At&t has the worst reception in South Fremont by far. My father comes over my house and uses his Nextel without any issues while I barely get reception and when I finally make / receive a call it drops while I'm on the phone. More like less bars in more places...
Cell reception is very poor inside or outside my house. Phone: Motorola V710 Carrier: Verizon Almost every call gets dropped. Except for the call that I made to Verizon to complain. Mysteriously that call sustained for 10 minutes. This is unacceptable in a big city such as Fremont. I will be dropping Verizon service shortly.
overall reception and connection quality while driving around the Fremont, union city and southern east bay area can be spotty and somewhat disappointing. (perhaps its the hills) Reception seems to follow most major interstates throughout the state but can still be spotty in some rural or non populated bay area locations like tracy, mountain house, sunol, brentwood, byron, oakley,black point, etc. If your primary locale consists of the following..it may be an ideal choice because... .best reception seems to be as a pedestrian in major urban hubs like berkeley, downtown oakland, haight ashbury and and most areas in san francisco, palo alto, stanford, NYC, JFK, etc. price wise you cant beat a minimum of 20 something bucks every ninety days to keep the same phone number... ..great choice for city dwellers perhaps, or as a temporary travel phone, but not suggested for use as a primary means of communication.
