Oct 7, 2011: I have AT&T but it is POOR. I usually only get one bar in my apt. on Pacific Ave (between Washington and Venice Blvd). It's very spotty - sometimes I'll get about 3 bars but it's choppy. I'm tired of AT&T so now deciding between Sprint or Verizon now that they offer the iPhone.

after service quality dropping significantly in august 2009 it just dropped even more in the last month or so. every. single. call gets interrupted. called AT&T and the rep is actually telling me that they are servicing a tower in my area TODAY. at 1:36pm. what a coincidence!?!?!

Extremely poor reception. Callers often cannot hear my voice. Frequently phone does not ring and I find out there was a call when I get a message. The Original iPhone was poor but passable. The iPhone 4 (with case) is terrible. Dialing out often takes a long time before ringback starts.

I hate AT+T. I spend $150 a month for nothing. Been trying for an hour to speak to a real person in customer service to cancel account but have been disconnected 3 times.

No reception at this location. Service constantly fluctuates and is totally unreliable. Calls dropped, poor reception.

Up until last week, I was able to make phone calls from my apartment. Since about Wednesday afternoon, I have gotten so many "Call Fail"s that I am starting to understand what people say about AT&T. I am willing to give them a chance though. They say there are three towers down with i a ten mile radius of my home, perhaps due to the winds. I am hoping they get those back up, because I have had my phone since September with no problem. It is my only phone (no land line) and I'm unemployed, so this is a problem.

There is 3G at Lincoln Blvd. As soon as I head west towards my house, it drops to Edge. Inside my house, the signal becomes unusable. Voice calls constantly break up or are dropped completely.

I'm lucky to get one bar anywhere within one or two blocks of my apartment. AT&T has promised me for years they are installing new towers to improve reception. I'm not holding my breath. As soon as Verizon gets the iPhone, I'll gladly pay whatever the early termination fee is to get off this pitiful network.

I noticed that cell phone reception has dropped significantly in the past 3 weeks. when I returned from vacation, cell phone calls at home now crackle and break-up often. was there a change? a tower went down?

Terrible reception. THought it might be the Santa Monica airport - but no, as I get closer to the airport, the reception is actually a little better (but not great).

Worse than ATT - since the Cingular buy-out, reception and battery time have significantly worsened. Add the facts that, when I attempted to replace my phone with Cingular, 1) Cingular couldn't provide one piece of transfer information online for an entire month and 2) Cingular would not provide any value for staying with them after the buyout. Conclusion: "Sell all shares." It is most interesting that domestic celphone service plans and hardware are simply not comparable. It is almost as if they are working together to prevent consumers from clearly comparing them against each other.

The closest dropout is the Ocean Park / Lincoln intersection. Other than that I get good reception.
