I've gotten good reception all over the populated areas in and around Santa Barbara with Verizon for the last 5 years that I've used the service. (I rarely talk on the phone while driving, so can't comment on while-moving communications.) The only place I frequent that has weak reception is way back in the hills, near the Rancho Oso camping areas. Have been very happy with Verizon in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, and the Santa Ynez Valley.

There must have been an upgrade in this area since 2003, because I almost always have perfect reception. On rare occasions (twice in two years) on the university campus I have had momentary service errors because of too many users on one tower, but from home to school I have yet to have a dropped call or poor service, indoors or outdoors.

I have absolutely no qualms with AT&T in Santa Barbara. Coming from Denver Metro Area, with excellent reception from towers mounted on tall buildings, I've noticed very marginal, if any difference in Santa Barbara. I had some issues with my last phone, iphone 4, but I think the improved dual antennae design has helped things immensely. I think you guys with crap reception should look at the devices you're using and consider changing to something a little better.

Generally, good coverage. Driving through SB County there are several areas where coverage drops but only momentarily. Amazingly, I am able to talk while driving thru the tunnel in Gaviota. Data transmission is even better as I can still transmit with zero bars. I moved to AT&T from Verizon despite many of my friends telling me Verizon has better coverage but I have found that not to be the case. Same amount of areas with poor reception, just different.

My 2-year old AudioVox generally gets a full 5 bars of reception at my office near the new Trader Joe's on upper De La Vina. I want to order an iPhone but have heard it has lousy battery life...

Good reception all over Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria, unless indoors, then depends on building construction. Inside my home, reception is two bars, unless near south-facing window.

Sometimes calls or messages don't arrive on my phone, or the phone does not ring but there is a voicemail, etc. but overall good reception. Am on a hill with direct line of sight to cell phone towers in SB. Get 3 ev bars and 3 tv bars.
