Comments on: No more AT&T service for me, E71x going up for sale http://nokiaexperts.com/att-service/ Everything Nokia, S60, and More Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:42:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: kirk http://nokiaexperts.com/att-service/comment-page-1/#comment-4215 kirk Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:35:03 +0000 http://nokiaexperts.com/?p=1683#comment-4215 <p>Matt, sorry to hear about your poor experience w/ATT. I live on the other side of the Sound (Silverdale) and the service is great. As they say, YMMV. I'm really enjoying the e71x, but I'm a little disappointed in a couple of points. I thought it would work in Japan (my fault for not researching deep enough, 2100mhz required there) and despite getting it unlocked, I cannot get my global roaming SIM to work in the phone. I can see all the networks wherever I am (Hong Kong, Singapore, Philippines etc, except Japan) in Singapore, I even got a welcome text from them when I manually connected to the networks, but I could not get a call out. I got the aural message "call not allowed". I've tried about everything. When I put the GR SIM in, there's an extra menu under: MENU/SETTINGS/CONFIG/PHONE/CALL RESTRICTION and it wants a PIN to unlock it. Don't have it and haven't been able to get an answer from ATT over email about it. But the menu is only there with the SIM in, so I'm wondering if it's even ATT's area of responsibility. Any ideas? kirk</p> Matt, sorry to hear about your poor experience w/ATT. I live on the other side of the Sound (Silverdale) and the service is great. As they say, YMMV.

It worked with the 3g and seemed okay. overall though at times he could not send picture messages or receive them. It has steadily become worse. Sometimes he couldn't make calls or would get connection errors when making them. The other day he stopped into an at&t store. A friend he knew worked there and had set his daughter's phone up for him. He is currently switching here phone over to another family member so as not to break the contract on that line (2 years). He is going to be going under my T-Mobile loyalty plan as I have had my line since '04. (89.99 for two lines with UNLIMITED minutes!) The sales person told him that at&t loads a small amount of proprietary software on their branded phones so that they will work on their service. Anyone else will experience these problems as at&t is not at liberty to support unlocked or other carrier phones. So unless you buy a phone from them expect to have trouble according to what I am finding out. I wonder what the FCC would think if they new this and if it was true?? I personally don't know if what she told him was true but it might be worth finding out! And you know at&t would emphaticaly deny it!</p> Something you may not have known and probably very few people do…..

I barely make calls and am missing my 3G when I'm not home (wifi), but I've survived with basic browsing and connection for my homescreen widgets on N97, but now I'm considering a prepaid SIM for AT&T so I can have 3G when I need it.</p> I switched to T-Mobile with my N95-3, as the dropped calls were getting ridiculous and where I was moving had no service w/ AT&T.

I would be interested in a follow-up post about your difficulties of dropping your T-mobile family plan and using an AT&T one. Or was it simply stopped in its tracks by the poor service?

Alas, I am stuck on AT&T and would be interested in the E71x.
