NO RECEPTION at this end of Christmas Valley on any of the streets including Memory Lane So. Upper Truckee Rd past Portal, Grass Lake Rd. Beaver Brae, ect.

T-mobile in south shore sucks there are random dead areas around Seirra Tract and the neighborhood by Barton hospital also Al Tahoe blvd and the schools around there.The weird thing is that there are horrible areas and almost perfect reception in others right next to each other

Great reception from ATT in South Lake Tahoe! (I know what you're thinking, a decent review for ATT?) In the Keys (where I currently live), you can expect to get 4-5 bars. Coverage is pretty good on highway 50, and even on the mountains of Heavenly Ski Resort. Coverage on most beaches. You can expect to get 3G almost everywhere. A recent speed test of the 3G here received 4.4 Mbps, which is damn good! Lastly, almost all of the residents here are ATT subscribers. ATT doesn't get 5 bars because occasionally your calls can drop, and recently a cell tower went down for almost a full day, but otherwise great service.

Crickets website said I would get perfect reception here, walked all over the placenear the y area, up the 50 to third st etc.. no coverage.. now lets see if I an get a refund...

T-mobile worked great when I first got it 3 years ago. Since then I swear they have sold 1 / 2 their towers. I'm lucky to get a bar at best. I ended up getting a phone that works with WiFi too. Too bad their wifi connect with the phone sucks too. AT&T is the way to go for sure.

Almost zero reception for data.

There are a few dead spots in town, at the newspaper building for one, but overall the reception is wonderful. I even get good strength at Sierra, all over the mountain, and at the base of Kirkwood.

ATT says this is a good coverage area near the Y no way! The only service that works here is Sprint and they have poor coverage all over town. Cingular was very good on the Nevada side until they hooked up with ATT and now dropped calls all the way to the top of Spooner Summit They are going backwards! However they are still the best in town

First of all Cingular now the new AT&T has the best coverage in south lake tahoe, you can get five bars almost anywhere while Sprint has the worst u only get one bar almost everywhre u go including nextel. T mobile has good conerage too making in #2 here at south shore and Verizon has kind of a moderate reception not too good not too bad so in south shore Cingular or AT&T is the best

The Sprint representative told me I would get reception at my house on Mandan, but I don't even get it in the front yard, down the street, or anywhere in the neighborhood until I get to Lira's. I can't get reception at my workplace off of Elks Point Road, and I regularly drop calls in town, like sitting at the Bijou Longs. Sprint utterly sucks, and they give lousy service when I've asked them to address these issues.

Cingular by far has the best coverage in the south shore area. I live here so Ive been around this town from corner to corner and theres practically nowhere a signal cant be picked up. Within the city limits it is not uncommon to get 5 bars (full signal) everywhere. Cingular has excellent placement of towers in the area and most operate on the 850 band for added coverage. South shore is definitely Cingular-land.

Coverage very good throughout the city of South Lake Tahoe. Coverage spotty around Emerald Bay, but better at lake level and with a clear view of the Cave Rock and Round Hill areas of Nevada, where I believe the tower is. Good coverage in most places close to the lake from Homewood north to Tahoe City and Incline Village.

mostly "no service" dropped 6 out of 6 calls unable to get through to Verizon help on *611 friends Cingular Motorola works well TIME TO SWITCH

Nothing south of santa claus on both Cingular or Nextel

Wifes Cingular works 3bars out of our house My Verizon works very little in Tahoe

cingular is the only provider in tahoe where you can call almost anywhere you are! RASING THE BAR

Better than Sprint or Verizon

sometimes reception goes to 2 bars but hardly ever. I have asked Verizon several times to put in towers in tahoe area( at least south shore) or when that would be happeneing and they said they were not sure but that they have been asked that several times and said something about contacting my local government to ask about environmental issues and why more towers werent allowed to be put in. My friend has congular and he has way better coverage than I did. He actually received calls where as I was lucky enough to make a call on 1 bar on the extended network! Please people bug Verizon to get better signal in tahoe...

Throughout Lake Tahoe, my Verizon reception was pretty sketchy. And even in places where I can make or accept phone calls, I still am unable to check my voicemail (I get an error message).
