Been a customer for 10 years with absolutely no problems until the last 4 months. Have NO reception in LaCosta Valley, none in my home at all. Phone is worthless. Verizon tells me that AT&T has put up new towers in the area that blocks reception. Verizon offered absolutely no help - Time to get a new carrier!!

If I walk around the parking lot, then occasionally the call connects and lasts for few minutes.

Verizon has excellent reception in and around this area and San Diego County. In fact, I have not found an area (except on the beach) where Verizon did not work well. I have had both Cingular and AT&T prior to Verizon and both were baisically worthless. I had to stand in one corner of my house to get one bar. Both had numerous dead zones along the 5 freeway as well. I would NOT recommend Cingular / AT&T.

Cingular TDMA (formerly ATT Wireless). 1-2 Bars at best in the Valencia complex / Rancho Carillo.

Front of my house (N) gives great reception; back is not so good, until you get into the yard. I see T-Mobile has planning app in for a tower on 101 and Tamarack - hopefully they'll carry Cingular equipment on there too!

Can't make or receive calls in my house or driveway; also, dead spots on Tamarack as you head from El Camino to beach / I-5 (west).

I get good reception in Rancho Carillo area of Melrose and Palomar Airport.

1 bar at best in my house. 2 bars in the backyard. Wish I had Verizon back.

I often get dropped on my calls in this area. Or have no signal at all so I can not even use my cell phone in this area. Nextel seems to have poor reception all over Carlsbad.

if i'm lucky I get two bars in the far bedroom of my apartment. calls always drop as i'm driving up the hill to the apts. 90% of my apt is a deadzone. dropped calls in the living room. its really horrible here. it drops out alot. my friends have Sprint T-Mobile cingular, and all seem to do fine. moving to mirabella soon, I think reception is better there.
