Have been a Verizon customer for 7 years. Dropped calls and poor quality has increased significantly since early 2010

I have had Sprint and AT&T in Tucson. In comparing these, I have to say Sprint was the better carrier, but I had to watch my bill with them, and not assume that everything was right. However, I rarely had connectivity issues. AT&T: I ONLY have AT&T because I haven't jailbroken my iPhone, and am impatiently waiting for the contract to expire, or for Apple to license another provider. I used to live at Kolb and Sahuarta, and while they CLAIMED that I could get good coverage there, it was so intermittent that there is no way I could have survived without a landline. Ex: I would get calls, and it would go directly into voicemail, and I wouldn't even recieve notification of the call until I drove into an area with better reception. Kind of negates the point of having a phone. Now that I live in town, I have to periodically update my network settings, as I get kicked out of service for some reason. Also, in general, poor building penetration. Finally, the customer service people suck up to the point where it's almost embarassing to hear them grovel. Don't kiss my butt, give me better service! Come on, end of contract!

I've had T-Mobile for two years now and can honestly say it is the worst cell service available in Tucson. I work in medical sales and am constantly traveling throughout Tucson area. I only get service in one of the hospitals (NW) and regularly drop calls in every part of the city. I have one of the best phones T-Mobile has to offer, the service is just bad. I'm going back to Verizon this month, which has the best coverage in Tucson.

Way better reception over the last 2 yrs

I dont know how all these people complain about at and t so much. Maybe I just got a good phone. Never had a problem inside or out. Also drove from tucson to Phoenix listening to Pandora Internet radio with no problem the whole way. I think AT and T is good. Maybe in big cities like New York there are problems but for tucson and phoenix never had a problem.

Best of all PRICE and Customer Service

ATT service blows chunks. It has no building penetration whatsoever. Services goes in and out all the time. I cannot wait until my contract is up, the only reason I went to them was for the Iphone - BIG Mistake!

AT&T blows in my house. There is no better way to put it. They are terrible. I only get reception in a few key corners of my house and still I get dropped calls all the time. People need to unite and fight this terrible corporation.

I can only complete a phone call if I am outside. Reception improves as I travel away from my home.

No dropped calls or problems

only good signal on second floor. 1st floor spotty and often drop / miss calls. blackberry is better than iphone though.

No problems with Verizon but I'd sure like an iphone! Anyone in this area have an iphone with AT&T?

I can not count on reception that's good enough for a business call.

Inside my house, most of the time my iPhone will say "No Service" and if I can get one bar to receive a call, if I stay inside it will drop within a minute or two. I frequently have to go outside in order to talk on the phone. If it does drop a call, it takes a few minutes once I'm outside for the connection with a tower to reset. I've complained at least 7 or 8 times to AT&T but to no avail. They say towers are coming near me but I can't wait until my contract is up.

I have to go outside our near a window to use my cell at work. I get No Signal to 2 bars depending on if I am near a window or outdoors. I live at Broadway and Pantano and get 5 bars inside my home. From reviews and talking with friends, it appears Verizon offers the best coverage in the Tucson area in general.

In my house I can only get a signal in a few places and those locations are not consistant. I had Sprint and Alltel before my company changed to AT&T and both worked well in any part of my home. I have been complaining to AT&T since September of 2007. They keep saying they are improving their sites, but my reception doesn't change. I had an AT&T Blackberry Bold and a Curve before the iPhone and had the same problems.

The service bars in Tucson with t mobile are not half bad,Either is customer service.

Never had any connection issues with Verizon anywhere in Tucson.

Terrible service, absolutely terrible. Have never lived anywhere in the US where coverage is so poor and then spotty at best. I'll leave my house, drive a mile and a half south and then get all kinds of alerts for emails, texts and most importantly voicemails. AT&T needs to step up to the plate and provide the quality of coverage / service I pay for (dearly) every month. My backyard backs up to a wash (my property). Come build a tower there. All the health warnings are nonsense. Just make sure it looks like a century plant or a suguaro!

t-mobile has a 'take it or leave it' approach to customer service.
