My service has been disappearing for no reason recently. Literally phone sitting on a desk with lose service and sometimes not come back for 15 minutes. Also it will randomly drop from LTE to Edge and won't go back to LTE unless I put it in airplane mode and then back to normal. Just want to make sure my phone isn't the issue and its actually AT&T that's the problem.
I've got AT&T. We haven't had any problems with any of our phones (3).
I'm in Evergreen and have AT&T. I actually did notice this, this past week. It'd be on my desk, and go to "No Service". Then it'd come back. Right now i'm at 4 bars of 5, and earlier it was one. So i'm not sure what's going on but I did notice that this week and go "huh..."
I'm in the middle of nowhere with ATT and weird stuff happens all the time. It's not new though. One minute 5 bars, the next minute none. ATT is the only one that has coverage at the house though.
Last summer there was a couple times where I'd lose total connectivity and could only get it back by restarting the phone.

"Mr Byte Stryke, if you read your terms of service, we are not obligated to provide you service anywhere."
"But I live in a Major metropolitan area... I am not even considered a suburb."
"I am sorry sir, we cannot help you."
Over the 20 years we've had cell phones we've had AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. AT&T has been the absolute worst with dropped calls and areas we can't seem to get coverage. We had them back in '96 and when the contract was up we went to T-Mobile where we almost NEVER had a problem with dropped calls or lack of coverage. About 4 years ago we wanted an iphone and the only carrier was AT&T. Went back to them and it was just as bad as I remembered. We were up in Breckenridge (4 years ago mind you), I could hardly get a signal to call, let alone send a text. While my buddy on Verizon had zero issues and this was at the Base Lodge at Peak 7. Switched to Verizon when the got the Iphone and have had very few issues...
Won't do AT&T unless I have no other choice.
AT&T on 4 iphones. Service is much better then T-Mobile was, I can actually get service at the house now. Verizon however seems to have the best coverage by far, but your gonna pay!
Assuming iPhone
First try to reset your network settings. Settings --> General --> All the way to the bottom - Reset --> Rest Network Settings. You will have to re-enter your WiFi information when this is done, but I have seen this help and it is the first step CS will do with you.
I don't have good luck with AT&T. Always lose calls.
And for IPhones, 6 in 3 yrs. So those aren't working out very well either!
