Frequent break-up and drops. I hear AT&T is slightly better in area. Will give it a try.

I get good reception in part of the house. As for Greenhaven's lack of a cell tower, supposedly they're building one or have built one on Riverside, using the Palm tree look. Not sure when it goes live, but I'm hoping it will help.

This is the average number of bars I'm getting. I get about 1-2 bars in a building (counting on that my phone has only 4 bars, not five.) I get about 2-3 bars outside.

The Sacramento City Council will not allow new towers and I have to walk outside my house to use my phone. The calls are constantly being dropped but from now on when my calls get dropped I will scream 'I hate Heather Fargo (the mayor)!'. Everyone should scream that when they are outside their homes and trying to get cell phone reception. If the Pocket / Greenhaven area does not get an antenna by November then the residents should vote her out.

Cell phone service is bad for AT&T as well as for NEXTEL. I complained to AT&T and was told that the Greenhaven / Pocket area has no cell phone tower. According to AT&T the Sacramento City Council will not allow any new towers to be built. I have to walk out of my house or stay very still to get reception. Heather Fargo and company can all look for new jobs next election! That goes for the basketball candidate as well!

Plenty of bars at my place. Completely useless at girlfriends place on Vallejo (over by Riverside and Broadway by the graveyard). My phone shuts off all the time so every call needs to be made twice. T-Mobile told me to piss up a rope when I called to complain. Switching providers.

One bar in my house, maybe 2 outside. Work on the other side of Watt on Folsom is no bars inside and 1 or 2 outside. Riverside Blvd.near Broadway is no bars. I'm changing services.

NO reception at all, none in my house, one of the worst carrier in the area, along with T-mobile, which gives 0 bars also.

Very good reception, though Verizon is expensive and have a poor selection of phones

I don't think I've ever completed a call from my house, my calls always drop. It's a joke. I'm from SLC, UT and have been with T-Mobile for 5 years and they were great there, but are terrible, TERRBILE here. I had them in San Diego as well and that was pretty bad (though I hear in San Diego all services are garbage)

Horrible reception here. phone is impossible to use 95% of the time in this area

Very poor service inside our house. But it's not limited to the phone or the service... everyone I know can't receive or make calls from in my house, no matter what service or phone model they have. We live in a populated area, I would think there would be enough towers close by.

my cell phone got no reception, it frustrating

In the 900 block of Rio Robles near Rio Linda, CA. This is a new subdivision and Rio Robles might not be on any maps at present. Reception was unuseable inside or outside.

Usuall 4 or 5 bars, occasionally 3. I am very happy with Cingular. I switched over from Verizon a year ago, because in the prioryear I had alot of trouble with disconnected calls when in this neighborhood. Both companies have good phone support, but IMHO Cingular has better service overall - both with phone usage and with support.

It's somewhat erratic. Occasionally I get one or two bars, but much of the time there is no reception. At my office, ten blocks up Broadway, it's only a little better. I'm looking for a new provider.

In our apartment complex we have barely any reception whatsoever. Every once in a while a call will come through, but if I take it call it either drops the call or I can only hear one of ever three or so words. Both me and my gal have RAZRs, and I have tried a Samsung phone as well, but to no avail. It's terrible.

One bar at home. Drop calls all the time, if I even get them. Half a mile in any direction... 3 bars or more. Typical routine is to drive away from my house and find that I have 3 voicemails. Even in three bar zones, I've been told that every fourth word is cut out. Don't get Cingular service around here! I complained about service and they told me that they don't gurantee "conectivity".

Ok reception on campus, but at home upstairs, the reception is bad and I get dropped calls frequently.

Varies widely between great reception and poor. I'll be talking with no problems and fine reception and then I'll lose all bars. Frustrating!
