Great reception at Howe and Elm. Poor reception in hosptial, unless next to a window.

Great reception at home (Howe and Elm). Inconsistent service in YNHH. Especially if not right next to an elevator.

Reception tends to have heavy static unless right up against windows. Even outdoors, there is a good deal of static, particularly in residential areas away from the central campus. Hard to say if other carriers are any better, particularly in the grad ghetto area.

Pretty much no reception in the house unless near a window or skylight. Outside it's ok- at least able to keep a phone call (most of the time). Definitely no data at home- which is disappointing and frustrating!

AT&T Cingular has pretty much the WORST reception of any service carrier in New Haven. If you want to overpay for crappy cell phone service, then this is the service for you. Use Verizon. They are much better here.

I absolutely hate cingular. I dont know if it is my phone or them. I cant even get reception in my own house. every one I talke to on the phone, I cant talk to them more then 5 mins without my call being dropped, I am thinking about moving to Nextel or t-mobile.

I've had AT&T (Now Cingular) for many years now. I got great reception in the East Rock neighborhood on Bishop near State St. for 3yrs. Moved to Westville and get terrible reception. Had to get a land line since I normally cannot carry a conversation for very long.

It may be that there is some sort of shadow because of East Rock. Closer to downtown New Haven reception is much better.

I cannot use my Sprint cell phone at home, in the university dorm, or in the lab.

Didn't work. I left Sprint and never looked back. Much happier with T-Mobile and Cingular service.
