AT&T Wireless ,formerly Cingular, Trapped in a Contact that AT&T will not let me out of yet I can't get cell service within a 5 block radius of my new home in the heart of Chicago Internet

I can totally understand how that would be a pain for you... however, expecting them to build a cell tower on your block, when those towers are ridiculously expensive is not going to happen unless enough people complain.  Heck, it could just be the terrain: tall buildings wreak havoc on certain bands of cell service, and AT&T doesn't have all the licenses in all the cities to get down past the tall buildings in all areas.

What you can do is go to the local AT&T store, and tell them your story.  As of yesterday, the company has launched a micro-cell device that will use your internet connection to put out a low-range cell tower signal in your own house.  They may try to sell you the device for $150, but if you cause enough of a stink, the manager of the store can work something out for you. 

If you don't have an internet connection at home, this won't work for you, but if you do, it's a viable option to make sure that you can make and receive phone calls at home.

Pay your bill, use it when you can, and shut up.

They didn't tell you to move. They didn't force you to a place without cell coverage.

Most of all, they don't have to give you coverage everywhere, and especially not at your house.

I moved while under a cell contract 6 years ago. Had 8 months left on one phone, 13 on the other on the contract. Moved about, oh, 300 miles from the nearest tower for that local carrier.

Know what I did? Paid my bill, without complaint, for the 8 months till the first line came up.  When that lines contract was done I called up to cancel it, explaining that I had moved out of the state and wouldn't be needing the line anymore.

They canceled it, and just to be nice, sent me a thank you letter and canceled my other line early since I'd  been nice and paid my bill without needing/using the phone for 8 months.
