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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

Calls are dropped daily or I get no reception, Cingular has been of little help at getting the problem resolved. They wanted me to buy a new phone. Just moved here and am dropping Cingular for a system that works. Very unhappy with their tech support and the way I was treated on store visits.

Sporatic reception. Most calls out receive the "call failed" notice. No ring most of the times on incoming calls which go directly to voice mail.

My signal strength is so sporadic. I frequently drop calls driving around Augusta. Cingular upgraded my SIM card to try to improve signal, but it only seemed to get worse. Sometimes I have full reception at home, other times it will suddenly drop to nothing and the "For Emergency Use Only" popup will appear when I try to call out. Finally, Cingular sent me a new phone because they could not find any network problems going on in my area, so they determined it was a faulty handset. This is my second day of using the new phone, and I may have 1-2 bar increase in service but service is still sporadic and patchy. My friends say that my voice drops out at least once on most calls. Driving down 95 to FL with this new handset presented similar problems. I was without service for 5-10 miles at a time. I'm to the point where I would pay to get out of my contract.

I drive several days a week from Augusta to Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta. Reception is very poor most of the way... it's a 146 mile trip.

Cingular is excellent in both Augusta & North Augusta. I switched from Sprint - best move I could've made!
