Have had horrible coverage for over a month. Significant delay time before calls start ringing the majority of the time. Coverage very spotty, frequently drop calls. Took to store, they said Sim card and replaced. No relief. Same thing happens with other AT&t phones next to mine. Store reps denied any significant problems with network. I insisted on help, they said call customer service. Customer service admitted issue with towers, said new towers being added (should have been working properly a week ago but still same issues). They did credit me with acceptable financial compensation (assuming the issues were resolved a week ago). Giving them a few more days before I give up and just buy contract out. They will lose significantly in the long run.

Recently switched to Verizon this month, and I am very happy with my service! Coming from AT&T, I love the 3G on Verizon. I have no found a dead zone yet, and data speeds are great. My advice is if you need a new network or are looking around, give Verizon a look. They are great, even in rural areas!

I bought an iPhone 4 for my wife last week and therefore had to purchase att&t service. I'm very unimpressed with att&t reception. Although, I realize the iPhone has a well known problem with reception, I can't believe anyone would keep one if their experience was as bad as ours. At home, at work on RSA, and many other places in Huntsville, we are unable to keep a call going for more than 30 seconds. The phone is going back this week and I'm canceling the att&t service.

I seldom ever have dropped calls. Although, I only get 2-3 bars at home, my call quality and reliability are very strong. I do drop calls for an instant on Memorial Pkwy. south of i565 and on the Hampton Cove side of Cecil B. Ashburn, but reception immediately returns.

I have to walk into my dining room to get two bars (that do not go away if I move the phone around) to talk. I can get 3-4 bars in other rooms but they disappear as soon as I move the phone. I get 2-3 bars if I walk outside and up to the mailbox. Does anyone know of a Cingular phone that gets GREAT reception?

I changed from Corr Wireless to T-Mobile because Corr had no signal at my home in NE Hsv and poor signal in most places in Hsv. My T-Mobile signal is full bars most places in Huntsville. I went from Corr's Endless Minutes plan with no signal (so it was unusable) at $50 / month to T-Mobile's 1500 minutes a month for $40 / month. I am so happy with my signal strength now. What good is unlimited time when you have *no* signal strength? BTW, I work next to the Credit Union on Wynn Dr.and have full bars everywhere in my building. With Corr I had to go to the windows facing the Credit Union (or go outside) to be able to talk reliably. 12 / 30 / 2005

very good reception throughout the HSV area -- only problem is verizon's totally crappy BREW platform, which has me looking for another carrier and phone.

Surprisingly poor reception (often, none at all) on Monte Sano Mountain near the southern intersection of Monte Sano Blvd. and Panorama Drive. Reception is generally non-existent along the portion of Monte Sano Blvd. between Panorama Dr.and Governor's Drive.

The bad signal in this area is temporary because of the April 27 tornados messed up one of the towers in the area resulting of it being offline due to repairs.

ATT useless, cannot connect at home, drops calls, failed calls. It never ever works at home, I am changing soon. I am fed up with it, I had 5 bars in Denver and could not make a call, it wold try forever and drop. Useless, utterly useless.

I switched from the company that was bought out by AT&T two years ago. Reception at my work location in the courthouse was non existant and one of the companies reps told me they needed a repeater in the downtown are but didn't waqnt to spend the money. He recommended I change service and I did. The Verison dealer on Jones Valley Dr. recommended a V325 cell phone with the retractable antenna to enhance reception. I bought it and since then I've been all over town, the Smokies and several surrounding states with excellent reception. I believe the type phone you purchase can make all the difference.

Reception is spotty. I ALWAYS drop calls in the area crossing over the hill on Mountain Gap Road. (We call that the "dead zone" around here.) Our neighbors use Verizon and have no problems whatsoever.

I live in Sandhurst just south of Hobb Road. Coverage in my house is nearly non-existent. Things are not much better outside either. Have several friends and family who also live in the same general area, and they report the same problems.

Service is terrible here. Maybe 1 or 2 bars outside on a good day. Usually 0 bars in house. Bought a two year plan before moving here from Dallas, where the reception was always good, everywhere. Should've waited and signed up with Verizon. Oh well, 12 more month and we'll join the Ex-att ranks, unless they get their problems fixed. Can't afford $150 a month for sometime service.

My family and I are on AT&T and we are very displeased with the service here. The reception used to be very good and I did not have many dropped calls, but recently it has been the exact opposite. I don't even get clear reception in my house and I have had too many dropped calls to count. It's the same situation at most of my friends' houses. We have had enough so my sister and I cancelled our contract 2 months before it ended and are switching to Verizon (just waiting for our new phones to come in). My parents are switching to Verizon as well. I will post my review of Verizon once after I get a chance to test their service out.
