That's pretty much been proved to have no basis in fact. They won't
release the survey results, and Consumer Reports found that they were no
better than other carriers in terms of dropped calls. Actually, where I
live, I think I believe the "fewest dropped calls" claim, but only
because the coverage is such that you can't complete a lot of calls in
the first place. I've been to many places just in the past few weeks,
where there is no Cingular GSM coverage at all, but where you get
coverage on Verizon.
