[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 994850, member: 24160"] For all those with 3G phones experiencing cut outs on calls, I would encourage you to give a try turning off 3G except when you need data. In our use of the 1st gen iPhone for 2 years, it was an excellent phone. Here in Dallas, neither of us ever experienced a single dropped call or any cutting in and out that we can remember. It was not so great on the data side. Especially for things like going online to compare Amazon pricing before a purchase while standing in a brick and mortar store. Frankly, it sucked. The 3GS, we both experience dropped calls. My wife can't even receive a call on the thing sitting at her desk at work half the time, while browsing with Safari is a non-issue. Like someone to explain that one to me. But anyhow, we use both phones now with 3G turned off and we're back to the same great phone service we had with the 1st gen and only turn the 3G on when we're using Safari. Not a great solution, but not that bad either. Give it a try, may work for you also. [/QUOTE]
