Same here in CO Springs. AT&T "inflates" their connection information (more bars) on their phones. [citation needed I know] I can sit in my office with 4 or 5 bars of 3G and not bring up Google.com on my IPhone. I live on the top of a hill about a block away from an array of cell towers, but my calls rarely even connect (and drop all the time).
- ericd 17y agoI've noticed this as well in an area with extremely bad reception (inside a skyscraper) - my iPhone seems to frequently default to showing 5 bars when it can't actually make or receive calls, but then when I go next to a window and it actually establishes a workable connection, the signal strength meter shows 1-2 bars. I haven't seen a citeable source, though. Edit: clarified a bit. Also, I wanted to add that I get one or more dropped calls basically every day, even outside (in Manhattan).
