In the Mariner's Village complex in Marina del Rey there is virtually NO cell reception with AT&T. I have to leave the complex to make or recieve a call. I called to ask what could be done due to this unacceptable service and they said that there will be several more towers added to the area sometime in early 2012. I recommend using a land line or another mobile carrier for convenience and safety. It's not ok to not be able to communicate with emergency responders when calling 911.

No reception since 4pm. when i've gotten a connection, it drops calls. text is working, but no voice. this sucks! their website is no help at all. extremely poor customer service!

3 and 4 most of the time - on occasion a 5. I have done field tests too and it seems fairly consistent. The fact is that all cell phones with all carriers will drop calls. Even with a tower next door or on your roof, calls will be dropped.

About 4 months ago my iphone 3G started dropping calls at my place in the Dolphin Marina. I'm with ATT. It has gotten steadily worse. I'll have to try 8-10 times to get a call out and then it drops. For one recent call it took 7 attempts and 5 drops to finally finish. Another call, I gave up after 8 drops and asked my neighbor to use his land line. It works better once I leave Panay Way but still have many dropped calls in the Marina. It works fine in other states but this is where I live and it's terrible. I've complained and they say they are putting up nine new towers by the end of March but I am so frustrated! Does anyone have good cell service in the Marina - what company????

Worst service possible. Zero reception. My roommates with Verizon have perfect call quality sitting next to me- while I can't place / receive calls on ATT's network.

At&T service continues to get worse all over LA, but especially here at home. Even 1 year ago it was better. Now I usually have to step outside to balcony to have a clear call since apparently my walls must be lined with lead. I'll commonly see 5 bars, and yet calls will just drop, bars will drop to 2-no service, and then will pop back up to 5. It's ridiculous at this point. Not to be rude, but I don't live way out on a farm in Idaho, I live in one of the largest cell phone using places in the world so how is it getting worse. I understand that there is a lot of traffic on the cells, but AT&T is becoming close to unusable. Problem is, I've had Sprint and Verizon in the past, and they had problems or I would have stayed with them, but both sound better now.

Phone says 2 bars, but reception is really choppy. Lots of dropped calls. Sometimes text messages can't even get through. There's a small area in my apartment where it's good enough to have a conversation. I'm on the top floor of an apartment complex. My roommate has T-Mobile and doesn't have any problems.

Fewer Bars in More Places. Got the iPhone for its capabilities, didn't realize how the capabilities are limited by the poor to non-existent reception in the Marina and so many other places in Los Angeles. AT&T should stop talking about the world's fastest 3G Network. Who cares how fast it is when you cannot access it? Terrible Reception. Got locked out of my apartment building last night, and it took me 15 minutes to get a signal to call my wife to let me in!

I can backup the other posts from Mariners Village Apartments that there is no AT&T signal on the property. I get 1 bar in my apartment when I am inside the unit, 1 bar, rarely 2 when I am on my patio. 1 block north on Via Dolce is a dead zone. If you drive 1 mile north to Washington Blvd.I get full reception. Friends with Verizon who come over to have similar problems.

I barely get reception inside, I ALWAYS drop calls when pulling in to the driveway, and throughout most of the town I will randomly drop calls. AT&T on the west side in general is mediocre, but it's particularly bad in Venice and Marina del Rey.

HORRIBLE! I got out of my AT&T contract because of this; they realized there was very little coverage here and waived the early termination fee.

Erratic # of bars on interior. Crackling and choppy service irrespective of # of bars. Same with 3 phones on Cingular network. Advise alternate carrier at this location. Frequent drops in 1 mile radius of Marina del Rey.

Inside my apartment there is no signal, I have to go out on my deck to barely get reception.
