Never have reception problems or drops here, despite variable signal levels. Have been using Verizon in SF for nearly a decade, with a handful of phones, and quality has always been very good. Only dead areas for voice I have found are Midtown Terrace near Sutro Tower, and some low-lying parts of the Presidio. Using phone's wifi hotspot sometimes produces drops, no matter the location.

Coverage at my house with Verizon has always been satisfactory. My wife, on the other hand, has an iPhone with AT&T for which there is little to no reception in our house.

All other services work in my building - Only Iphone users have trouble - can't receive or send.

My HTC HD2 is working great inside my office and have full bars. So please with it.

Very bad reception all around the city.

messages come in late if at all and are not infrequently undelivered when sent. major lagtime on both.

verizon gets an A+ I get service everywhere including many places where others have none. true here in SF, in remote parts of Cali and NV and Alaska.

ok

I fled AT&T and was happy with Verizon (3G and phone) up until about 2 months ago. Now I go from 3G to 1x to no data and phone signals often are at 1-2 bars and lately, NO bars. The other night, I had no bars, no 3G / no data. Streaming is now impossible on my phone and, worse yet, my phone calls are breaking up and sometimes I miss incoming calls.

I've been with VZW for years and the reception has always pleasant at out sunset area until about a year ago. I'm not sure what is going on but my calls get dropped like 50% of the time when I'm in the basement and I often gets 0 or only 1 bar on the phone. I'm using both HTC incredible and a LG phone and same thing happens to both phones.

Terrible AT&T service. Have had a long battle with AT&T over the service here. Essentially on the Shrader block between Hayes and Fell there is little serive on the north end of the street. In my home we have maybe 1 bar. Calls can make it in about 1 / 4 of the time, and maybe some texts. We have tried 5 kinds of phones, iPhone, feature phones, Windows phones, Androids, all have the same issues. This is not a hardware issue, its a service issue. I got 2 microCells and they only marginally helped. After much escalation and a BBB complaint, they finally agreed to terminate my contract sans ETF since there is nothing they can do to fix the issue.

Things were okay until AT&T started replacing almost all of their Edge towers with 3G towers. My phone is too old to use with 3G. Additionally, just about everyone I know on AT&T has HORRIBLE reception near the ballpark and in SOMA.

Started on June 6th 2011, this has never been an issue. Did AT&T take over T-Mobile towers and eliminate some?

Reception has been bad within the last week. down 1-2 bars, no service in some rooms of my apt. (Laurel Village). What gives?

It's been really poor reception for the past week. Call quality was never like this until recently. Getting ready to throw my phone out the window. Anyone else having this problem?

Zero

We had to BUY an AT&T "Micro-Cell". With that, my wife can get calls, but if she moves to the back of the house, they are dropped. >_<

Last several month, reception on this area went very bad. 4 out of 5 calls over 5 minutes talk, calls drop in the middle. What's worse is even with 2 bars up, phone doesn't ring and voice msg pops up hours later. I'm missing a lot of in-comming call without me knowing at all. Calling out is just like waiting at deli counter holding the number ticket. After pushing call button, you have to wait 20-30 sec. then finally it starts ringing or sometimes, "Call Failed" shows up. Once customer service said that a lot of people are using cell phone around me so lines are congested, but AT&T will KINDLY credit for that call (and I guess I should thank for such a kindly response ?) Hell I don't need your few cents back. I'm paying $100 every month for my phone because I need to Communicate RIGHT NOW otherwise I will send a post card.

Just moved in to a new place at the top of 18th Street, and, of course, I have no AT&T cell coverage in my own home. It's absurd! I'll pay the costs to switch to Verizon and hope for the best.

Signal is okay, and I am not dropping any calls. I never fully lose signal, but frequently I am only at 2 or 3 bars, and my data connection drops to EDGE. If I want decent data downstairs at home, I need to rely on WiFi. Fortunately, T-Mobile doesn't nerf their phones' WiFi capabilities, and allows WiFi calling on Androids, so I know I'll always be okay. But reception was much better than this in Colorado.
