I have ATT and am looking for new service. ATT has poor reception in my home. Only works in certain areas but lots of interference and constantly drops my calls. A friend on Mt. Rushmore has Verizon and claims has good reception.

I was told the AT&T tower for Castro Valley are is damaged. It took them 3 months and still not able to get it fix. It caused weak signals and a huge amount of dropped call.

Decent outside (3-4 bars, consistent 3G / UTMS coverage) Spotty inside / upstairs (1-4 bars, inconsistent 3G / UMTS) Mediocre coverage inside / downstairs (0-2 bars, no 3G).

We are moving to the neighborhood shortly. And I dont want to be stuck without any reception. With Cingular, I got 0 reception in the area... . Anybody else have any luck with other providers?

Used to get good reception, but now it is down to mostly 1 bar and periods of no reception.

Apparently Palomares Hills has no nearby tower (zoning ordinance) - and this is aggravated if you live in a valley /arroyo in that area. Reception is possible on Villareal Blvd., but not in the houses or backyards of houses just off the Blvd. I can get reception in my car on most East Bay area freeways. Oakland Airport is Cingular territory, direct dial works but none of the stored auto-dial numbers do, on an ATT thing. Stored auto-dial numbers on an ATT thing work perfectly, however, with Shaw Wireless in Alberta, Canada.

When phone was new 4 years ago recption was good now it is poor.

Sprint is the only carrier I have found that gives even mediocre coverage in palomares hills.

Many dropped calls. Can't use phone from home. Sprint says tower near but it doesn't matter call are still dropped.

Reception very poor with Sprint. Always dropped calls on the way home and inside the house, can't use cell phone -- it will work for a few minutes then drop call /
