This is the worst reception I have ever had, inside no reception hardly at all, no internet, and when I get internet(rarely) it is slow as could be. Outside it doesn't get much better.

AT&T is the worst. I have had nothing but dropped calls from Texas all the way to Augusta. I recommend Ge Verizon or another carrier. I really like the iPhone but issues with the carrier make it a hassle.

I have a LG Chocolate phone, which is pretty much a basic phon, and it gets excellent reception pretty much anywhere I go inside or out, even in the wood when I am hiking around the area

Decent reception outside the building, but inside buildings on post, the reception is spotty at best. I was surprised to learn AT&T owns so few towers in Augusta. Overall, there are only a few spots in town where my reception drops out.

Verizon: a few calls were dropped in the local area of Augusta, GA. I had no problems while in rural areas of IN. The reception is minimal in rural areas of LA. I never had a problem with Alltel so I will go back to them.

This is awfull no reception at all and drops your calls.

Shows less bars but all is 4x4. Never dropped a call. Never had a problem. Never had to move to transmit or receive.

VERiZON iS THE BEST, it works everywhere. if anyone gets a phone I recomend verizon

I live in Merrick Place apartments and anyone who comes over that has T-Mobile NEVER has signal inside the house. Outside your lucky to have one bar.

Alltel has provided me with the best coverage. I work in live in Augusta area and work in Aiken. My job requires a lot of travel- mostly rural areas. My work phone is serviced by Sprint. There have been several occasions where I have had to use my personal phone because my work phone could not find a signal. This has also been the case for many of my co-workers. My Alltel phone has even worked when my co-worker's Verizon phone could not complete a call. Hands down Alltel and Verizon have the best coverage in this area. Alltel works well in both city and rural areas of the following surrounding counties: Aiken, Burke, Jenkins, Bulloch, and Screven. In addition to Atlanta. Added my father to my line (he had been with T-Mobile), he now can recieve calls with Alltel in places (homes / stores / neighborhoods) where he previously could not.

I work for an Alltel Agent Store. I have Verizon as a personal phone through my family and have Alltel as a work phone. I constantly compare the two. Here's the deal, Alltel and Verizon pretty much use the same towers. Alltel owns more towers than any other company - "Largest Wireless Network" Verizon is fairly close still. Since both companies use mostly the same towers, The coverage is very close. Here in Augusta, Alltel is better. Verizon is very good also. Once you leave Augusta, going to Waynesboro, Hephzibah, Wrens etc.. Verizon has good signal in most areas, but spotty in some. Alltel is definately better in rural areas. At the lake, it varys which areas and which phone. The phone does make a difference in rural areas. Motorola and LG with Alltel are the best. I personally recommend an older Motorola or Nokia, the old Bar style phones. The ones that wont die! I have only been in one area near Augusta that my Alltel and Verizon did not work- leaving Lincolton heading towards Elberton on the back highways. They both had 1 bar of service for miles and they both dropped off at the same time and picked up at the same time. At&T is alright in the city, it does have spotty areas Sprint is good, spotty areas though Suncom - dont bother, only service on highways and major roads. T-mobile is very spotty Alltel and Verizon is your best bet period! Alltel plans are cheaper, but Verizon has cooler phones. Talk with friends and family and see what is best for you. Hope this helps

Barely any reception at ASU. Well, zero signal in the campus buildings or within 100 feet of them for that matter. Wide open areas of campus have some patches with (poor) reception. Probably going to switch to a new carrier soon.

Lots of dropped calls, sometimes no service at all. I especially don't get service IN MY OWN HOUSE which is right off Belair Road. I've called and complained numerous times. I HATE T-MOBILE and am going to a different service.

Many, many dropped calls. Worst customer no- service I've ever experienced. If your phone malfunctions and you just bought it brand new, they will send you a "re-firbished" phone back to replace it. They're making alot of money off of this scam! AT&T bought them out for a reason. They're so horrible, in all ways, that they couldn't survive!

I've had T-Mobile in augusta since early 2004, and have had pretty good service. Right around walton way / ASU the signal is a 3 / 5 bars, but otherwise the signal is 5 / 5 bars all around town. I recommend T-Mobile to anyone in augusta looking for a cell phone service.

no reception in macy's store or the center of stores

Since moving here, I have had no problems with dropped calls or poor call quality. My husband has Cingular and continues to experience dropped calls. Thank goodness for VERIZON!

Every night I lose services for a period of several hours before it returns to my house. I will go from full services to none at all in seconds and wont return for hours.

Nothing but dropped calls, poor reception and terrible customer service. I'm glad my 2 year contract is over

I've been with 4 cell phone companies (currently Suncrap, I mean, Suncom)... I've always lost calls right at the road that leads into ASU... Now there seems to be a new "hole" that roams around that area; either closer to the Partridge Inn area, or sometimes closer to the Montesano area. Regardless, it's always there. I'd like to have entered "Suncom" under carrier, but since that wasn't a choice I put TMobile - my last carrier that also sucked rocks. It's really almost to the point of being useless. seems like Verizon customers are "Ok" with their service around here, I'll try them next I suppose
