Have never had a problem with my Alltel phone which I had when I moved here four years ago. Still get excellent reception. I think they have now merged with Verizon and are using their towers.

AT&T Used to work well in LA, but after moving up to San Jose, the reception is really really bad.. At school, bar shows like 2~3 with HSDPA, but it fails to connect to 3g internet. Phone call works just okay in campus.. but when I go to the Target, Costco, Walmart in San Jose area, phone does not work at all. As soon as I get in to the store no signals at all.. AT&T sucks like hell in whole San Jose area. WIRELESS PHONE MUST WORK NOT DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCATION. This is ridiculous. I'll move to VRZW right after my contract ends

Zero bars.. when I drive east on Aborn, the bars just disappear when I cross white road, nothing, zip, silch,nada. ATT has literally no service in the entire 95135 zip code. I try to dial out or access my voice mail, I get 'No network service' message. just horrible. Im getting out of ATT as sson as my contract end. its just useless.

Poor reception inside house 1 to 0 bars. Outside house maybe on a good day 3 bars. Dropped calls always.

Drop calls frequently

No reception in our house, no matter where we are. Neighborhood is mostly a dead zone.

Constantly drops calls after the first few seconds. Only predictable to send txt msgs from this location.

I have AT&T, and my primary areas of stay are stokes st and tasman dr. I have not more than 2 bars (out of 5) at stokes, and none in the buildings at river oaks. While I can comfortably call in some areas just 4-5 miles away from these areas. I can never call anyone, nor accept calls. 100% drops.. If I call customer service, to my surprise, they say that they cannot open a ticket for my issue because "nobody complained about the AT&T signal issues in these areas". They say its my "phone's problem"... . and if that does not work out they say "its a maintenance issue"... . I had this issue going on for last 2 months since I am here at San Jose.. so "is the maintenance going on for last two months ??".. I asked them... finally they say... "its because of more number of users in ur area".. God.. just excuses... . excuses... .excuses... .. Its all weird.. they dont provide the real information / causes etc.. It does not seem as if they are really interested in knowing the problem and addressing it... AT&T will face a real issue if they continue in this way... with a bad signals... customer service... . everything... I am going to try Verizon prepaid (go phone) for a month, and then decide how to proceed. Not sure if this works out... but seems that my friends with Verizon were not having the issue..

Dropped calls constantly after 20 seconds, no reception whatsoever in this area. It's only after you get to Starbucks that you get coverage.

I get intermittent dropped calls. Many times have to go out of my home for the call, even then there are several dropped calls. I wonder how they show this area as 3G. I did notice the same while traveling from voltaire to Capital, When u reach Capitol, the reception becomes average. I wonder where their tower is? --MC

Call drops consistently, no bars on the phone.

Cell reception at my house is terrible. I had to purchase a MicroCell from AT&T because reception at my house was so bad (and the iphone had not come out on Verizon yet). Even that is terrible. Still drops calls, sometimes poor voice quality, hands off to the tower sometimes (which makes calls drop or start to be unintelligible because the tower signal strength is only 1 or at most 2 bars). When the new iphone (iphone 5) comes to Verizon I will probably switch carriers.

ATT rates this area as full 3G. It is not 3G. I experience often NO Services, 1 bar, many dropped calls, intermittent connection. ATT customer service are complete liars. As a matter of fact service from Ruby Rd up towards the hills is about the same. Evergreen HS is lousy as well. Verizon in this area has a better signal. I will terminate my ATT contact and likely move to Verizon since ATT is not interested in service and only making excuses for the service. I think they should rate this area from 3G to NO service then everyone would not be mislead they can't use their service reliability in this area.

At most 1 bar but then drops the call. Terrible. Have to walk up the hill to get any reception and even then it is terrible.

Reception is horrible. Best we get is one bar. Most of the time none. I would drop my land service if we had reception.

lived in Missouri in the stick's and had about 30% coverage and great wi fi access. moved to san jose and have almost 0% coverage. have to tell friends and family to call me on the house line. not worth the $110 i'm paying a month. let's not talk about ATT cutting the unlimited data package down to 2GB's a month last june!

Used to be 2 to 3 bars, for the past year now, I'm getting 1 to 0 3G and keep moving to Edge signal. Supposed to get better when technology mature, but AT&T is degrading...

Inside the house, both AT&T and Verizon has single bar. AT&T call drops more often than verizon.

I was getting 4 bars for reception on my new iphone 4, but I was getting 'Call Failed' on almost every call I made. If I turned Airplane mode ON, then OFF again (this causes the search for the network), then I could call once or twice. I had to do this each time I made a phone call. After ruling out hardware (swapped phones at Apple), I tried turning the 3G network mode to OFF in this area. Now I can call everytime!

For the last two weeks, most calls immediately fails with "call fails: network busy" I don't think it is a signal quality issue, looks like their network is too congested.
