I STOPPED BY the local San Diego corporate AT&T store this afternoon where a Southern California manager-type happened to be visiting. He had more knowledge than a regular sales person type.
He said that AT&T did indeed terminate their 2X and 3X sites over the last 4 months, which he believes probably affected my BlackBerry Passport's ability to get clean, strong voice reception.
He noted that this is being done throughout the State and the Nation on a phased basis. He said San Diego was the first because of the "sophistication" of their devices - more San Diegans use the most contemporary of AT&T devices than other areas of the State; and, thus, fewer people would be affected by the phase out of 2X and 3X.
He said that SoCal will be completely phased out by 2022.
He understood my favoring the BlackBerry Passport (he used to use it), and was looking forward to the new Onward Mobility BlackBerry, which he believes will be released between May and the end of July.
(how he knows this, he did not say).
In the meantime he suggested I transfer my BlackBerry Tel # to my iPhone, which he said should work just fine carrying two lines
(his iPhone has two lines...and has no issues whatsoever).
