My iphone 4s on ATT constantly looses 3G

It happens when I'm inside an app, such as FourSquare or Facebook. It only started happening a few days ago and has happened in multiple cities across the USA, making me think it isn't ATT service, yet rather the hardware itself.
It starts by loosing the 3G icon and the app tells me there isn't an internet connection, then the bars and AT&T disappear and it goes to "searching..." then signal pops back up and it works for a few minutes. Then the same thing happens again. It doesn't say "no signal/service" so it's as if the tower is constantly re-connecting. Hasn't been an issue for the first few weeks, and just started happening on Sunday.

Hello there, apbeverton.
When working to resolve connectivity issues with Wi-Fi disconnecting, the following Knowledge Base article offers some practical steps to take:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
If after performing the initial recommended steps the issue persists, this section may provide some additional assistance:
Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Constantly loosing 3G connection

I constantly loose 3G connection for edge in my Iphone 5S, especially in my office, at one of the commercial centers of my city (oil & gas). When I contacted my carrier (TIGO), they told me that 3G signal (is not strong enough or) has interference from other devices and that all Iphones grab the strongest signal around and cannot be set to use 3G only (Android phones do).
Don´t know how important Third World´s Iphone market is for Apple, but our 3G networks are not mature yet (no LTE at all). So please add this feature in a future IOS update. All Third World´s Iphone users will be very thankful.

Losing signal inside an office building is not unique to iPhone. Most phones have reduced if any signal in metal buildings, underground etc.
Even my beloved android phone.

If you have music from other sources on your phone (e.g. copied from CDs) and you don't have them on a backup, then there are some program listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Did you remove your account information from the other person's iPhone?

Is it possible to get my old iphone 3gs from att to work on a verizon network?

No - your iPhone is a GSM phone and Verizon uses a CDMA network. Completely incompatible device and technology.

More than 1 iphone on same ATT account?

This is probably a basic question that has been answered many times...but I can't find it on the search so my apologies for any redundancy.
My wife already has an iphone on our ATT family plan and is paying an extra $50 a month for the 3g Data package. I am now eligible for an iphone upgrade and I'm told by AT&T that I will need to pay an ADDITIONAL $30 a month for my data package.
However, a coworker is in the same situation but bought his iphone directly from an apple store where they simply "attached" his new iphone to the existing account so he is NOT paying any additional monthly fee.
So which is it? Must each iphone have it's own data package fee or can more than one access the 3g network via the same account?

Thanks everyone......based on your input, half of the mystery is solved. Turns out the upstanding rep at AT&T signed my wife up for the $45/month Enterprise package which she neither requested nor needed.......she just didn't realize there was a $30 option. Lesson learned: it pays to do your homework BEFORE you buy. The additional $5 was for the 200 text/month package. So I'll be changing her account to the regular $30/month data pack since that's all she needs.
The other portion of the mystery is still unsolved. My friend is certain that he and his wife are sharing the same data package over 2 iphones.....but I think there must be something missing there. Anyway, thanks all you've been very patient and a huge help!

Is the earphone jack on the iPhone supposed to be slightly loose?

Probably not, but "loose" is probably subjective. Nitty gritty - if it works, it works, and you have no problem.

Welcome to the Apple community.
You need to use the Apple IDs that you created for them for iCloud as well as iTunes. You will also find that you need to use them for messages and face time.

IPhone 4 with Att, 3g, I can receive calls but caller can't hear me. I tried reboot and remove sim card. Help!

Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

If I have an IPhone 4 with ATT, can I change carriers?

In addition to what stedman said, you will only
be able to use it with providers that us GSM
for their service and cannot be used on CDMA
networks, i.e. an AT&T phone cannot be used
on Verizon or Sprint.

For iphone users with att, can you block incoming texts all together? After paying $20 for data i dont want to pay as i go/pay more for texts

SMS is exchanged over the same network as calls - no data involved.
MMS requires data.
iMessage requires the same as email - internet access via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular data network.
You can disable SMS/MMS altogther with your account by requesting this with AT&T. You can turn iMessage off unless your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network.
