Another reason for jailbreaking is the extremely overpriced phone plans provided by AT&T. Their cheapest plan comes out to almost $100 after "taxes and other fees".
One can switch to T-Mobile for a similar plan that costs much less.

They are jailbroken because people want to make phone calls, and AT&T's crummy network cannot offer this to them.

And because people want to run things that the crap apps store refuses to approve anything unless it's at+t or apple made.. and if it's your bloody phone why shouldn't you put anything you want on it??
Anyway.. useless sucky phones.. no signal where my nokia will show 4 bars.

Are you sure it is the phone and not the network? My POS samsung phones gets 4 out of 5 bars where iPhones only get roaming, but that is because I don't use AT&T.

my iphone gets better att signal than any phone i've seen.
fails at finding the network though; takes forever.
at&t does suck for charging way too much and not having enough 3g coverage.

the finding network thing actually works for me great on other at&t phones.
works good on this iphone when i'm on 3g.
problem is at&t seems to have mostly only edge coverage where i go.
it's like a big deal for those around me when we slip into 3g areas.
all the people i know with cdma carriers got their 3g everywhere.
i could try tmobile, but come on...in this country? really?
maybe they turned on support for os 3.0 mms, because at&t still hasn't.

You are doing better than some...there are a few places here in Tampa, FL where the buildings average over 3 stories, yet there is no signal on AT&T! It's easy to blame AT&T for this, but the blame should lie with Apple, for locking it's phone to a network that is known to be of low quality.
