I am about 18 mos. into our two-yr. contract with AT&T, which I switched to from Verizon (what a fool I used to be) because my wife really wanted an iPhone and my work Blackberry (AT&T) totally saved my ass when I got stranded in the desert two yrs. ago, when my Verizon phones did nothing for me. Since making the switch we moved into a new house, which is less than a mile from an AT&T tower, but which lies in a dead zone. We have zero AT&T signal here. My company switched my Blackberry over to Verizon and I sprung for a Microcell, which gives me perfect AT&T coverage in the house. Just returned from a week on the east coast and had just about no AT&T coverage anywhere. It was just a joke. I can't take it anymore. I plan to call them, raise hell and demand to be let out of what's left of my contract with no early termination fee. But I'm not positive I want to go to Verizon. If I go to T-Mobile, I'll probably end up back with AT&T when their merger happens. Wifey and I can probably sell our iPhones on Craigslist for twice what Verizon will give for them on a trade-in deal for new iPhone 4's. What's the best route here?
