I moved matter of 5 blocks to Granada Ave, to find that I get no service at all. Unbelievable! I was forced to buy a freakin magic jack so I can get calls in my home. I want to leave, but need my Iphone. I wish I could just get a few bars atleast. I mean C'mon AT&T!

No major problems anywhere in town except for occasionally in the port area and on the north side of Signal Hill.

he coverage is fantastic, but their customer service is horrible! I was lied to multiple times by different employees and even their supervisor was rude. I am cancelling my contract early.

Call dont come through for hours sometimes even text message will stall out for 3 or 4 hours. In house and out of house!

Is supposed to be strong 3G area but my G1 remains as I do on EDGE most of the time. Talking with Tmob is useless

only two bars but no droped calls, still get good reception.

Started out with good reception for a year with T-Mobile, then all of sudden I went from full bars to no bars. T Mobile offers no explanation other than that it might be my phone. I know this is not the case because my spare phone (samsung) also does not have coverage. Not sure what this could be attributable to, but I signed with T-Mobile expressly because I had rreception in my home and now I don't.

The service with everyone's phone (except Verizon for some reason) that comes to our place is super weak! I can go from 4 bars to no bars in 1 minute. There is no reason and no solution for this. I go outside and it helps a bit... but it's so erratic that I try to just call people from work. I bought a cell phone repeater (300 bucks) to try and solve the problem... i placed the antenna in the attic. It helps a little, but it still is so irregular... I just want a CONSTANT signal strength. Can anyone tell me why the signal comes and goes so frequently here?

TMO has good reception in this residential area. New rooftop cellsite in Naples improved coverage while coming home thru Belmont Shore

My Recipients are always complaining of bad reception on my phone. It is mostly when using Bluetooth or the Speaker Phone functions. Also there are an inordinate amount of dropped calls.

verizon always has great reception in my area, and surrounding areas... pretty much everywhere i've taken it... both coasts, north and south. its awesome, even in hawaii. i just hate the company so much it makes my blood boil. they lock ever feature and give you a crappy one they've designed to make them money instead. their phones are terrible, but the coverage and reception is unparalleled.

Reception goes from 2 bars to no bars through out the neighborhood, with all calls over 2 minutes dropping. Calls frequently go straight to voicemail. T-Mobile insists that this is a "4 bar area" and that there are 4 phone trees in a 2 mile radius, and that they have NO IDEA why there's no service. For the record, I tested my friends' collective cell phone service in my house at a recent dinner party. AT&T and Sprint had 3 bars, Verizon had 4 bars. T-Mobile folk had 1-0. Who is lying to whom? Their suggestion? That I spend $200 bucks on a new "Hotspot at Home" compatible phone and extend my contract two more years piggybacking off of my Verizon wireless DSL modem's signal. Why should I pay twice for the same phone signal?

I had T-Mobile and their bars would always be full but I would be in the middle of a call and all of a sudden it got dropped. Happened with several different phones so it is the T-Mobile network. I switched to Verzion Wireless and have not have a dropped call yet (over a month now). Reception is great and sound is really good. I may pay $15 more a month but at least I get reliable service. I travel through the east side of Long Beach, Signal Hill, and on the freeway to Manhattan Beach and always have good reception. I am very pleased with my switch to Verizon.

No cell service indoors, despite being only 100 yards from the freeway. Minimal and often no service outside. Calls in the area often go straight to voicemail. I have t-Mobile now, but have had Nextel, AT&T and Sprint. None are any better.

I've been happy with Sprint until recently when they merged with Nextel. Signal is fine. Phone is good. Prices okay. But I do not like the web-site and customer service changes since the merger. A new billing system is being phased in. Can you believe that in this age of identity theft, they are asking for pass words and pin numbers over the phone before they will help you? The old system they would ask for last four of Social Security number. I'm very disappointed. Since my contract expires in 7 days, I am checking out Verizon after reading the mostly good comments about them here as opposed to the lousy comments for the other carriers.

We moved into our apartment in March 2006. Our T Mobile reception was great for the first year and then it suddenly turned to crap in March 2007. Both of us had Motorola phones (I believe they were the V180) and began experiencing dropped calls on EVERY call. Incoming calls often went straight to voicemail. Numerous calls to TMobile resulted in them convincing us to upgrade our phones from the free Motorolas. So we did. Stupidly. After reading various reviews, we both bought the Nokia 6133, which meant our contracts were renewed for another 2 hellish years. New phones did nothing to improve our reception. More calls to TMobile resulted in a promise of 'network enhancement' in our area that would take up to 120 days. It's been more than 120 days and our reception is virtually nonexistent. We actually broke down and had Charter Comm install a land line last week so we can communicate with the outside world. I deeply regret leaving Cingular. I will most like pony up the $200 to get out of my TMobile contract and go back to them if my reception doesn't improve in the immediate future. Honestly, I didn't know what a dropped call was until I became a TMobile customer. I hate, loathe and despise TMobile. I would happily join a class action lawsuit if anyone cares to file one.

I get little to no coverage indoors at my home. When I go outside, it still takes several minutes to get a signal. I often have to reboot. This is in spite of having a RAZR V3 that's never been dropped or otherwise mishandled. I'd switch to Verizon but I'm stuck in a contract. Bummer.

T-Mobile works great here. Occasional weak signal during rush hours, but otherwise service has improved in the past year.

I have a business phone Cingular Treo which I only get about one bar and only can make calls sometime in the upstairs bedroom, My Verizon Razor have 5 bars and I can make calls from the basement. I have used all the cell phone carriers in the LA area and travel the highways daily. I can clearly state the Verizon has the best service of any cellular company in Los Angeles. Sprint has good coverage as well since Sprint and Verizon are on the same network and share cell site. The only thing with Sprint is their customer service is not very good and forget about getting them to do something as simple as change rate plans without mayor issues. Verizon voice, data and customer service is the best.

Receprion at home is terrible. Have to go to the back of the house to get signal. Dropped Sprint to get Verizon and neither one is any good. Guess I'll have to stick with the land line!
