Zero signal here inside this apartment building from T-Mobile. Searching for available networks indicates that the phone can "see" the Cingular network but registering with it improves nothing. Leaving the building and walking either north or south a few dozen yards and signal strength returns to respectability. Additionally, we also do not get T-Mobile service near Kentor Canyon Elementary School but coverage is spotty in the hills no matter who your provider tends to be. And to think that I wanted to "Get More" when in fact I am getting less signal than many of T-Mobile's competitors.

Reception has gone from intermittent, garbled, and dropped calls to no reception at all. The on-line map says this location has the best reception.

Reception was fine for 18 months. Now all of a sudden, I can hear callers just fine, but they complain of popss, crackles, and 'cyborg voice' Incredibly frustrating. Service was fine and now 100% degraded.

1 to 2 bars - Back here in the canyon it is pretty shielded from line of sight to any towers.

Spread the good news: The Motorola KRZR K1m on the Verizon network actually works well in the Hollywood Hills / Beachwood Canyon! My LG 6100 rarely works in this area, but a friend's old Motorola does, so I decided to give this brand a try. Verizon tech told me the different materials used in the antennas by various manufacturers effect phone performance. Whatever the reason, this Motorola phone with Verizon works great. Able to make and receive calls every time. And although signal strength is often only one or two bars, reception is always clear and strong on both ends.

No reception inside the house

Only carrier that I am aware of that works. Customer service stinks.

If I can get a call out at all I'm doing cartwheels. I consistantly get dropped calls and that's if I'm lucky enough to even dial out.

ALL carriers are awful in this neighborhood because its close to the airport. The reason they tell you on the plane to switch off your phone isn't because it messes up the navigation system, but because the cellphone carriers ask them too because it messes up the local towers to suddenly be tracking 100 phones searching for a connection at 150mph. Verizon is better than most in this neighborhood but still poor. Get some poor call quality and occasional dropped calls. But previously had AT&T (now Cingular) which was dreadful - could barely use the phone. If anyone has something which works in 90045 PLEASE put a note on here. Thanks.

Pretty much every call gets dropped after a few minutes. Sprint sucks, been living here for more than 2 years and it just gets worse and worse. I can't believe I've actually been paying for service for so long.
