Horrible reception in the Ocean Park area. Some days (like today) there is no reception at all! Have to walk a block outside to get any sort of signal. Do yourself a favor and get Verizon if in the SM area.

No texting, no phone service.

God, has an ip4 and ip 3g for 4 years on AT&T. I have rang them continually over past 8 months telling them they have done nothing to improve the service in santa monica for 4 years. Screw them. They have had my premium money for 4 years now and done NOTHING to improve my experience. Thank god Sprint has the iPhone. I don't care if its not as fast, on average I can use my phone for 80% of the day. No joke. I even had to buy a micro cell tower to get reception in my room and they didn't even reimburse me. On average they give a measly 200 SMS messages which should be included in plan a la Sprint, I continually overrun this because I CAN NEVER USE THE DAMN PHONE. My advice, if in west LA, DO NOT GET AT AND T. Get sprint. Im moving. On average I get charged 50 bucks for overusing my SMS. for only 80 bucks on Sprint I can actually get to use my phone, with unlimited data and SMS. I WISH I HAD SEEN THIS WEBSITE BEFORE, BUT THEN AT AND T AHD A MONOPOLY ON THE IPHONE> NO MORE THANK GOD. THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO IMPORVE THE SERVUCE IN THE FOUR YEARS I HAVE BEEN WITH THEM.

Went away all summer and returned to the neighborhood to radically reduced coverage since early September

No reception since saturday. Kills my battery. Why has there been no announcement made?

2 handicapped and a 2 year old child and Sprint says they cant do anything. technical center will report problem again. towers down for 6 days already.

Today is tuesday. since last thursday, can not call or receive have to drive several blocks away and then it only will work if roaming is okay'd. called sprint, they say 3 towers down, said that last week.

Cell phone was down on and off all weekend with no warning!

AT&T service is down. It is acknowledged to the Los Angeles area when you call in. I heard they were doing maintenance on some towers in the Santa Monica area.

what's going on with reception today? Had no reception at work also (SFV).

No service or searching about 85% of the time. the other 15% my calls are dropped. CAN WE GET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING OR SOMETHING!?????

Out of the blue over this weekend, I started having LOTS of trouble with connections and also many dropped calls. What has changed to make this happen? I now have to stand at my front door to speak on the phone. This is just ridiculous!

reception is horrible on this corner. I live 4 blocks away on 28th and Pear St. and its awful there too. Pls put up a tower around here! cheers, 10yr + SPRINT customer

Was fine until one saturday, I completely lost connection and it hasn't come back in full ever since. Got the phone checked out says its all good. The AT&T wireless network needs a tower near here.

Thank God for Sprint in L.A. It works well for me from Hollywood to Santa Monica and everywhere in between. There is a problem in Venice, but other than that - it's great!

I have been with T-Mobile at this location for 4 years now. At first I switched over to WI-FI using UMA exclusively to get better reception but in the past year Edge works just as well also. I would say reception with T-Mobile is very good- excellent.

I usually have 2 bars in the bedroom and 1 in the rest of the house. Calls drop all the time and sometimes can't even find any signal at all. God I hope Verizon will be better!

Verizon BB and Verizon aircard do not work. Unable to make business or conference calls without getting dropped. Everyone at work is frustrated with me and I can't work from home in the evenings or on weekends. 1 bar of reception... really? $300 for a signal booster, really? So frustrating.

We just recently moved and in our new building we have 0 reception, you pay a fortune of money for your cell and data package thru AT&T and end up with 0 reception. I'm going to get out of my contract with AT&T, because it is just an awful company. These people are thieves and all they want is your money, without resolving "the no reception" and the many dropped calls. I would not recommend this network to anyone.

Generally 3-4 bars at home with no dropped calls. Almost worth the high price. Just waiting for the iPhone to hit Verizon. Then I'll be happy.
