iphone voice mail issues

All the sudden I stopped getting voicemail. I thought perhaps nobody wanted to leave me any messages. I was fine with that. Then I tried it myself. Lo and behold! It just stopped working! This is yet another example of the lameness of AT&T and the iPhone. I can tell you that people like me will leave AT&T as soon as this exclusivity trash stops. I think Verizon is evil too, but I rarely had a service issue with them like I do with AT&T. Now perhaps this would have happened on Verizon’s network as well. After all, Apple recently seems to have stability issues with the last few months of firmware upgrades… Quite frustrating. I wish I could just go back to June 2009. Things were perfect then. Lately, the network seems slow, the phone is sloggier. I’ve reinstalled from scratch a few times without any improvements. More competition will be good…
