Dropped calls fairly frequent.

AT&T service has beyond sucked since the day we went to them from T-Mobile. I have called and complained so much and received several hundred dollars in credits but truthfully i'm tired of having to call and tired of credits. Give me service that works please. I'm actually considering paying over 400 to break my contract with AT&T so I can get better service. I have to go outside of my home to make phone calls... What a joke! our monthly service runs about 240.00 / month for three lines each with data and we can't make or receive calls from our home without them dropping...

I get better reception in Beijing, China than Evanston, Illinois with AT&T. Really! T-Mobile fantastic, AT&T horrible.

Get no to intermittent reception, chronic dropped calls. No reception in our second-floor condo, no reception from Ryan Field to Linden "El," dropped calls on Central St. Completely unreliable. Called tech support and were told that we should be getting service. Called a second time and were told that one of their towers is down (as of May) and that it will be repaired in December. We were told we could purchase a signal booster and pay a monthly fee to maintain it. Why can't we get that for free? "We cannot offer complimentary signal boosters because they are in such high demand from our customers." Despite the competitive pricing, I would rather pay more for service that works than the amount that we pay Sprint for a smartphone that is useless for anything but texting.

Outdoors I mostly get 5 bars. Indoors, however, differs greatly. Mostly get at least one bar. Had no dropped calls. However, 3G speed fluctuates. I'm happy with AT&T.

I get 1 bar in my second story Evanston condo and nothing but static, dropped calls at home. Work on 35th floor in Loop and No 3G or Edge service, I do get a o though. I also do not recieve calls when I'm downtown and texts are hours late. Bye Bye At&t

Reception in Northwestern's Pancoe building is very bad. Occasionally by the window I can get signal long enough to be alerted of a voicemail / textmessage. Outside of the building it picks up signal, but dropped calls are very common.

last 6 mos. dropped calls, e-mail not checked for hours... I use this phone for business, I'm dropping Verizon after 12 years.

OK reception outside. No reception in my house. Glad I still have a landline.

AT&T has NO SIGNAL, 2000 new students, their parents and friends can't get cellphone signals from AT&T. They will switch to other carrier if signal is NOT improved around the Northwestern University.

I use my iPhone as my home phone and in the past it was good to perfect. Phone reception has been steadily declining and in the past week I often have no reception in my apartment except in the kitchen where there is only one bar. It never used to be like this. I am thinking of ditching this phone because it's so unreliable. No point having an iPhone if the stinking thing doesn't work.

My friends hate me. I moved to NU a couple months ago, and I keep trying to call them, wandering around outside the building hoping for a fractional bar, bumping into other iPhone users. I sometimes get enough reception if I stand near the library facing East, but not West - but then I nod or a car drives by or a plane flies overhead and my call gets dropped and I have to call my irritated friends back. Again. And that's OUTside! I think I get negative reception inside, like I'm somehow subsidizing my colleagues' Sprint and Verizon reception. I've been making feeble attempts to call people on my drive home (using the iPhone earbuds / mic). Heading West, I've gotten dropped at Golf / McCormick and three other spots before Waukegan Rd. If I ever hope to talk to anyone, I'm going to have to drive home through more Northern suburbs, and isn't that stupid? Yep, I've got an iPhone in Chicago - I'm all dressed up and nowhere to go!

There is little to no reception here. Calls coming in go directly to voice mail and calls going out fail. Texting output is delayed for up to five min. AT&T cannot or will not do anything about it. Does anyone know a better coverage by any other carrier. for this area?

There is a major dead spot in Evanston for the Sprint network right where I live by Willard School.

No bar and completely no reception in Tech Building. One bar at the outside of the building.

why cant we get good coverage at Northwestern U at Norris Center where all the kids hang out??

No service mostly, ocassionally 1 bar, but then the call is dropped. Sprint gets exellent service on campus. Not to good for T-Mobile

I get better reception in elevators in downtown chicago than I do in my wood frame house in northwest evanston. Reception is horrible.

In Tech Institute, there's no reception ever. Never use AT&T when you are going to NU engineering school. I had to keep my plan until the end of 2008 and now it's only 4 months away.

Get no reception in Tech or in Norris. Seems like only Verizon or Sprint users get anything inside the building.
