Have to go outside the house for even a half-bar. I'm always seeing voicemails that were never alerted. I also don't have any coverage at work - in the Natomas / National Dr.area. When I call AT&T, they just want to upgrade my service. All I want is to be able to use my cell phone. I hate them now and will pay to get out of this contract.

Just upgraded to 3GS and have no 3G. Re-booting does not help as it did in my 3G phone. I have Wi-Fi but says mail server is not responding. It worked fine yesterday at work in Rancho Cordova. Is this what I have to deal with?

On top of a hill and the only way to get reception is on the roof. Very poor reception. near Arden and Fair Oaks intersection

Coverage sucks for voice service. 3G data coverage is somewhat better. It's no wonder the voice coverage sucks - there are NO cell towers anywhere nearby. This area is smack in the middle between the two closest cell towers, both of which are quite far away. Voice bars fluctuate by the minute between 0 -3 bars sitting in the same location in my house (near Keane and Kipling). It's necessary for me to use inhome wireless network for good data connectivity. Can't rely on a consistently strong 3G signal. While you can fix the data connection by installing a wireless router in the home, there's absolutely nothing you can do to improve the poor voice coverage. Unfortunately, the iPhone will have to go back to ATT and I'll be going back to my Verizon Blackberry, which has excellent voice and data coverage everywhere that I've ever been in the greater Sacramento area.

Over all good for GSM signal. sometimes 4 out of 5 bars. Other times, 2 out of 5 bars. Old AT&T digital signal (Nokia phone) is consistantly good.
