I've been repeatedly calling cingular / ATT about poor reception in the San Carlos area for over a year. We live on a mesa, so there are no hillsides blocking (like in a valley) or tall bldgs. Consistently we get from zero to 3 bars, rarely 4, and never 5. Over 90% of the time its nearly impossible to carry out a conversation. We've had to repeatedly use land lines instead. We even upgraded both our phones to current models in an attempt to help the problem (at the suggestion of Cingular), but it did not. Recently I was told they are upgrading tower service in the area, and tried to switch us to something called a "blue" tower network (whatever that means), but that didnt solve the problem. I've gotten better reception (5 bars) in the elevator of my office downtown, and in Yosemite valley, of all places!
I either can't use the phone at all or the call drops every time. It's in the middle of the city, so I am not sure why it won't work on this particular street.
For the past 2 weeks I have not been able to make or receive calls. Ever since the switch to "the new AT&T" I have had nothing but problems. I heard that they increased the Edge network to accomodate the new iphone. I have called every day starting last monday. I was credited $25 for my inconvenience. So far this coverage problem has cost me more than the credit they issued.
Cannot get any decent reception in my house or most of the surrounding area. I live in a newer developed area, but there are a lot of houses and condos that should attract a tower soon. Trying to answer my cell while insde my house is worthless. Didn't own a landline until moved into this area, but due to the service restrictions, had to get one.
