I been with Metro over a year and never have a problem so far no drop calls, good reception and a excellent nav. on the road.

I have the iPhone 4G and have had all the other iPhones and some Sony phones. I have never gotten good reception on any of them in Studio City, where I live. Likewise, service is equally poor in all of Burbank, CA. At home, I now use Skype. It works but it really isn't right that AT&T service is so bad especially in an area with such a large population density.

My iPhone 3Gs drops calls repeatedly in my apartment.

Verizon is great here

Gotta love Sprint. They are the only ones who have coverage all the way in Coldwater and Laurel canyon.

No EV-DO. I've had this phone for 16 months. Since January '09 my V-Cast won't work, Verizon cannot tell me why. There's a work order now for my acct / phone number. Another customer before me in the Verizon store was having problems making calls, he also lived near here. Something seems to have changed recently within the network. I can force my phone into EVDO only with the hidden menu (tools and settings / # / 000000) but cannot get calls then. It reminds me of the lack of Sprint signal in the area years ago, I think EVDO is on the PCS band also, but never had a problem before now, even with my prioe SCH-a950. Note, we have a BB Storm in the house, it works great. Maybe it's time for a new phone? :)

Although I live in California, I travel to Puerto Rico, regularly. In Southern and Northern California, there are pockets, where reception is affected however, it has lasted seconds. Sometimes, not enough to get a drop call. Currently, I am on my 3rd month, more or less, with no dropped calls. In Puerto Rico, I travel all over and it pretty much, follows, the same pattern, it does in California. A quick tip: Unless we read about it, we do not know, when towers are put up, lets say, nation wide. Remove your battery, every couple of days so, your phone can pick up on any updates(New towers). Usually, people keep their phones on. I have had, very good experience, with Sanyo, on Sprint PCS.

Dropped web pages. Very, very slow or no connect at all. In other words, the service stinks!

I have lived in my apt. for 3+ years with NO issues on Cingular and the now AT&T until just recently (last month or so).. Now I drop 70-80% of my calls while within my apartment. VERY FRUSTRATING.

Converted to a Sprint CDMA phone from a Nextel iDEN phone due to my Nextel contract ending and since have been getting perfect coverage; never a dropped call.

I lived 1 mile away and got fine reception with cingular. I moved 1 mile right when AT&T took over and now I have 1 bar if I am lucky, anywhere in my apt complex.

During last 2 years we've had poor coverage and dropped calls in zip codes 91606 (NoHo) and 91505 (Burbank). We may try newer phones but are equally inclined to abandon AT&T / Cingular.

Two out of four bars showing, never a problem.

I started way back when they had the brick phones and LA Cellular and you were lucky to have any kind of reception. I've tried all the major players and this is my conclusion. Overall, Motorola has developed, in my opinion, the best technology and durability in regards to the phones themselves. Because of my work I bought the i580 when it first came out since my last phone fell from 20 feet up and pretty much disintigrated. Short of running this i580 over with my truck, I'm very happy with its ability to survive the beating I've given it. Best investment I ever made. I had Nextel for many years, tried to find someone to beat them but ended up coming back to them now for the last 3 years. Every provider will have their dead spots, poor reception or drop calls, it can't be avoided. Being that I work indoors, outdoors and sometimes remote locations I had to find a descent provider. I have to admit, I was nervous when Sprint bought out Nextel, but so far service is, in a worse case scenario the same if not a little better. I also get a 25% discount on my service as well as any accessories because I work in the entertainment industry. Check for discounts, they do make a difference. You can check their website and see if the company you work for qualifies for any type of discount. I live in a huge complex and Nextel / Sprint is the only provider I get clear reception from. I've had friends with other providers and their reception has always been weaker or doesn't work at all. I have no affiliation with Nextel / Sprint, I just think their doing a great job with adding new technology with their phones and towers. I would say before switching, find a friend who has one, get their opinion, see if you can use their phone at your place or areas you have trouble with your current provider and see what happens. Cell phone technology isn't perfect, but for me, Nextel / Sprint has come closest to what I expect for the money I'm being charged. Free unlimited incoming calls and free unlimited PTT, (something huge in my business) doesn't hurt either. =) I don't think you'll ever find a "5", but, I gave them a "5" rating because they've beat everyone else out on performance, so far. You pay a little more for them, but if I can stay connected 95% of the time I'm using my phone, its worth it. Just my 2 cents. I hope this helps others out.

I can get reception in the cul-de-sac, but take the phone in the house no reception what so ever.

The elementary school on Tiara has very spotty coverage. Some areas outside have decent coverage, but move a few feet and the signal disappears. Inside the buildings there is no real signal. The bars can move from 3-1-0-2 and then drop in seconds time. I'm disappointed. I've been with AT&T and now Cingular for about 5 years. I'm not sure why they don't have a good signal for this area.

Very satisfied with my service. I've been with all the popular wireless services there are requiring a contract in my area. Hopped from Cingular to AT&T Wireless to Verizon Wireless to T-Mobile and now I'm with Sprint Nextel. Never a dropped call. Loving the free incoming and unlimited walkie talkie.

I've been with Verizon Wireless for over 2 years now, and get great reception everywhere pretty much, except for remote areas in the hills. Service is much better than AT&T Wireless, which I had before Verizon.

It might be because there are alot of trees, but I get poor reception indoors and even outside in my back yard. :(

T-mobil has terrible reception throughout Studio City. Does aybody have good reception.
