I can call inside my house where it use to be a dead spot with AT&T. Go Verizon!

I get 2bars in front of only one window facing the street inside my house and reception often faint in and out. Calls get drop often and it will not ring for incoming call. Messages do not show up day after. Cannot wait till my contract is over. I have over 4500 rollover minutes that just show you my cellphone is useless.

No reception on Alameda St.and in most of Altadena. Terrible customer service. I've had a service request in since April, and there's been no action. Do not use this company!

Calls do not come through or "Not Allowed" when calling mobile to mobile and must try 3 or more time to connect. Calls from Altaden to Los Angeles do not go through or may be dropped during call. This happens often during the day. Don't know if they are servicing equipment, if so they should have a notice emailed to customer. The technology is there. They call if they want to get paid for service, right or text message you!

No signal with Sprint in the neighborhood. 2-3 bars when I force the phone into roaming. Very frustrating as not all services are available when roaming.

No reception at my house on Holliston and Palm unless I stand on the roof. Reception is spotty north of Altadena Drive.

Reception has gotten better in the past few months but the phone is still practically unusable in the house and even outside. Drops calls completely at the corner of Fair Oaks and Loma Alta / Wapello and NO reception going down Fair Oaks until you get to Woodbury (as long as you don't make a right turn on Woodbury).

one or two bars in house but spotty. Notice of Public Hearing from LA County in the mail this week that someone wantsto add 9 cell towers in Altadena 4-5 East of Lake. Yeah! Hope it's soon.

If I go to the south side of the house, I get good reception (4-5). If I go to the north side of the house I get horrible reception (0-1). Same result outdoors. In general I like NEXTEL due to its radio feature for the construction channel. Service is good, lots of good deals on Internet, and good group plans. They recently were merged with Sprint and overall service should improve through an integrated network over time.

Cingular has been a big disappointment in getting reception around Altadena. There are parts of my lawn that, if I crink my neck just right I can barely get a signal to call, but it is so difficult to get a consistent signal around Altadena, I ended up using my cheap phone with Verizon to call around Altadena or Pasadena. Right at the corner of Chaney and Alzada I can get a Cingular signal, but then the street descends to Loma Alta and it drops off again. No signal at Loma Alta and Chaney.
