    I thought I'd share. This has a couple useful links for dealing with a carrier that refuses to be helpful. Hope this helps some of you with your providers.

    1. Go to AT&T Coverage Viewer (or respective wireless carrier's site) and enter your address. Make sure solid coverage actually exists. If it doesn't, switch providers.

    2) Call the wireless provider's technical support department from a phone that is not experiencing the problems. Go through all the steps that they request you to do. Then if they try to get off the phone saying "Oh, it's a device issue"...request a "trouble ticket". This requires that technicians do a little more digging. They may visit the location or look at information from an online source. It will pinpoint the exact problem. If they call you back and say "It is your device", threaten to switch providers and explain it is happening on multiple devices.

    3) File an FCC complaint at File Complaint | FCC.gov . Once you choose "Wireless", the next page will offer you the ability to file a complaint about "Billing, Service, Privacy, Number Portability and other issues". This covers basically everything. You can dispute the fact you are paying for service but not really receiving it. You can include how unhelpful customer service is. You can include that nothing is being resolved. Explain EVERYTHING. All experiences with customer service, the network, EVERYTHING. When the FCC contacts the provider, it will jump on fixing the problems and maybe even issuing account credits/discounts until the problem is resolved.

    4) Contact the Better Business Bureau. File a complaint there at https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/getstarted.aspx . The BBB strives to mediate problems. They will contact the provider and act as a voice between you and them. They tend on being very helpful getting providers to speak about the problems. The BBB has NO power to make them do anything. They can try, but has no official power. The provider will try to please them because they report how well companies work with customers and how good they are in general.

    5) If all else fails, give up and switch.

    The truth is if you don't do your homework before you buy the phone it can cost you dearly. If you do buy the phone test coverage everywhere you go and bring it back within 2 weeks for refund if the wireless coverage is not good.
