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.

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

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.

Number of bars varies around town but I seldom drop calls except (Unfortunately), at home which is around National Hills, down in the river valley.

The local mental health center has been with several, cell phone companies through the years. Currently, the caseworkers are using the Nokia 3587i under the Alltel plan and there have been no complaints about poor reception, drop phone calls, or unable to get phone service in the Augusta and surrounding areas. I dont know if it is Alltel or the phone but I am pleased with the reception. In comparison, my Sprint Samsung VI660 will start roaming or dropping calls whenever I head out toward hephzibah, appling, etc. It even will start roaming on the back streets off Jackson Road. What a joke... lol.

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.

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.

Very poor reception with this phone, the service sucked too around here. Hence bad phone and service = break in contract before my 15 day cutoff.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

T-mobile svc is terrible in my home. Will have 1 bar every so often. Going to Cingular.

Might have 5 bars of reception, but I lose calls regularly. Most frustrating is that I have to turn off / on the phone on a regular basis to ensure that I'm still "connected". Just picked up 7 messages this morning dating back 3 days. No reception up near the lake. Looks like a choice between multiple evils in this area.

I use my phone for business and I've been all over. Coverage is great! Played golf in Lincolnton and I was the only one with a signal. Visit friends off Furys Ferry Rd. and Evans to Locks, works great. Visit my parents in Thompson and never had a problem. I had my home service turned off for over a year and have saved me a lot of money doing so. Tried all carriers from Sprint to Cingular, Alltel was the best until Verizon came into town. Sprint the worst by far.
