Sprint... Its no good. I get a bar if I am lucky in my place... out side a bar maybe two. Also, during a conversation at home, a call drops usually more than once... I hate that>>>!<<< Well, it is to be expected... all throughout the city Sprint drops calls... like about two a day... unacceptable. Ever look at these companies profit margins... they make a lot of money, with infrastructure costs to boot,... they need to stop being so cheap and get some decent reception in the Echo Park area... we are paying customers... well, not for long with Sprint... Bye-Bye... You Lose>>>!<<<

Horrible in and around the Cheviot Hills area. Bad in many spots on the west side.

Horrible Reception at 1055 Wilshire Blvd. Drops calls all the time. Sprint needs to do something about either the reception, or stop selling Motorola Razors.

Can barely get any signal, it sucks.

I am dying to get the new iPhone, but only Sprint works in my area without dropping calls. Will Cingular get enough new tower up in Hollywood before the Summer of '07 release date? We shall see...

Cingular works well up here. The only carrier that works in the house. People with other carriers walk up and down the street looking for a signal.

Verizon Wireless as usual sucks. Horrible Reception. Dropped calls all day. Have several phones on the account so it's not just one phone and they can't keep a signal if they tried. Works sometimes in one room of the house and no service in the next. They of course claim everything is fine. Verizon also can't keep a bill straight if they tried. They overbill, refuse to fix things and suck money endlessly. Their "Worry Free Guarantee" also is a bunch of bul&** too. Customer Service is also a joke with rude reps. Verizon also doesn't offer ONE SINGLE feature that other companies offer. Who cares about "IN" Calling when it's only to their network? No reasonable nights and weekends, no free incoming, no favorite 5 or 10 friends. Zero, Zip. Nextel and Sprint giving you free incoming or free incoming and outgoing to EVERYBODY and ALL phone numbers if you choose the right plan. Go with the Sprint or Nextel Unlimited calling plans for the same price that Verizon charges for a low amount of minutes. Can't go wrong. Great service with Sprint / Nextel. Even Cingular is better then Verizon. It's worth paying the termination fees to stop dealing with a company that's not even competitive.

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.

I see a review from 2003 talking about this being an "iffy" area for T-Mobile. Nothing's changed in over 3 years. Still an erratic, crapshoot, dropped call block. Inside the Wilshire Gallaria condos, T-Mobile is basically dead. There are tiny pockets of good reception, but you have to hunt around a lot. Maybe the condos are lined with anti-cellphone transmission coating. The further you get away from this block, the better the reception gets.

miserable to zero reception and tons of garbled an dropped calls... .looking to get new carrier

Drops calls every few minutes. With another phone is a little better, goes from 0-1 bars to 1-2. I noticed that if you don't hold the phone to ear it's better.
