We thought that as well, but when we switched from Verizon to AT&T we had no problem transferring my wife's iPhone. She can not get LTE data reception, but everything else works just fine (voice, data, etc.). We went to the AT&T store near Lowes and told them that supposedly the phone was "locked" but they slipped an AT&T sim card into her phone and everything worked.

As to the OP's original post - we live in Hillsborough and have AT&T cell phones and an AT&T wireless home phone and have never had a dropped call and always have clear reception. We were told that AT&T will be turning on new towers near Brownwood and Wildwood in the near future to "blanket" the area with 4G data capability. We usually have 2 - 3 bars inside the house but once those towers go live I'm sure that will go up.
