It's great but does not work in my apartment for crap or basements. I was going to switch, but every review for the other carriers seems worse than At&t. There are some dead spots but overall is pretty good and the 3G is faster than most other carriers in general...

As many before me have stated, AT&T coverage in downtown Denver is a joke. Probably 50-75% of my calls have issues (dropped, poor quality, fail). I have had the service for not quite 2 years, live downtown and have had nothing but problems. Trading in for a new phone, new SIM card, changing battery or "resetting network" has not helped. Customer service has gotten a little better about dealing with it, but the problem still remains. A "genius" at Apple told me downtown Denver has one of the worst coverage problems for AT&T in America. His words, not mine. This is not what I signed up for when I bought my phone.

I'm in the top floor of one of the taller buildings in d / t and have little to no coverage in my office. My phone will show 4 bars or more when I go to dial a number but as soon as the call connects it drops down to 1 bar. If the call doesn't get dropped then I can hear 1 out of every 4 words from the person on the other end. Pretty horrible coverage in downtown Denver for the most part.

Used to be great but all of a sudden calls are dropped from inside the building or no reception at all. Just started in July / August '09. Guess I have to change carriers.

Used to be great, but now poor reception.

Patchy coverage on T-Mobil driving on Sante Fe and / or Kalamath from downtown Denver to about Mississippi. I purchased a new phone to see if that was the problem. It was not.

Perfect reception throughout the metro area with my Sprint service. No issues with it any where. Great functionable service!

From inside buildings. Seriously annoying!

Many dropped calls. Poor to no reception right next to my office window.

Zero reception in interior of building - 2-3 bars near outside of building. Always see people talking on cells in elevator and parking garage but I have zip for receptions, as do all the T-Mobile users in our office.

In my area (near downtown), AT&T's service is like the wind: it comes and goes. Once in a while, I have a nice uninterrupted phone conversation, but the majority of my calls are dropped within a minute or two. It's totally unacceptable for a service that costs 95 bucks a month. If AT&T had a face, I would punch it.

Since I purchased the Iphone 3g in July '08 I have had issues with consistent 3g coverage, but the edge network would work most of the time. For the past week, however, I have been dealing with a phone that consistently drops calls all over the Denver metro area. AT&T tech support says every day that there are towers with "degraded service" and quote a time later that evening for a repair. Nothing as of yet has been restored to normal service. I just obtained a service credit but am unable to use my phone until I get out of the Denver downtown area. For instance, driving out to DIA, I cannot make a call that doesn't drop until I get to I70 and Colorado Blvd. Before that point, whether downtown near 16th st. mall or near Cheesman park, every call disconnects within 30 seconds. I find it disappointing that there is a disconnect between the technicians working on issues and the tech support line. If I were given an idea of what was going on, perhaps I could have more patience.

Constant dropped calls or going straight to voice mail and not ringing at all---all this AFTER AT&T bought out Cingular! You mean to tell me that the largest network in the country can't put more towers in the Capitol Hill area (where a large portion of people use this service) And if you're one day late in paying your bill--boy do they find reception to find YOU!

Phone does not work inside the building, only works outside the building.

We live in an apartment and have really poor reception on both our Verizon phones. Occasionally, I am able to tilt my head just the right way and my phone temporarily works okay, but moving 2 inches to the left and I lose the call or it breaks up. Sometimes I'm able to walk outside on our porch and reception is better, but around home and sporadically throughout downtown Denver, we have really bad luck with reception on our Verizon phones.

what phone works best around Naropa campus?

I have had problems at home since I switched to Verizon last year. Reception breaks up constantly - have to repeat myself and callers need to do same. Verizon had me reprogram phone several times but did not help. Now working out of home most of the time so this is a real problem. Verizon sucks in this entire neighorhood. Finally, after much work, Verison confirmed that this area has a known service and reception problem - why don't they tell you that up front! - and that they have a new tower scheduled to go in at 17th and Logan but said it could be 6 months to 2 years! NOTE: they have agreed to let me out of my contract because of this! FURTHER NOTE: With the new EV phones, the bars for reception are USELESS unless you have two sets of bars, one for voice and for EV. My understanding is only a few phones have the dual bars - since most of the SOBs just put one set on the phone you don't know what kind of reception you're getting for voice - the bars are useless.

Drops almost every call inside the apartment. Sometimes I can stand in the doorway to the bathroom and talk for ten minutes. Bars indicate decent reception, but the call gets dropped without notice.

Get good reception with this phone inside the high rise at 12th and Grant (but chose this phone specifically for good reception.) There are cell phone antennas on the building itself; believe they are Virgin or T-Mobile.

Maybe it's our cheap Motorola v180's. My partner and I have experienced horrible service with Cingular in Denver and Salt Lake City since "upgrading" to the v180's last December. We started experiencing poor service in Utah last year when Cingular acquired AT&T. At that time, a Cingular salesman talked us into ditching our perfectly good TDMA phones for the new v180 CDMA sets that supposedly would solve all our problems. Since then, ever-worsening service has frequently had us on the verge of walking into the closest Cingular outlet and smashing our phones to smitherines on the floor in a show of abject frustration and rage. Dropped calls. Failed calls. Calls that are "received" but never ring before going to voice mail. Unintelligible garble and static. Incoming and outgoing calls that are answered but one party can't hear the other. This sadly has become the norm. It's time to smash phones or get off the pot.
