dropped calls, no service, scratchy

inside our condo we get no AT&T service. have to go outside to talk on the phone. hope to switch to some other servcie asap.

My phone usually doesn't even ring in my home. Making a call near my Upper Market home is a fool's errand: The call drops every single time. It's necessary to have a land-line in this area because AT&T's service is so unreliable.

Verizon is great in terms of customer service and reception, but their phones kinda suck. The curve is a great little workhorse, but when will Verizon get the iPhone?

Ridiculous! I have to reset my iPhone several times a day because it doesn't detect any cellular signal. I never had this many dropped calls or calls that simply don't go through with Sprint. Granted, I've never complained to AT&T. I say we deluge them with letters. :P

I hate ATT for many reason, but get perfectly decent reception in most areas including the Canadian Rockies on vacation. I get 3-5 bars in my SOMA apartment even in the section that is below ground level. The fact is that the specific phone plays much of the issue, and the iPhone's reception SUCKS! All my friends who have one have issues, but those of us that stuck with older phones have little to no problem anywhere. Of course I did have bad reception around Kanab Utah, but look it up on a map and you'll understand why. No problem in Page, Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Sedona or Phoenix areas.

ATT is a joke. Drops at least three calls every day driving home from work. Fails to make callls, voicemail doesn't show up for hours. Why did I switch from Verizon???

Calls drops a lot, constant buzzing sound in background, VM sometimes not delivered for 24h or more. Have to step outside to get semidecent signal.

All of the sudden, iPhone releases it's MMS software and my AT&T service sucks nearly everywhere in San Francisco, including my house which has always been dependable. Coincidence with the mms option for iPhones-- I have no idea, but AT&T sucks regardless.

Mostly get 0 to 1 bar inside, at any location near Cole Valley, UCSF, Inner Sunset. No bars inside or out at Diamond Heights, Twin Peaks and most of Corona Heights. Customer service at AT&T is a joke, rude and major time suckage. I put off getting the iPhone because AT&T has a monopoly and am glad I didn't renew my contract with them. I have all services with them right now but am switching to Verizon's 3G, TV and internet tomorrow.

No reception in my place, have to go outside to my backyard to get reception! :(

Have had my iPhone since Sept '07. Generally decent service around Union Square, Lake Merritt and other specific areas. Being out for a hike on Mt. Tam, you don't expect service... but living in the Inner Richmond is not exactly remote and I'm lucky to receive a voicemail within the day it was received. My AT and T issues started a few years ago when they wouldn't remove an unused FamilyTalk plan, and then as of two months ago my phone doesn't work anywhere near my house: texts go through (very slowly, if at all) but no calls, voicemails can take up to a day to show up and missed calls happen with the phone just sitting next to me. I love my iPhone but I'm looking for a phone that works -- sounds like Verizon is my new carrier!

AT&T is the WORST in the Bay area... have to give up my iphone for verizon.

I have excellent service with Nextel obviously it will drop calls quite frequently in some areas but other major carriers I've had have the same problem in most areas of the city. I'm not sure if it's 3G iDEN or not but the web sure is fast as hell and teathering for a computer works just fine. Sometimes on a low signal texts will send slow. But with iDEN it uses a data connection to send text messages so web doesn't go very fast without a strong signal so that's to be expected but overall great service. Loving Nextel!

No reception. Since "upgrading" to 3GS I have had more dropped calls throughout the City than I did with the old 3G. Furthermore, reception is often poor.

WHY oh WHY did I sign a 2 year contract with AT&T?? I want to throw this useless device through a window. Why on earth did Apple who are only based an hour away- sign with AT&T when they have the worst service in the city! I don't even get missed calls in my apartment, VM delays 24 hours, dropped calls every single time, and even standing out in the middle of the street I get 2 bars at best. DO NOT SIGN WITH AT&T, I should've stuck with Verizon!

Since the SOMAGrand and first Trinity Apt. Tower went up, AT&T reception has diminished considerably. Both Palm Treo 650 and new iPhone 3GS reception are awful. Am considering a booster for the building. The Clear Voice 800 or jdteck devices. They run about $200 - $300. Anyone have experience with these?

I work on the corner of Mission and 13th and the AT&T reception is horrible! Everyone at my office complains about how their AT&T phone don't work at all in theis building. And outside, I can only get edge at best for data speed!

Ironic that coverage always drops for me at this intersection... there is a Sprint Store across the street. But never fails, reception here sucks.

Signal strength is spotty in my 1st fl apartment and around my building. Out on the street the signal gets decently good, however, the data network (edge) is unreliable. Additionally, both voice and data reception is hit and miss all the way on the inbound on the J train from Upper Noe at least to the Castro.
