No 3G. Between 0 and 3 bars (out of 4) on 2G. Outbound calls fail or are very noisy and crackly.

I live right between Intel and Apple, and I get better reception in Mozambique or Uganda or Kenya!

In Tasman building addresses 3001, 3003, or 3005, my ATT coverage typically shows only 1-2 bars. I'm frequently unable to access the internet, and occasionally drop calls in these locations as well.

The reception is poor. Most of the time I can't hear clearly what the person on the other side is talking about. I get call failed occasionally or just the call just canceled automatically. My phone is showing 5 bars most of the time but would drop to 3 or no bars during call. I do get drop calls occasionally.

horrible horrible horrible! I get absolutely no reception! And when I am lucky and get one to three bars, the call quickly "fails". Worst cell phone provider ever. Oh yeah, and their "best coverage" ad campaign is a huge lie.

Something good has happened in the past few days. Now getting 3G reception indoors (1-2 bars). Outside is much stronger. It appears that something positive has been done by AT&T in our area recently.

I found out from AT&T's (Cingular) own website that my reception is poor with where I live. I wished I had this tool two years ago before I was locked in a two year contract. The cell phone service was virtually useless because I can't call anyone without major frustration with frustration. Too many dropped calls. Definitely switching to Verizon as soon as contract is completed.

Reception on AT&T all throughout the Valley is completely hit or miss, plus even when you do have signal you're lucky to be able to make a call. Even though they claim I have 3G coverage here, I don't get any 3G, only 1 bar of EDGE if I am lucky. At home I have to hold my AT&T phones up to the window to get service, doesn't matter which model I use, I have 6 or 7 different AT&T phones and they all get horrible reception.

Cingular has TERRIBLE reception in the area near Santa Clara University. Whenever I'm indoors, I always get dropped called, which is kind of ironic since Cingular's ads always say that they have the least dropped calls. Furthermore, whenever I try to call someone, I have to try countless times before I even manage to call through. When I eventually manage to get through, the reception is VERY bad and I can hardly hear what the other person is saying. It just sounds like this, "Hello? *insert 5 seconds of NOTHINGNESS* Hello? *insert another 5 seconds of hearing absolutely nothing at all* HELLO?? ARE YOU THERE? *gets disconnected*" I'm definitely switching to Verizon or T-Mobile. Shame on you, Cingular!

I used to have good reception for the longest time since i've been a Cingular customer but for the past 2 months i've have bad or almost no reception even in my open backyard. I usually have to walk out onto the street to get 2-3 bars to get my voicemails since nobody can call me when I don't have reception so my phone can't even register a missed call for me to get back to them. I called AT&T and apparently about 2 months ago they stopped paying T-Mobile to allow its users to roam off the T-Mobile towers, so until enough people call in and complain to AT&T so that they can fill in a form of complaint, they are not going to reverse their decision, and bad reception is all we're gonna get. I feel so cheated for paying for a service i'm not even getting!

Very spotty in the house. Calls go in and out frequently. Have to go outdoors to get better reception. AT&T, put a tower in our area!

i usually get no reception in the house. I usually need to go out of the house to get a reception.

Horrible reception indoors, but decent outdoors. Usually 1-2 bars indoors, but calls are frequently dropped and many times I will see "Call Failed"

Voice breaks a lot and other person cannot hear me. Though I can hear them clearly. Even tried changing the SIM and Phone. Still have the same issue. Dont know when it will be resolved

Almost non-existent in the house. Verizon slightly better. T Mobile bad. This is a dead area. Buyer beware. Check T Mobile site and you'll see bad coverage.

I usually see 4-5 bars. Even then the voice breaks when I receive a call. The people on the other side don't have any issues. Initially I felt it was a problem with the instrument, so replaced it with another one. Have the same problem with another equipment, but slightly less severe. Don't know the issue yet.Any help will be appreciated

When I am inside the house, you get only one bar. You have to run to outside to receive phone calls. T-mobile is the same, I believe they use the same network as Cingular in this area.

No reception in my 2nd floor Mansion Grove Apartment. I have to go out in patio to get the signal. And even then, the signals are very weak. Just one or two BARS.

Looks like this Santa Clara area does not have a good coverage - no cell towers. Verizon has 5 bars in my home while Cingular only 1 or 2

Service is poor AND sporadic. No network reading occurs with great frequency when I attempt to make a call from home. Bluetooch warning of no service available happens all the time on I-280, Benton, Homestead and Market St.(near SCU). When traveling in other cities the service is good. Sure would like cell phone to work at home.

Since the buy out of AT&T, the service is terrible. I can not receive calls from inside my own house. My voice messages are usually delayed by 3 to 4 hours. Reception is bad in all parts of the valley. My AT&T contract is up in March 06, I will not go back to Cingular again.

Inside wood-frame house, reception is usually 1-2 bars but reception drops to zero frequently, often every 3-10 minutes, requiring reconnection; it has not improved with ATT merger. Outside, same problem altho bars are more constant; calls still drop frequently. Cingular will not take a trouble report unless I provide part of the lead family-member's SSN which I don't want to know and shouldn't.
