Most often, there is no voice coverage in the house at all with slightly better reception out on the driveway. The neighbors can be seen standing on driveways to talk. Event then, the quality of the voice signal is so poor that we have difficulty hearing or understanding the speech. Also, many dropped calls and occassionally messages that come through as much as 24 hours later! Out on highway one it is better, but the call ALWAYS drops on Devil's Slide. We would switch carriers, but haven't found one that seems better.

Often there are no bars in or out of the house, but reception is better outside. I have never seen more than two VERY short bars in this area (Frenchman's Creek, adjacent to the fields of Nurseryman's Exchange), and I find those only by waving the phone in a figure-8 motion. Most calls longer than a minute are dropped repeatedly. My misery is compounded by AT&T's pathetically smug, incompetent, and occasionally rude customer service that keeps people like me jumping through phantom hoops trying to remember which bank refinanced my wife's home in 1979, two years before I met her--a service that also demands, repeatedly, that I produce her death certificate before they set up a family plan that requires corrections at least twice a month. I love my iPhone; I hate AT&T. The reception here rates not a D- but an F+.

Reception was a problem inside the house a few years ago. Now it's great! 8 / 4 / 2009

Excellent reception in downtown Half Moon Bay, but no reception at all south of Ocean Colony. No reception areas include Ocean Corner, Canada Cove, the old and new courses of the Half Moon Bay Golf Links, and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Resort.

Sprint has nearly no service in Half Moon Bay, El Granada, Moss Beach or the rest of the San Mateo Coast. Their Customer "Service" will gladly tell you they do have service in this area. However, I had dozens of dropped calls in two weeks, no data service, and no voicemail until I left and went to 280 or San Francisco. If you challenge Sprint, they'll say there is something wrong with your phone and won't allow for contract termination without a penalty. Highly disreputable telecom provider.

In the down town area on Main St.I can connect but the signal level leaves a lot to be desired.

Within the community of 1000 homes or so reception is available in 50% of the homes. But, where it works it works well, it's an all or nothing thing. The community is not flat at all and line of site to the tower is most likely the deciding factor.

Outside of house the reception is good. Inside the reception varies considerably as the phone is moved but completely usable.
