Been in Castro Valley for 11 years. Terrible coverage. I kept thinking that it would improve. Called Verizon this year and told them that I "couldn't hear them now". They said there were no plans to fix the problem. Their answer was to sell me a home micro cell that hooks up to the internet. Good signal now but there is a brief delay in the conversations like the international calls had back in the day. I have a Sprint phone from work that gets 5 bars in my living room...

I have lived in this development for over 4 yrs. Reception has been spotty for all cell services. I have Verizon now and I now avg. 2.5 bars but it does fade in and out (especially in the evening). Verizon has been the best of the worst for this area. Inside residences usually exacerbates the reception problem, especially facing the canyon. If you live in this development / zip (94552), do NOT depend on any cell service to replace your land-line. AT&T is 2nd best (2-bars less often but this will fade in and out also). T-Mobile, Sprint / NexTel and Metro-PCS have non-existent coverage (no bars to 1-bar and it fades). My recommendation, Verizon is best for this area but don't rely on reception and use a land-line as a primary phone service. Use cell only as a back-up.

I'm at the very top of Palomares Hills and the service is horrible. You will get full bars for a few mnutes and then no service the next. Called Verizon and they said nothing can be done as there are 3 towers within 5 miles of the area but due to the elevation, the cell signal won't be good. Folks with Cingular service I notice have 2 bars consistently. Any comments on if its worth to switch?

Horrible cell phone service. Can't find a cell phone carrier that provides decent service to the Palomare Hills neighborhood of almost 2,000 residences. I have Verizon (which is terrible) and only get 1-2 bars at most. Have also tested AT&T, Cingular, Sprint, T-Moble, etc... none of them get more than 1-2 bars in Palomares Hills. First cell phone carrier to provide decent service in Palomares Hill - Castro Valley would gain a lot of new customers!
