I have Alltel from the Dothan area. Reception is good all over. My work phone is an ATT unit and it sux! Sadly ATT has bought out Alltel in the southeast part of alabama and I will be moving on over to Verizon very soon. I went through this when my 1st carrier was bought out by ATT and I will not make that mistake ever again. From the poor customer service to awful coverage, and from the lame excuses to the creative billing, it was absolute torture!

I hate AT&T and have for years. Great commercials but consistently drop calls, in the last year I no longer have a signal at my home on Red Mountain, tired of calling to complain and investing time into negotiating price breaks for non service and deplore the AT&T arrogant attitude. They screwed me on my Internet package and so I dropped that and landline and soooo look forward to changing cell to another carrier. Will NEVER EVER be another AT&T customer again.

I live in the area and have seen coverage deteriorate over several years. Every time I begin using the phone, only 1 bar is available, often increasing to 2 or 3 as I make a call or access the Internet. It is now very rare to see 4 or 5 bars. I have had to ask callers to repeat themselves because of audio drop-outs. About 1 call in 7 is not placed on the first try. I conclude that AT&T has added local customers, but not capacity to serve them. (Or perhaps they don't want customers to feel they can do without their land lines, provided by AT&T.)

Signal bars go all over the place (from 1 to 5 to 3 to 5, etc.) all the time. I've had the same problem for 9 years and all I get from AT&T (previously Cingular) was that they are improving towers all the time.

I just moved to this house. Reception is very poor-sometimes no reception in the house. AT&T told me it must be the house. However, I have spotty reception outside as well.

I had to return my new iphone the next day after switching from Verizon to AT&T. No service inside my house. Spotty service in some places in my yard, and that's it. Bummer.

There is absolutely no reception here with ATT. I can stand in the middle of the street, with no high-rise buildings in sight, on a cloudless day, and consistently still get 0 reception. This is just behind Dreamland BBQ.

So, just the fact that I have a TREO, should give you an idea of how this story goes..;-) The TREO (Company Issued-Not by Choice) has some major issues when it comes to voice communications, I have consistent dropped calls on Patton-Chapel road, especially near the area of New Construction on Patton Chapel, also at the bridge crossing over Shades Creek... These are low levels that seem to lose signal no matter what...

I do not get any reception in my condo, and it frequently cuts out on Acton Road. My friends with other carriers get great reception in both places.
