Its spotty in the Palisades Highlands, and no reception in my home. No Verizon either, but AT&T works great here,

cell phone reception EXCELLENT thoughout pacific palisades. reception drops off on PCH for about 1 / 4 mile, only dead spot i've found in a 10 mile radius. 3g speeds are acceptable but not impressive. recommended.

The Attorney General of the State of California ought to prosecute AT&T for fraud, the reception on the iPhone is so poor. My phone constantly drops calls when I'm at home, when I'm out walking, when I'm in the car.... I can cross the living room toward the kitchen, and the call drops. Or I can simply sit on my couch and the call drops, anyway. An old friend calls to tell me her father just died, and the call is dropped five times in the course of the conversation. My phone always loses its signal when I pull into my own driveway. There's also a dead zone just in front of the apartment. But my iPhone drops calls all over Los Angeles. It would be ridiculous to suggest this occurs just in Pacific Palisades. Often, when I wish to access my messages, I can't even hear them; the signal vanishes. Or I wish to place a call--and forget it. A woman purchases a cell phone to be safe in an emergency, but forget it. My battery died in the South Bay, and the phone didn't work there, either. I had to flag down a passing stranger--good thing he was kind and benevolent. This forum makes it evident that AT&T (and Apple, by extension) knows full well that the service for which we are charged does NOT work. They should have to pay damages for their fraudulent business practices, and if Apple valued their reputation, they would sue AT&T. If they don't open the phone to other services, I'm going back to my Verizon cell phone. Much as I dislike Verizon as an entity, my old cell phone never dropped the signal. It's not that I don't get a strong signal when I'm connected; it's that the phone fails to find the signal, or disconnects when a call is in progress. We ought to take these complaints beyond this forum to the state attorney general and demand action.

Receptions goes from 3 to 0 and I loose my calls all the time

Used to get reception at home. Have not had any CIngular reception from home in one month.

Cingular has definately got the best bang for the buck. The plans with rollover and also the clarity of the call which only AT&T GSM and T-Mobile, which uses Cingulars cell sites here in LA can rival. Verizon will get the best reception, because you are on Analog half the time and you don't even know it and the call quality sucks. Cingular is in the process of buying out AT&T wireless so all their sites will be conveted to Cingular, T-Mobile will also benefit.

Inside you get nothing and only one or 2 playces have any reception usually 0 bars but once in a while you find randomly placed 3 foot square areas (no joke that is how small they are) areas that have perfect reception move 1 feet and your bar is back down to 0
