Haight / Octavia intersection, San Francisco, CA 94102 Fri Oct 05, 2007

All over the place. I can be sitting at my desk (ground floor in front of unobstructed window) and watch the bars jump from 5 to 3 to No Service. I've noticed more and more dropped calls on this phone (never had this problem until about 3 months ago) throughout central San Francisco. When calling back, I now start the conversation with "Fewest dropped calls, my a**!"

1st floor inside wood frame building - poor reception - static when calls connect, dropped calls are common. May occaisonially (rarely) get 2 to 3 bars that go up and down even when not moving...

Very strange--on the 12th floor, I get full-scale or nearly full-scale reception, but there's a lot of interference, and sometimes there's no sound at all. No dropped calls, but it's very hard to use.

I have been hearing nightmares about other carriers. I have had Srpint for 5 years. I have ugraded my phone on every contract renewal date. Hate to say this in front of those having problems, but I have never, repeat never had a dropped call in 5 years. Reception is always available regardless of my location. Sprint has been and continues to be a great experience. Good luck.

Signed up for AT&T with a spiffy LG Shine, had awesome service the first day, then I could hardly make any calls anywhere in the Mission. Guy at Best Buy said it was the phone, it wasnt, tried a Sony Erickson580 and had the same terrible reception. Im going back to Verizon.

OOPS: in error and in my frustration from dealing with ATT, I accidentally listed my first post as Alltel, which is incorrect. I have ATT. The WORST SERVICE EVER. I have spotty coverage, the phone switches between 3G, Edge and G and I constantly drop calls... inside and even outside! I can walk 2 blocks up to Market and get a perfect 3G signal, and walk 2 blocks to Valencia and get a perfect Edge signal (even though the service is still spotty-at least it is consistent). However, in Dolores Mission... weak coverage. Per ATT Tech support, it is a weak coverage area and they plan to build a tower at 16th and Guerrero... but no idea when. My roommate has Sprint and can talk in the basement. I on the other hand, standing in the bay window or walking down the street, can watch my signal go from full bars to 1 bar and so on and so on. Their techinal support is lacking also and from other posts on here, see I am not the only one. I am going to Sprint.
