Usually have no signal with Tmobile. Sometimes I'll have the Edge network with one or two bars, but calls are regularly dropped, and I get the "No network signal" message multiple times a day, delaying my texts, emails and voicemails.

If you live in Culver City, do yourself a favor and avoid AT&T. My home and office are both right off downtown and I usually have 0-2 bars which means choppy and dropped calls - all the time. I have been paying AT&T a premium amount for terrible service over the past few years and am so glad I can move to Verizon or Sprint now that they have the iPhone too.

Internittently can not make calls or send text messages near this location, though phone shows 2-4 bars of H signal strength. Can receive calls and text messages, and can surf web and use other data services without problems. Have called numerous time to TMOBILe to decribe this location specific problem. One month later they are finally escalating problem. Note, switching phone to GSM mode works fine for making calls or sending texts (though data services are unusably slow, of course) Repeated power cycling of phone will not solve problem. Problem is with HSDPA (WCDMA) network only, and only at this location in my experience.

No service at all in the block of Venice / Jasmin. I've been calling since 02 / 07. I am not getting any answer from the lousy service team with T-Mobile. I don't think that they are even working on that problem. They say that the trouble ticket is getting processed but honestly I don't think it is. I really want to get out of my contract but I am not willing to pay the cancellation fee. Please other people out there with the same problem keep calling and complaining. Maybe they will fix the issue!

Neither of my T-Mobile phones have been working in about a 2 mile radius since Sat. Feb 5th. Have called 4 times now and the last time they said the engineer finally admitted there's a problem in the area - but with no ETA on a resolution. I both live and work in the area so the phones are now completely useless. If you are a customer in the area, you need to keep calling. When I was the lone complainant they didn't even look at it as a problem.

I have not had any signal since Monday the 7th at my office and I am losing it! I spoke to T-Mobile about 4 times, was twice in the store and they keep saying that they are looking into it, but nothing happened so far. I know that nobody else at my office (Sprint, Verizon, ATT) has this issue. I am now trying to get out of my contract as they don't seem to be able to resolve this! Very frustrating!

The AT&T worked better when I used a Palm Treo last year. Calls were dropped about 20% of the times in the Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City areas. It was annoying but now it's ridiculous. Coverage has got worse every week since I switched to an iphone in November. Now most calls get dropped with a "call failed" error message on the phone screen. For example, in Culver City now I have 70%-90% dropped calls. AT&T tech support couldn't find a history of calls going back several days which they said happens when coverage is provided by other provider's towers. The other providers take a while to give ATT the data and rarely report dropped calls there isn't a record. ATT towers show dropped calls for customers. The calls go through more reliably with the G2 on instead of the G3 -but what a pain to keep switching it when I want faster data service.

From my experience Verizon is the only carrier that works in my apartment building, AT&T and T mobile both do not get reception in my building. If your looking for coverage in this area Verizon is the way to go.

Consistant 4-5 bars outside in the parking lot at work. Consistent 3-4 bars inside the office. Can make and receive calls inside and outside the office This beats the reception of my Veriizon BlackBerry 8703E in this same situation. Would get dropped calls, constantly changing signal.

0-3 bars outdoors in the parking lot at work and it constantly changes. Will get 2-3 bars then 0 for awhile then 2-3 then 0. I have to wait for 2-3 bars to make a call and then 50 / 50 chance it will drop as I lose all bars. Again this is outdoors Inside the office forget it maybe 2 bars at the most constantly changes between 0-2 bars. Not reliable to place call. I have a backup T-Mobile Motorola RAZR v3 that gets strong 4-5 bars outside the office and strong 3 bars inside the office. I got this phone because I needed a phone that works. I even tried AT&T for a backup phone but in my situation at work only T-Mobile works. I need to rely on a cell phone backup because the office phone system is Cisco IP phones, when our computer systems go down the phones go down.
