversed its ban on VOIP apps on its data network, and will now let you Skype away until you run out of people to call or things to say. More »

      AT&T Refuses To Give $3 Credit For Lack Of Service

      AT&T loves your money and will not give up that money no matter what, even if it means making you waste nearly an hour of an AT&T employee's time, which surely must be worth more than three dollars. We guess it's the principal; as long as AT&T refuses to admit they've got problems, the problems don't exist. More »

      Call Drop Rate For iPhones In NYC Is 30%, Says Apple Genius

      Hey AT&T, maybe you should offer some sort of congestion pricing on your iPhone plans in places like New York City. We've heard/read all sorts of anecdotal reports on dropped calls before, but today Engadget reported that an Apple Genius said a 30% drop call rate is average for the area. If that's true, it seems like false advertising to charge for a full-time calling plan that you can only use about two-thirds of the time. More »

      AT&T Robocalls Me Again For No Apparent Reason

      Wow - just got another robocall from AT&T telling me that it was an important message and that I should call them. Either something is wrong with my account that yesterday's CSR couldn't figure out, or something is wrong with AT&T. Either way, annoying.

      UPDATE: It seems there may have been lag in billing systems. Though it said zero balance when I checked online a few days ago, it has now updated to show this month and duhn duhn last month's unpaid bill. I didn't pay the bill last month because it also said then that I had a zero balance. There must be a definite lag problem that's not just me because otherwise the CSR yesterday would have told me that I had to pay up, instead of suggesting I take advantage of a free upgrade for my iPhone 3GS... Brad the friendly AT&T PR rep says he'll look into it. I declined his help and suggested that he solve the underlying issue for all consumers but not to give my account any special treatment.
