Reception improves the closer you get to I-20. Once you pass by a large hill on the south side of H-77 where a large cell tower is, just before entering Talladega city you will loose all connectivity. My wife has a Nokia phone with the same results. We both had Analog Roming signal indications but no access once we were in Talladega.

For the past two months, reception in Talladega has been spotty at best. For the past 3 weeks or so, all received calls go straight to voice mail, there is a huge lag in texting time and mobile internet is nonexistent. For the past week, there has been practically no service at all, despite having "full bars". I know several people that have called to complain and have either been told that there is not a problem in Talladega or that it is a tower issue that will be resolved within 48 hours--though the problems still persist.

I have had poor service for over a month, today(0ct 15, 2010) I have not been able to get out any or recive calls or text from AT&T. I have been given the run-a-round and gave a $25 credit whcih does not messure up to the lack of service I have endured. I went to the FCC complaint website and sent a complaint, I encourage everyone in this area to do the same. Enough is enough. I want to go to another service and do not feel I should have to pay the early cancelation fee. I'm sure I am not alone.

AT&T reception is very poor in Talladega City especially between the hours of 3:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. Lately, it has been far worse than ever. At times, my text messages (sent / received) have been delayed by at least six hours or not at all-even some of my voice mail messages are not being received. Most, if not all, of the AT&T carriers that I have spoken to share the same experiences... and who has time to call AT&T, wait and wait and wait, talk to a representative one can barely understand, and then be transferred to another department only to have to retell the problem??! It is very, very frustrating-and that's putting it very mildly. The best option is to switch carriers-no sense in continuing to pay for horrible service.

I have updated my Cingular phones over the years from an old analog. Each upgrade, my service gets worse. I now cannot get any bars at my land. Coverage map says I should get good coverage.

I live 2.0 miles from Wal-Mart. I have little to no reception inside and very limited reception outside. Outside wal-mart, there are 4 bars, inside Wal-Mart, 1-0 depending on the location inside.

No reception at my house or in area. There is a ton of growth in this area and it needs coverage badly. The first carrier to this area will win the county.

Tmobile has good phones but the service isnt good here in Talladega. We don't have 3G nor 4G towers. Im thinking about go with Verizon before my contract is up. Everytime I go to Birmingham my phone is the best because of the towers over there.

Works perfect all over the whole county much better than T-Mobile.

When the stars align or a blue moon the phone works ! Had a bag phone years ago I used as a land line, what happened to that recepeption?
