Service in nonexistent indoors and outdoors is not that much better. Seems like I've to pass McFadden on the south or 1st street going north to get reception. Anything calls I try to make within these streets are never successful. I've looked into getting a microcell tower but I'm not willing to pay $200 to get a service I'm already paying for. I've complaint about their crappy reception in my area but in the past the reps have blamed my phone. Since I know its useless to bring press the issue any further I just leave it at that, but its not the phone. Many phones have this problem in this area.

my reception is 0-1-0 I'm paying for like my cell phone is disconnected i'm not happy with this company it's terrible. this economy is not good for my bussiness plus with this poor reception make worst. oct / 27 / 10

I am so frustrated with AT&T's reception in Santa Ana. It seems in this day and age, this should not be such a huge problem for so many people. I experienced the same problem at my apartment in Irvine. The worse part is, AT&T's "customer service" is very sorry that I can't make or receive any calls at home, but that's the way it is. There is no offer to compensate for this lack of service. It's a huge rip off as far as I'm concerned. They should at least offer to let you out of your contract without the penalty so you can try another provider. The concern for the consumer is non-existant - just like their reception. It is all lip service in hopes that you'll give up and go away!

Maximum of 1 bar indoor and outdoor. Call dropped 8 out of 10 times. Customer service said it's about my phone. I got a new phone but it still suck! If you live around here DON'T buy AT&T (Cingular).

I used to be a Sprint Customer and had excellent reception in most if not all of Orange County. Switched in February of 2006 and am extremely disapointed. Service is almost nonexsistent in and around my home. I switched to get on my husbands plan to save money and now I'm stuck in a 2 year contract. I went from using about 400 min a month to about 75 min a month because I rarely get reception. My husband has to walk outside for his phone to work. I have more dropped calls and frequently have my voicemail alert come on hours after the voicemail was left because I'm in a deadzone. I live in a major metropolitan city with no large buildings or moutains that would block cell phone tower coverage and am floored at how poor Cingulars coverage is. I'd say it might be my phone that is causing such poor service but its brand new and my husband has a Motorola that does the same thing.

Just moved from San Gabriel Valley where I had perfect coverage. Now my bars are down to 1, indoors and outdoors, and I have dropped calls all the time. :( Upgraded SIM cards to the 64K, but still poor coverage. Looking into getting a repeater.

Excellent reception, 4 out of 4 bars. But, this is only outside. I've heard 3395 is one of the most sensitive phones. Once inside (I live in mobile home (aluminum walls), it is down to 2-3 bars next to the windows and 0-1 everywhere else. Now, my roommate, has Verizon service on a phone with extendable antenna. He has 4 bars inside. Verizon is known to be good in somewhat "forgotten areas" like this one. My phone provides excellent reception in Irvine on Redhill and Alton, 4 bars even inside building, well, pretty much like anywhere in "good" areas.
