There are supposedly ATT towers within a few blocks of me, but I still only get 2 or 3 bars of signal strength. Go figure??

Funny, this phone (EPIC) was supposed to be so superior. I only changed carriers form US Cellular to Sprint because my company offeres a corp. discount, and I'm sad I did. There is NO service on the train underground unlike AT&T and US Cellular, and despite the fact my office building is LITERALLY across the street from Sprint's Corp Headquarters in Rosemont, I rarely get reception at work! The worle 4G this is kind of a sham, too... when I am connected and I randomly loose connectivity, I have to completely shut off my phone and re-start it in order to restore connectivity to 3G network! Can't have more than one text message sending out at a time or it will bump all but the first from sending, and you can't see the screen in the sunlight. What's the point of having a big screen to use internet if you can never connect and if you like being able to text with one hand a'la blackberry-forget it. The only redeeming qualities to the Epic are the camera (which you must use two hands to operate) and the apps which I can rarely use because I never get a signal. The battery life is THE WORST! I even using Adv Task Killer, I have to re-charge the phone AT LEAST 3 times DAILY. DON"T waste your $400, people.

"Call Failed" is a regular occurrence, followed by 10 minutes of a useless 5 Bars of 3G. This service is a joke. T-Mobile here I come.

I live in Printer's Row on the 26th floor, in an East facing unit. I have to have my face pressed up against the glass to get one bar. It will still drop out every 10 mintues. Anywhere else in the unit and nothing. There are no buildings in the immediate vicinity.

Almost always have good reception, just not in some north end bars.

Good outside, but inside warehouse building no reception at all. Even by the windows.

Constantly dropping calls, sometimes 3 times in 15 minutes. I just left the company.

I live in a ground floor apartment in the back of a house in Pilsen and I have never had a problem with reception on any of my U.S. Cellular phones. Actually, anywhere I've gone in the city or out of town, I've never had a problem getting reception or dropping calls or disconnection.

Pretty good phone reception at this intersection of Bridgeport.

Until about two months ago, we had strong (edge, never 3g) reception in the area. Now it is terrible. I have virtually no service inside my building. Even when I go outside and it says I have 1 or 2 bars - it always cuts out within a couple of minutes. It's very disappointing that at >$100 / month in 2009, AT&T can't provide reception in the center of downtown Chicago.
