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

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