Service has gone downhill. I wander through my house, phone in hand, searching for a signal. Once upon a time I could call from my car in the underground garage. Then I had to move to just outside the garage. Next it was onto the street in front of the garage. Now it's down the street sometimes, so I drive slowly, searching for a signal.

It's always a surprise when we get a cell call. Most of the time it just doesn't work. If we walk around the house, and often outside, we can pick up reception for a while, before it gets dropped. Would drop the landline if we could; can't.

Well I was looking up ways to check for coverage because I'm looking to cancel my AT&T phone service. I'm very sad to have to do so; I have an iPhone and love it! But I can't use it at home as my calls drop daily.

Just moved here with my iphone 3G (almost at the bottom of El Centro, north of Park), and my iphone is completely worthless. Most of the time I get 1 to 2 bars, but the phone drops every other call, and the rest just sound terrible. It doesn't matter if I have 3G turned on or off.

On major city street cross road between Hwy. 880 and 580 and Alameda Country General Hospital. very poor signal... hope there is never a major emergency. Even what is considered the flatlands of Oakland, there are still Hills and Valleyies that block cell service.

The reception for my 1st generation Iphone used to be great. Now after 8 months of complaining to ATT, 4 out of 5 calls in my neighborhood get dropped regardless of how many bars I have.

3 blocks from an a AT&T store, where I get all bars, I get 2-3 at the most and only 1 bar for my modem card. Where is the tower in this area? Why is reception so bad?

Fortunately I have 2 friends with i-Phones and though I love the phone itself, neither of them can get any reception where I live and I live in a pretty main hub. All other services work fine here, but AT&T's coverage in the Bay overall just plain sucks :( Too bad, I'd sign up and buy an i-Phone out of the gate if it actually worked here!
