I can see AT&T's tower from my house but could not talk on the phone without dropping the call.  Sent out a different phone, same thing.  All dropped calls came off of the tower I can see from my house.  It worked fine almost everywhere else.  I would drop calls driving by the dang tower!! 

They said it was not there problem and they could not do anything about it.

Ok, they lost 4 phones and any chance to get our other dozen or so numbers we have.  Bunch of idiots at Alltel/AT&T.
