We've had AT&T for years-I'm in Dallas and never had a problem with reception- one of my sons' lived in San Marcos & had TMoblie-it was terrible trying to talk to him- very bad reception; we just moved him over to our AT&T plan and reception is much better

I just got the new IPhone last week- very easy to use and I love it (had a blackberry Pearl before); I could rationalize the expense because I work long hours and use it a lot for work. I'm very happy with the IPhone
