at&t service has become a complete joke. full bars indicated almost all of the time. despite this I would say that at least half of my calls are dropped, or don't go through at all. my husband and mother are on the same plan and also have the same problem. this happens all over chicago. also frequently I do not receive my voice mails and sometimes receive them, but weeks later. this is a huge problem. there is almost no point in having a cell phone with this kind of service. we have tried different phones, switched out sim cards nothing helps. I am a mom and my cell phone number is my work number and my emergency number. ARGH!

T-mobile has outstanding coverage! I can remember 2 times throughout the entire 5 years I have been with them where I have had a dropped call.

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.

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.

On the 7th floor, I always have full reception. I've never had a problem with reception in this area since I've switched to Sprint.

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.
