They were leasing towers from other companies. When the least ran out the
company would not release them the towers.

I have the local TDMA Digital Advantage here in Tennessee. We're getting all
circuits busy here, too and GSM in this area is not yet fully functional. I
think we have fewer channels here, too. It used to better. We may switch
after our commit time is up.

Good news, They finally let me out of my contract and I don't have to pay
the 175.00 fee.
I am going with Alltel they have great coverage in Michigan.
They also have good deals for there national plan.

Does Michigan have a warrantee of marketability? If it does AT&T may
be violating it for you, and your contract may be void. (If it's
void, it doesn't exist, so there wouldn't be any fee to "get out of
it".)

>Also many time when I try to call out the network is to busy to make a call.

There's nothing we can do about that. There's no guarantee of time of
service.

Same problem - no more slots available in any cell you can reach.

The only legitimate problem you've posted is the change in coverage.
Check your state out for a warrantee of marketability. Check with
your state Attorney General's office.

I also live in southern Michigan and have AT&T wireless service. I've never,
ever, had a problem with it and wouldn't even consider switching to another
carrier.
