I switched from AT&T years ago due to very poor to non existent reception. I would like to get an iphone but AT&T still sucks over here.

Great coverage and I always have full bars anywhere in my home or on the street. Apparently, ATT coverage has improved.

I am in my room, 2 floor and have never had any reception issue. My roommate has Sprint and he has to go to the deck. I think AT&T it is very decent.

S Wacker Dr. / Monroe intersection, Chicago, IL 60606 Wed Mar 12, 2008

I work downtown and live in the northern suburbs and no matter where I go I always have perfect, or near perfect reception. The only time I go below 3 bars is when I am underground at Union Station, but I usually have good enough reception there to check my voicemail and send or receive text messages. My fiance' has Verizon Wireless and he never has good reception and his calls get dropped all the time.

Everyone must remember the following... 1) Transmission Technology exists in only two forms CDMA (used by Verizon / Sprint), GSM (used by all others). CDMA is a more reliable technology. 2) Brand of phone makes a big difference (switching brands while staying with the same carrier can be significant) My Treo with Verizon works perfectly everywhere.

You don't realize what you have until it's gone. I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile because I wanted a Blackberry Pearl. Now my calls sound terrible and drop ALL the time. I never thought anything great about Sprint's service... it just worked like I expected it to do. I didn't realize how lucky I was until I switched to a service that DOESN'T "just work."

Fullerton / Sheffield, Chicago, IL 60614 Wed May 23, 2007

Perfect reception anywhere on DePaul University's campus. If you go in any building, still all bars. Any other provider does not work though. Sorry, you're out of luck without Cingular / AT&T.
