Alltel does not have any (even roaming) coverage in Atlanta per their representative on the phone when I spoke to them later about this.

In Lithonia I've had several dropped called and calls that I never recieve that go straight to voicemail. And cell phone goes in and out of service. Coverage is better in the downtown Atlanta area all my calls are delivered.

I have had several dropped calls. I haven't found one Alltel Dealer within 45 minutes of Downtown Atlanta.

ATT has been a mess in this area since late June. Coverage is all over the map at my house. Even our new microcell antenna at our house works off and on. Dropped calls and terrible audio. Aarrrggghh!

I work in an office building off of Paces Ferry Rd.close to I-285. The reception is never more then 2 bars, and always fluctuates between no bars (Searching) and 2 bars. Calls constantly drop. I have called AT&T and all they can say is "Your reception should be fine there" (ironically the call dropped when I was on the phone with AT&T). Looking at the cell tower maps, it looks like AT&T clusters thier towers rather then spreads them out. Probably why so many people keep having issues. One of my coworkers who is on another network always has 4 or 5 bars (we'll be standing next to each other and my phone shows 1 or 2 or "Searching"). I've been a long time customer of AT&T / Cingular, but I'm beginning to think it's time to change to a carrier that has a reliable network.

Recently moved to Atlanta and I get no reception at all inside or outside of my house. Called AT&T and they told me it was a "moderate" service area. I live in the middle of Atlanta. Horrible customer service. I've had AT&T for almost 10 years and they didn't even try to stop me when I said I was switching to Verizon...

AT&T is horrible! In East Atlanta Village, 2 miles from downtown Atlanta, when on the street, I often get 1 bar of cell service and calls commonly drop. 3G is very spotty- and it often switches back and forth between 3G, Edge, and nothing. After 3 years of putting up with AT&T's poor service and contempt for their customers, I am ending my service with them this week.

I can no longer make calls from my home at the corner of 7th and Peachtree RIGHT IN THE HEART OF MIDTOWN, ATLANTA! AT&T has no service here!

The past six months, AT&T has gotten progressively worse. Working from home, I see my bars go from 1 to 2.. unacceptable. switching to Verizon and an iphone.

I am having to use my cell at home for work calls now and it is impossible. Even on our screened porch, dropped calls, calls are broken up, or incoming calls go to voicemail and no record of a call. Beware!

Starting around August, can only talk in three places in my house: outside on the porch and it's blasted hot, or crammed up against a window in my kitchen or sunroom. We're missing work calls, Dr. calls, and calls from the school. AT&T told my spouse, "oh, I see we have a tower out - it's scheduled to be fixed next week." Now it comes out in the media that service could be bad "until the first of the year". With that news, why wouldn't I switch to another carrier?

I cannot believe how bad ATT service is in Atlanta. These people have all the experience to get this fixed. The only conclusion that I can come to is that it's not important to time.

Poor coverage the last 2 months and it keeps getting worse. Every day, 3+ dropped calls and 1 or less bars of reception. This area used to receive 4+ bars for years...

Reception is poor and has gotten worse over the month of August. No 3 / 4 G reception at anytime. Go for 3 or 4 hours without receiving e mails. i've been and ATT customer for 15+ years, its now time for a new company.

RIDICULOUS! We are at a major intersection, 2 miles from 85 North, near Emory, the VA, and 3 miles from 400 but the coverage is either 1 bar or NO SERVICE! It is infuriating and ridiculous! It seems that service has gotten even worse in the past 3 months... ..

Sad to say I work for AT&T and when I get into the office I lose signal or end up on Edge network a lot inside the office. There are times when I get on 285 heading towards 85 North near Ashford-Dunwoody Rd it starts searching for signal and goes to Edge and then back to 3GS.

AT&T is the worst EVER! I live in Chastain Park / Buckhead and can't make or receive consistent calls, browse, etc. IN TOWN ATLANTA! Even worse when I travel. Constantly have to turn off the phone to reset, so that the cell tower even knows that I'm there. No customer service follow-up and calling for assistance typically gets me an attitude for my efforts. Scik of it!! Be forwarned!

I get very poor reception once I get into Tilly Mill area. My sister lives off Briarcliff between Shallowford and Clairmont. Fugadabout it. My husband has Verizon and it works must better throughout Atlanta.

I get zero reception inside buildings with AT&T. If I'm lucky enough to receive a call it will either be dropped or the entire conversation will be broken / choppy. Worst service ever and trying to figure out which company provides best local service

NO or very poor reception in my apt for last two weeks. Lived here for 6 months and never had a problem... had to go outside to call AT&T... and the call dropped! Finally got through... the operator said THREE TOWERS were out in the area... of course they were scheduled to be fixed days ago, but still not up yet. She said give it 48 hours.
