Good reception outside of my house on deck. On the street calls are mostly lost, phone doesn't ring 90% of the time. I've tried Cingular, Verizon, and AT&T, none work very well.

I have a Nokia hand phone bought in Asia, so the GSM band is 900 / 1800 / 1900. With AT&T and Cingular sharing the same network now, I get reception almost everywhere. Very few dropped calls. It must be because of the upcoming merger. We will see if it stays that way.

Driving to Oakland Coliseum from 580 on Edwards Ave., and lost all reception until Edwards & McArthur Blvd.

AT&T is the worst coverage you've ever seen. And, confirming the other people who have posted here, the wireless radio in my my palm phone constantly turns itself off as the network struggles to connect. I would not recommend AT&T to anyone. If you must have GSM, I think T-Mobile is the least bad option for the Bay Area.

Horrible reception at home and in the area. Reception varies from no bars to two bars. It sometimes have to hold phone near window or hold it up in air. Calls frequently dropped. I would not recommend them.

Reception is average at most time and calls are very clear. But loses reception alot while driving around.

I bring my cellphone in class and when i go outside on campus i still get no reception. I just don't get it, there are no electrical wires to make difficulty but only clear skies. NO reception, talk about rollover might as well give us free minutes because i always have to call people back. Verizon is even better inside buildings. My dead zones are classrooms!

Great Reception all over Piedmont, occasional cut out but majority of the time reception is great. Satisfied.

Hasn't worked here for five years.

I've had three cell phones from AT&T both on the GSM and TDMA and AT&T has to have the worse service imaginable. No matter where I am reception is horrible.

ATT GSM quality is really not worth the frustration!! If you are planning to sign up, please cross ATT off of you list of choices.

AT&T has very poor reception in my neighborhood, so I just switched to T-mobile and reception is almost perfect. BTW, LNP took only 9 hours 12/22/03

No problems here in piedmont ave neighborhood of Oakland, the Cingular / Treo even works well in my basement. Never had a dropout (then again, there is a Cingular store at the end of my street - maybe they have some sort of tower / booster there?)

terrible reception. this is a busy neighberhood shopping district with 4 major banks and grocery stores. reception is absolutely terrible
