Had AT&T. June 2005 was asked by AT&T to switch to Cingular. New phone Motorola V551 using GSM. Told that service would be better with GSM. 2007 went to Cingular / AT&T and they downloaded new files to the phone. In the two years with current phone we have seen only a deteriation of the service to the point where we have to turn of the phone to prevent the phone from looking for network. Is GSM really the future of wireless or should we change to a carrier that is using TDMA or CDMA?
Cingular now AT&T is the worst sevice provider I have ever had. Dropped calls all over the city of Tucson. Callers seldom get through when they call me and I don't recieve there messages for 3 to 4 days after they call. Good bye AT&T, I am going back to Verizon.
I can't complain about Alltel's reception in this area. I know people with other carriers, and they complain that they drop calls but it never happens to me. My only complaint about Alltel is the outdated phones and the RIDICULOUSLY expensive data / voice plans. They start at $89.99 / mo
No reception inside and occasionally can get very poor reception outside. This area is very close to the Catalina Mountains, but I would expect better coverage than this.
Lots of drop out zones East of I-10 through most of Tucson especially on the NW end of town. Thinking about buying out my contract and switching to Verizon.
Still having problems near this area. According to the sales store nearby new towers have been put in place but only cover about a half mile north. The coverage map in this area is misleading. AT&T should recheck this area. Many customers near this area are planning to leave for the same reason I will (Most I work with). We have been told this area will improve year after year and the last upgrade was around 2005 when Cingular to over. Only the name changed, but no service improvement. Very questional service in the Walmart and Lowe's nearby, but works great at the same type stores around town so it is not the building cutting out the signals.
