Sacramento and up 99 to Yuba City / Marysville, Sacramento, CA 95815 Thu Sep 23, 2004

I just switched to Virgin Mobile (Sprint towers) after being a loyal AT&T customer for 5 years. AT&T's switchover to GSM and the Cingular buyout has really effected the quality and strength of the phone signal, as well as making for horrible customer service. I have had no problems with the Virgin Mobile phone (it is a CDMA / PCS) and have terrific reception and clarity compared to AT&T. Virgin Mobile's coverage is not as great as AT&T in terms of geography, but they have a clear, clean sound. And for 99% of what I do on a phone, it's perfect.

Sacramento and up 99 to Yuba City / Marysville, Sacramento, CA 95815 Thu Sep 23, 2004

AT&T switched to GSM phones wholesale last year, and since then, and their buyout by Cingular, service has declined dramatically. I can't get a clear signal or connection anywhere. It is so bad that I can actually be standing still at Arden Mall and have the calls drop out on me. I switched phones two times. Same problems. The issue was not resolved with either the Samsung or the LG which I tried. Driving between Yuba City and Sacramento is pathetic. I just gave up trying to use it anywhere and switched yesterday to Virgin Mobile which uses Sprint's network. I have not had a problem with Virgin Mobile's service.

Poor service. Spotty reception during calls. Calls tend to get lost in space and voicemail alert comes anywhere from 15 to 30 mins after being placed. I just purchased a new GSM phone and will update later after I try it.

Normally, I'm very pleased with T-Mobile especially when I'm in the city of Sacramento. But, in my house I'm constantly getting only one or two bars with extremely poor reception. Since this phone is my only source for calls, we're considering switching to AT&T to see if they can provide better service.

Especially poor near 16th & Broadway; can use phone in my Curtis Park home in certain spots in my living room. Otherwise, nothing but dropped calls and no service at all. You'd think you'd get the best signal living in the midtown area.

I had a dual band phone that could switch between TDMA and GSM for two years. At first I used the TDMA almost as often as GSM, but as of late my GSM has been providing excellent service everywhere, even out of town (Auburn, Tahoe). Last month I went with the Siemens sl56 GSM phone. I like all the extra features gsm offers, and I haven't had any issues with bad coverage. ATT GSM coverage is great, almost as good as TDMA. The only difference I notices is that TDMA penetrates buildings better.

I get no reception in any building and unreliable reception with roaming via Cingular. I've tried a T720 and a Nokia 6800 with AT&T and I have been very disappointed with the quality and consistancy of AT&T. I do not recommend AT&T unless you only use your service next to one of their stores since that is the only place you will be guarenteed of getting good reception.
