Ponce De Leon / Ponce De Leon and Sycamore, Decatur, GA 30030 Tue Sep 20, 2011

Many dropped calls over the past two months. And one when I was on a phone interview. Am currently testing a Verizon Droid Incredible 2 and receiving excellent results.

I have spotty reception, even when at full bars. Phone is in fine condition and works well elsewhere. Signal goes in and out from 5 bars to none. No large land obstructions here. Still amazes me that Cingular is so crappy near its home city. Just moved back from Guatemala where the cell signal is near perfect at all times.

Ponce De Leon / Between Briarcliff and Decatur, Decatur, GA 30030 Sun Jan 28, 2007

My coverage goes out at least once or twice along Ponce in between Decatur and Briarcliff. At the Scott Blvd.intersection, there is no reception and I have to drive almost a half mile in any direction to pick up a signal again.

Scott Blvd. / Near Where It Splits From Ponce De Leon, Decatur, GA 30030 Sat Apr 01, 2006

I back out of my street (Pinetree Drive, a little less than 1 mile from Decatur 's Square), and things are 1 - 2+ in terms of reception. I get to the intersection with Scott, and it just ain't happening. This was not the case when I had Cingular, altho the quality was generally 1 - 3. Have to travel up / down Scott before I can get anything. Doing business out of the house is pretty hinchy if it's by the mobile. Sucks, I but doubt the neighborhood wants another nearby tower. You'd think that with transmitters atop Stone Mountain and the Georgia Pacific building (both rooms carry signs bewaring you of intense and unhealthy electromgnetic radiation, advising protective suits if you have to work in there--my employer hastwo-way radio equipment there, and I have to enter from time to time) that this wouldn't be an issue, given the coverage spread. Oh well. (BTW, GPTV transmitts from Stone Mountain too, as do several other outfits. There really is competition for space at both locations, given the great coverage they provide)

I get poor to no reception at home in Oakhurst with Cingular. I generally need to go out in the back yard to make a call if I don't want to get cut off. On the rare occasions I do get a decent signal, it's with a roaming surcharge. I'll definitely be switching once this contract is up.

Good or near perfect reception within City of Decatur city limits, however inside my home (also within the city limits, just south of East College Av.) reception is poor and usually requires me to step outside to use phone.

Decent reception indoors (3 out of 4 bars), drop offs happen but are infrequent. It used to be that service would just disappear for 30 seconds at a time (cellular eclipses?) but that doesn't happen any more.

Sprint's coverage along major roads has been fairly good, but coverage at home has been troublesome at best. If I stand near a eastward facing window I can usually get two bars, but sometimes there is no signal at all. This phone was meant to replace my land line, but hasn't proved reliable enough to allow me to make the switch (so much for cutting costs). Verizon appears to have much better coverage here though, so I will soon be dropping Sprint in favor of Verizon.

Ponce de Leon / Commerce Dr., Decatur, GA 30030 Thu Sep 16, 2004

I just bought a house in downtown Decatur and it has NO reception for any cell phones. I use AT&T, but friends use T-Mobile and it is just as bad. Even outdoors, it is terrible. It appears to be a dead zone.

Little or no reception in Apartment. Only one bar to two in bedroom, other rooms no bar have to use bluetooth for calls. However I can only get a decent signal at the intersection of Mountain Dr. and Covington Hwy. Reported it to T-Mobile was told they would check and call me back,still waiting since a year ago, eventually had to get comcast digital to cover for emergencys can't rely on cell phone Otherwise its ok from there on.

5th / Spring, Decatur, GA 30032 Sun Sep 18, 2005

I have no reception on the east end of the georgia tech campus. The phone says I have reception, usually 2-3 bars, but the calls usually don't come through, or they are dropped within a minute of picking them up. I've also called Sprint to complain, and they tell me that must mean I need a software update, which requires an additional service charge. Of course, last time this happened to my phone, Sprint told me the same thing, and the coverage didn't really get any better.

In my apartment, I get extremely poor reception. I have many dropped calls because of this as well. It is very annoying because it makes no use of my free nights and weekends; the times that I am actually at home! I've encountered this problem with more than just this particular handset (samsung e105) and also in different apartment units. That is just one of the most annoying things!

I was excited to finally upgrade to a smartphone, only to have all of my calls drop inside the house. Sometimes I couldn't even dial out. I use my phone for work too, so this was unacceptable. I switched back to my old trustworthy Sony regular cell phone--which works without any problems at all.

Sprint Reception is awful in Medlock Park in N. Decatur. Looks like Verizon is the only other one worth trying.
