I have been an AT&T and now Cingular customer since 1994, back since I had an old analogue Moto-brick once upon a time, and reception was a dog. Nowadays, the only areas I ever have spotty reception difficulties is in and around the town of Sutter and in the Yuba Foothills (But go figure, no issues in the Valley except around the Buttes). Otherwise overall I am satisfied (except for the price of service - but who is?, and the occassional billing error here and there) with the New Cingular service in the Yuba-Sutter area.

I've been with AT&T since 2001. I get two bars inside my apartment and things aren't too bad. I ocassionally get dropped calls. I commute to Beale AFB and there are a few dead spots on the way to work that I know I will drop a call just by passing through. I normally get reception when other people don't due to the fact that my phone uses TDMA. I landed upon this site because Cingular is going to start charging customers $5 per month if they are not on the GSM network. Cingular doesn't offer the plan that I had with AT&T, so as soon as I upgrade, I will probably be forced to sign a new contract (with terms that are worse than what I have now... and that will cost more money), hence the reason that I landed here. I just wanted to see if there was a better option in this area.

This is the best reception yuo can get in this area! And this is a dead zone for Verizon and Sprint, Yet Cingular / AT&T and T-Mobile have full reception!

Some of the best reception I have ever recieved at my house has been with Cingular (Form. AT&T Wireless) If you go with Cingular you won make a mistake.

Best reception that I've ever had from a cell phone. Tried other phones and carriers and also had to walk around to find the bars!

Always have great reception. Only problem is overcrouding due to the new AT&T / Cingular.

I have had AT&T went to Cingular back to AT&T so over 10 years. The last 8 month my service has gone from 4 bars to 1 if I'm lucky. It was far better when it was analog. I am just wasting my money every month. AT&T is terrible in my area of Yuba City, I would like to know how it is for other parts of Yuba City.

Reception is decent.. it seriously depends on the phone.. I just like the pricing better, free incoming takes the cake, only Sprint offers it.. where the new Sprint store opened up there is full coverage then when you start to go further down butte house..towards sutter.. no reception..

We recently moved to the area and, unfortunately, discovered that we wouldn't be able to use our phones (Treo 650s). If we're able to make a call, it usually drops out. I called Cingular and they informed me that there are currently no new towers planned for the area (West Yuba City) within the next year. We're planning to switch to Verizon or Sprint.

Nokia phones seem to have better reception in this area compared to Ericsson phones.
