Terrible reception at this location. Dropped calls, and voice fades in and out.

Average reception at BART station. Some dropped calls. Maybe Walnut Creek has crappy reception because no one wants to allow cell towers to be added. C'mon people. We're gonna have to allow some new towers if we want better reception.

I'll have 3 bars on a good day. I can be near the patio and still the reception is low. It's almost a daily tradition to have at least 3-4 dropped calls a nite with my girlfriend.

AT&T has terrible reception in this area. I have to go outside to get reception and even then one bar at very best, many dropped calls... ..I think their ads are extremely misleading! Many complaints by many people in the area are ignored.

AT&T has terrible coverage in the Northgate area. Many neighbors have complained for many years, yet the company seems non-responsive. I have had AT&T in one version or another for several years, travel all over the world, and the worst reception I have is when I return home - go figure! Makes me want to switch to Verizon.

Horrid reception no matter which phone we use. Indoors is impossible. We have to go outside to answer a call.

Left Cingular years ago because of bad reception in our area. AT&T swore it was all better now. I would say its worse now than it was then. The time of day also plays a part. Near commute time and some calls end up being 'fuzzy' or distorted. My iPhone drops calls and the voice quality is infuriating. We got Razrs for the family and they do the same thing. Outside or inside, the reception is poor. Back to Sprint! Crummy phones... but at least you can talk on them!

i have grate reception up in my room almost always a solid 5 bars up in my room

We get no reception in our house. We have to go into the backyard to talk and still only1 bar! The stretch on Walnut from Ignacio to Oak Grove varies from 1 -2 bars but drops calls. Northgate Rd.and Rancho Paraiso are dismal: dropped calls, no bars, very bad. Cingular told us to get the new phones and that would help. It did not! In addition, Cingular's very limited customer service hours require at least a 10 minute wait and then you get someone who asks scripted questions but really knows NOTHING. Very frustrating after the good customer service from AT&T and the GREAT service from Cellular One.

I could not place any calls unless I stood in my front lawn.

Reception over the past month has become increasingly worse. Numerous calls to Cingular hasn't resolved a thing. They claim that there are minor problems with towers more than 3 miles away and that should not effect our reception.

No reception after 6PM weekdays and no reception weekends. Terriffic! Service stopped April 1, 2005 2 mile drive in any direction will pick up the signal again. You can get your messages and make calls from your car, after finding the signal. Cingular is oversold and underequiped for the "unlimited minutes" caller. Cingular has not noted any problems in the area. Cingular truly sucks. Check out the June Consumers Report... that tells it all.
