I share the pain. My iPhone 3GS is just over 2 years old. I have had my phone replaced twice and the SIM card once. It drops calls frequently… it is so frustrating. No improvement since I got the phone… worse if anything. The only thing that seems to help is turning power off then on each morning. I am surprised there is not an application that does this automatically. Turning power off and on is a solution the sales rep told me to try. Most likely my last contract with Rogers.

Even as I love a bodily keyboard, after managing the Samsung Captivate for about 15 minutes, it is hard to move back. Presently I’m debating whether or not to go to Verizon for the Droid X, move to Dash for the EVO, or stick with AT&T for the Captivate…selections, decisions.

I have, or rather had a Palm Treo 680 with the exact same dropped and missed call issues.Couldn not even dial out while in good reception. Roger’s even sent out a replacement Palm Treo 680 and this diddn’t even fix it, same problems. Countless resets to the phone, couldn’t live with a phone like this, so I went back to my crappy, but trusty nokia that works without fail. I miss my palm, it has hardly been used but totally useless because of it’s unreliable network.

I live in the greater vancouver area (langley) and i only seem to have dropped/missed calls AND texts when I’m in Langley. Anywhere else, it seems to be fine. Its more missed calls then anything. I rarely get dropped calls, but i shouldnt get any. Also, i will text “hello” to somebody, and over the course of the day it will send the same text to that person multiple times, up to 15!

I have had a few dropped calls, but only with one person and never with anyone else. No issues with any calls going to voicemail so far in the first year of service. I would not be so quick to jump to Telus or Bell with their new, untested, networks. They may be better or they might be the same.

Ok whats the consensus here, is the problem:
- strictly Rogers 3G related
- Iphone 3G related
- or the combo of the two?

would switching to another phone be of any use??

Yep my iPhone is dropping calls left right and center… It’s clearly an issue with Rogers. I have the latest software update from Apple 3.1.2 and that doesn’t even help!!! Rogers fix this!!!!

I haven’t had any problems since my last update. No dropped calls, no missed calls — heck, even tethering works without a hitch anywhere I use it. I wonder if it’s the location I’m using the phone. I don’t have to fight with many tall buildings that could cause calls to drop.

Well, this issue is back with a vengeance. Its October 30th, 2009 and I now no longer can receive any or place any calls in my home or outdoors. The problem for me stopped for about 6 months but suddenly its back. I love my iphone but I hate Rogers customer service – I will call in and then they will make me go through all the hoops and then, if I persist, it will be scaled up and then nothing will get done. Sigh…I look forward to the new Droid phone as I really am fed-up with them. I spend 300$ per month for this phone and I cannot afford to have calls dropped like this.
