See the second sentence, it's not an issue for rural people as much as it is for very large densely populated areas that have hundreds of thousands of iphones on the same network. AT&T can't handle the monster it gave birth too.

These are also people that live on their phone, so they go through some minutes and experience more failures than the average user.

Are there any phones on any network that never drop a call?

I never drop calls unless I am in known dead spots. I have never dropped a 3G available call to my recollection. Pretty much with any phone I have had on Verizon.

Well I talk like a total of 80 mins a month on my phone, so I don't really give it much an opportunity to drop a call since I average probably around 2 mins per call.
