Verizon is best by far in LA and Marina T-Mobile isnt bad either ATT is by far worst cell company wouldnt buy them unless u want to use your phone as a clock and calculator, My Verizon works perfect inside and out of Marina Harbor Apartments, I drive for living only dead zones I know in LA are Sepulvada tunnel skirball ctr drive and no service in Palisades Highlands (because they wont let T-Mobile Sprint or Verizon build towers here}.

dont waste your time on a Iphone unless you want to try and be like every one else and have the coolest electronic pocket device that cant do anything but maybe use a clock or calculator att is a horrible network there phones drop everywhere you go, on Verizon I can drive 50 plus miles on a conferrance call and almost never drop a call once get a droid its faster and best of all it you can make and receive calls on it good luck

Verizon works perfectly here (I'm toward the end of Bora Bora). Never dropped a call. My neighbor has T-Mobile and has to walk out on their deck to make a call.

Great reception! Sprint has really great reception on the Westside.

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.

Very good recept. from Nextel in Marina del Rey area, particularly in the peninsula area.

Pretty fantastic on the westside except two drop out spots - one by Santa Monica airport and one on Sepulveda by Loyola Marymount

Can make call 95% of time, inside and out - which is why I said "average" Data is usually quite fast, and email push is almost instant - as in seconds only.

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.

Poor reception in doors. Get bars only 60% of time. Dropped calls. No ring messages delivered hours late. Most cell phone companies stop building cell towers as you get towards the ocean, that is why we all have such crappy service: There are no towers covering our "other side."
