I get perfect reception here, but when I go to Rockaway I get zero.

All along Rockaway Beach ave. poor to no reception for at least the past 4 to 5 years.

Poor reception and often no reception at all. When a call is actually recieved it will often cut out in midsentence.

Reception used to be great, but when the roaming agreement with T-Mobile expired last year, reception became lousy. If I do get a signal in the house, it's very weak. Going outside helps a little, but not a lot. Calls are still garbled. I've called Customer Service twice about this problem. They say it looks like the nearest AT&T tower is 2 miles away. Because of the dramatic shift in service, they're willing to let us out of our contract with no ETF, but we're reluctant to jump ship to another carrier.

AT&T has so many dead spots. Im wondering if its the network or the phone. More bars in more places? lol yea right. I was looking thru the list and I see Sprint has more good comments than any carrier. Just afraid about their customer service. I think reception is more important to me. I will try Sprint.

At& T reception sucks too bad that I have a 2 year contract

Every once in awhile I get good reception, but it is inconsistent. I often have to go outside to get a call. I often get the ringing and will answer, but the other person cannot hear me, or gets every other word. It's tough living in the back of a valley for cell phone users.

a contract to share roaming with another carrier on a cel tower in rockaway expired in Nov. 07. ever since those of us on roberts rd and I believe up rockaway ave have been cut off from receiving any service.

i will hav bars but no network coverage so I still cant make any calls even with full service from my own house! go down th street and it will usually work... i thought AT&T had th strongest signal, sounds like false advertising to me

Poor reception in this area, however once past Skyline East signal improves to good. Coming into this area you may want to finish your call or take the chance of having your call droped.

I got switched to Cingular from AT&T with very disapointing results after a couple of months. Got the siginal and the bars but dont recieve calls and can make calls 50% of the time. Use to just keep trying till I got through but that wont do you any good with cingular. I have had cells phones for 10 years. I am a contractor in SF and surrounding area. I need a new phone company regardless of the cost of broken contracts. Was thinking of Nextel

Cell phone reception on Cingular around Pacifica seems to be pretty good. We ocassionally will lose reception going up / down parts of Sharp Park Rd. (only in one specific area, just below the house that sits above Sharp Park Rd.), and going up / down Highway 1 right below the 35 / 1 Interchange (on the downhill side coming into Pacifica). I can't tell if the loss of signal in those areas is due to weather or other factors. Reception will be lost if you go all the way up Oddstad Rd. towards the horse ranch, though.

It's ok. I had the same reception with the Nokia 3395.
