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.)

No reception inside the house, and barely any outside. If you look at the tower map and consider the elevation, it makes sense but still disappointing. We love our phones and saving a good bit of money over my old iPhone. Great service in other areas of the city.

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 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!

Absolutely hate Sprint. Don't know why I stayed with them. I have no reception at all in my apartment in Liberty Park. Walked around the complex and still don't get anything higher that one or two bars. Definitely going to another service, despite the cancellation fee.

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.

Just switch my whole family over to Verizon. Couldn't be any more happier! I can use my phone in so many more place then I could with AT&T! They are now the largest network with 83 million.

I haven't tried other carriers, but I've had T-Mobile for about 10 years, since it was Powertel. I live in the Hollywood / Homewood area, service here was spotty up until about 2005... .Tmobile must have upgraded or added a tower nearby. Now in 2008 my service is pretty great, don't always have full bars but rarely drop a call. I give it a B+ or A-. Sure there are a few predictable dead spots around town (below Vulcan, top of Hwy. 31 at Shades Crest, Lakeshore near Samford, etc come to mind), but I suspect all carriers have and / or share dead spots. I occasionally get a random dropped call in the house or on the interstate, but not often enough to bug me, MAYBE once or twice a month at the most. And from what I've seen, T-Mobile is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than the other carriers. I don't have a home phone, so I need a lot of minutes. I only have free long distance in AL and Miss, but I get 3,000 anytime minutes for about $60 a month. That many minutes would be well over $100 with any other carrier PLUS have restrictions on WHEN I could use my minutes, etc. Too bad the iPhone is limited to AT&T... .bummer :(

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.
