Cell service up Cathedral and Redwood Dr.just plain old sucks. Probably because of the mountains and high trees. I can get reception in one corner of the house if I am absolutely still. Sometimes I get a better signal outside on the deck but that's only if the planets are aligned. Am thinking about trying Cingular because I want a data plan that doesn't cost a fortune, but I don't think reception will be any better.

I cannot phone out. I will receive but cannot answer. Relatively no reception strength.

Almost all calls switch to analog. Phone will display [D] digital then switch to analog. I have to power cycle phone to regain digital signal. Frequent problems with dropped calls. Sometimes my analog call conversations get mixed with different calls. Receiption near Rio Del Mar Blvd is dood.

I might get 1 bar in the corner of my room tucked away on a window sill and 1 or two out at the very end of my yard (if i'm lucky). Not a normal or reliant way to keep in contact.

A very sketchy reception area from Soquel Drive / Rio Del Mar Blvd to Ocean & South to La Selva & North 1/2 mile on Hwy 1, antenna appears to be below tree line and surrounded by tall Redwood trees and hillside. Neighbors against new antenna to increase coverage as of this date.

May as well not have a phone.

I just bought a house 1 mile up Cathedral Dr. and was dissappointed that my Cingular service got no reception on the hilly, tree heavy property. I've been very happy with service elsewhere, but this part of Cathedral is a dead zone.

I had below average connection until Att / Cingular has put a repeater in at Sescape Village. (Seascape and Sumner) Now, my phone will ring sometimes, but I cannot keep a connection. If you have an all digital Verizon phone, you cannot access the Analog tower in La Selva Beach If you have a digital phone, you might have better service. If you have a digital phone with an extendable antennae, you will have even better service.

No relationship between numbers of bars that phone shows and the ability to make a call or complete a call. Voicemail alerts show up hours later. I have to leave my phone plugged into the recharger when I'm home otherwise it will be "Searching" all the time and my battery will drain within two or three hours.

works great every place in santa cruz, except the fish hook my the peachwoods, comes right back full bars. ONLY place I found.
