Had AT&T. Had T-Mobile. Trying to make a phone call anywhere in the so-cal area was a joke. Unless your willing to get ripped off by Verizon, Sprint is your only other choice. You have coverage everywhere and roam off Verizon when you don't. Haven't found more than 1 location where I have to roam. Sprint honestly is your best choice. Don't think the new merger with AT&T and T-Mobile will help. Your prices will only go up, and you'll continually have bad service. Good luck getting AT&T to build out their network in this area. They've been apparently doing it for years. Right...

S Baldwin, Santa Anita Mall / Huntington Dr., Arcadia, CA 91007 |
Tue Aug 10, 2010 |
I live right across from the Santa Anita Mall. My iPhone is either searching for service, tells me there is no service, has bars but no 3G indicator, or has at least a bar or two at max. Calls are frequently dropped or can't be made. I don't receive calls and / or e-mails. And texts are sometimes a day late or never received. Going outside does not help. Going down towards Duarte Rd or even up towards Foothill doesn't help either. I moved here from West Covina, which is only a 10-15 minute drive away where I had excellent reception everywhere. I will be switching to Verizon as soon as my contract is up.

Live in the first floor of a two story apartment. No reception except right in front of the window (1-2 bars). I have to step outside in order to get 3-4 bars.

I have AT&T and most of the time reception is zero. Called AT&T and they say they are going to put new tower soon. And were suggesting me to use some other land line for home use. WOrst customer service.

Reception very poor in my house, 50% drop calls unless I stay in certain particular spots in the house. Poor reception when driving near Longden and El Monte Ave. El Monte Ave. being the worst.

None of the family members with their different handsets get any reception at home at all! I called AT&T and they say they have tons of towers around the area, but it sure doesn't help!

Sprint is the only carrier we can get "loud and clear" I tested all the major carriers when we moved here from North Cal. last year and by far Sprint is the best! great reception throughout Sierra madre but a couple of spotty areas in Arcadia. My wife has T-Mobile thru her company and she can get no reception at our house. She has to drive around to make a phone call or check email. Would love to be able to get the I-Phone but... ..

There is one specific location in my house that will work but that being said, I have to stand there for the entire conversation. Walking out of my house and about half of block, I get better reception. It got better when AT&T merged with Cingular. But its not a sure thing. I work in Downtown LA and hang in Hollywood a lot and Cingular works alright most of the time. Unlike their commercials, I get tons of dropped calls. I never use to get so many dropped calls before they merged with AT&T. I am switching to Verizon. I've heard great things.

Poor to No Reception. The servicew is terrible on all makes of Nextel phone in this area. Less than a year ago, before Sprint (BS), the service was above average. Now, I'm looking to switch service. And I'm not alone!

Verizon is great in South Arcadia... IF you have a good phone. When I had Sprint before, signal was very poor in Arcadia overall. With Verizon, although coverage is awesome all over Arcadia, there are known weak spots along Baldwin Avenue, namely where it intersects Las Tunas, and the intersects Naomi. I know people with certain LG phones drop calls like crazy there, but Motorola phones will USUALLY hold a call through these areas. To the person below me that had problems in these areas, may I recommend getting a Motorola V710, V276 or E815. You may still drop calls but the dead zones are much smaller. If the service doesn't improve with a Motorola phone, maybe switching to Sprint or Cingular would remedy the situation but I know that they suffer greatly in other parts of Arcadia.

Usually decent coverage in Arcadia, Temple City, El Monte, Pasadena, etc. T-Mobile has really improved recently, I used to get bad reception but suddenly it's gotten a lot better.
