There's an old AT&T tower on the NE corner of this intersecrion, now a Cingular tower. I can see this tower from my home and I get near perfect reception inside and outside the house. Overall I'm happy with Cingular in the Long Beach area, but I wish I had a different phone. All my problems can be attributed to the phone.
On average poor to below average. I say that reversed because most of the time I'm at poor. May have something to do with the airport being two blocks away.
The only time I got reception in the grocery store was when standing next to the meat aisle. There is poor reception in the plaza outdoors. Very shoddy service in this area... I often leave a store and receive several voicemails from people trying to reach me.
This phone combined with this carrier are awful. Every call I make is dropped. Yes, EVERY call, everywhere. I know someone who has a different phone with Cingular and they don't experience the same problems I do. Perhaps buying a $200+ phone would solve these problems.
Good reception here. Wish there was a wider area of reception for T-Mobile. My son is in the mountains right now and those with Cingular and Verizon get reception while he does not. Still, I'm happy with T-Mobile overall.
Like other reviewers, I would sat that reception in the Long Beach, Signal Hill area is terrible. Service with ATT was o.k. but Cinguar is a waste of money. A million free rollover minutes won't do you any good in this area. My Nokia (I've had 2and a Motorola) is a paperweight. Good thing the Nokia is supplied by work. (No one can ever reach me!) My personal carrier is Verizon (LG VX600). It isn't perfect, but I pay for this one and I'll stick with them.
