Signal strength continues to degrade over the last 18 months since I purchased the iPhone. About a year ago, I started with frequent drop calls; but now I cannot even get a signal to call out. The data plan is worse because I constantly get one bar or no bar (and the 3G logo seldom lights up). I guess it doesn't matter that I got an unlimited data plan. My next upgrade will definitely not with AT&T (and will sell all my "T" stocks soon). Whether it will be an iPhone, I may not sure.

Cell phone registers 4 bars of reception and has great sound quality. Recently changed from Verizon, which had horrible reception: crackly sound quality, calls constantly dropped. Loved Verizon in Northern California, but absolutely hate it here. Boyfriend has TMobile (Blackberry) and he has decent reception comparable to ATT.

Boyfriend has TMobile and cell phone registers 3 bars of reception. Connects well but sound quality is not very impressive. I used to have Verizon in Northern California, but absolutely hate it here. Bad sound quality, calls dropped constantly. Recently switched to ATT (iPhone) and have better reception, no dropped calls.

Cell phone registers 3 bars of reception but good luck connecting or staying connected. Reception is horrible, crackly sound quality, calls are constantly dropped. Loved Verizon in Northern California, but absolutely hate it here in Southern California. Recently switched to ATT (iPhone) and have better reception, no dropped calls. Boyfriend has TMobile (Blackberry) and he has decent reception comparable to ATT.

My phone or my husband's or even friends visiting gets SOS / 0 signal. I hate ATT. Signal sucks inside my house. I have to go out towards Huntington to get at least 1 bar for signal. Friends who have Verizon seems to have no problem getting or making calls inside my house. Can't wait to end contract with ATT. Plan to switch to verizon.

Average 1 to 3 but rarely dropped at home - not so good at the supermarket

We are going to switch carriers. AT&T / Cingular is horrible here. When you can't use your cell phone at home, it's really frustrating. Our next door neighbors just got Verizon and have no trouble at all, so we'll probably switch to Verizon.

Good coverage in and around Duarte

Verizon gets good reception but seems to go dead in Bradbury!

Terrible reception here! Very frustrating!

for everyone that has Cingular and thinks it sucks, think again... . if you got your phone before summer 05', than it makes since, but go upgrade your sim card to the new 64k 3G sim card and you WILL NOT have any problems.

The V710 is one powerful phone! Better service than Cingular and Nextel here (both of those are 3-4 bars).
