I live in Mission Valley, I am work in La Jolla, I go Downtown often, and visit family and friends in La Mesa, El Cajon, P.B., SDSU area, Rancho Bernardo, Escondido, Torrey Highlands, Chula Vista, North Park, etc. and I don't have any issues. I was considering switching to AT&T just for the iPhone, but I notice than anytime I have a friend with bad service, they usually have AT&T. So I am staying put. Been with them since Airtouch, any drop zones, and there were very few, have been resolved, as far as I can tell. Yeah AT&T and T-Mobile have Sim Cards, but Verizon has Backup Assistant, which over the air, automatically backs up your contacts daily to their webserver, so no matter what, you always have it. Even if you lose your phone, which, if you had a Sim Card in it, you would also lose. Very happy with Verizon. 5 / 5

The epitome of dropped calls, "can you hear me nows", and "I will call you back from my home phone". The only plus to the situation is I am not the one talking of my cell phone driving like a knucklehead, only because I can't! Wretched service in So. Cal! I kept the service when I moved down from Nor. Cal because it was ok up there. What a learning lesson! What worked in one situation doesn't always work in others. I have heard it was my phone from some people, others swear it is the service provider. I have a sony ericsson. Even testing can be a problem because of the delay in transfer due to a "no network" statement on my phone. Good thing I pay for unlimited texting! YUCK!

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.

Reception is fine outside the house. But about 1 foot in the house basically Zero reception. Must keep phone right by window to get reception.

Sprint is crap in this area. No reception inside buildings.

Failed calls with Cingular all over neighborhood. This area needs 3 or 4 band phones.

Sporadic connection between 1 bar and no-service. Total dead spot here. Mira Mesa Blvd.and Camino Santa Fe is a 5 bars perfect and 3G is active.

Reception has been getting worse and worse over the last 3-4 months. I called last week and found out from an ATT rep on the phone that 3 cell sites near Mira Mesa Blvd.were "degraded" and that technicians had been dispatched but nothing had been fixed yet. But "not to worry" they were getting 4 new cell sites up in late December! Really BAD reception with MANY dropped calls and forget about texting! I cannot place calls from my office or my home now or most of the way inbetween. Verizon is SURE looking good!

I've always had great reception from Sprint. I don't have any problems making or receiving calls from the office, my house, or even in elevators. Text messages occasionally don't send or get delayed, but I am getting messages almost constantly so I'll see problems more than most people would. The only time I regularly have problems is when I drive under one of the overpasses on 56 east close to I-15 (I forget which one). Drops every single time!

Used to be good, but recently it is poor to no reception on or East of N Torrey Pines Rd.
