I've been very happy with the service, even in the basement it works well for calls and data.

I estimate that about one in ten calls I make will not be dropped. AT&T really sucks out there. I can be holding the phone perfectly still and in less than a minute it will show full bars, then one bar, then 3 bars, then no network coverage, then full bars. It's not the phone because other people with the same network have the same problem in the same area

I need to stand by my driveway or window to get reception. I called AT&T to complain and they said there's nothing they can do about it. They didnt even want to try to test or adjust anything. They just said thats the way it is. Kind of irritating.

T-Mobile reception here is awful. I work from home and my employer provides me with a T-Mobile phone. Reception disappears for hours during the day, especially between 8-10 am, and 3:30-6 pm. T-Mobile claimed the problem was the phone, so purchased a new phone but there was no improvement. Voicemails can be delayed for hours, so I use a landline to check messages every hour. To make things worse, sometimes instead of going to voicemail, customers have heard the message "The number you are trying to reach is not in service". One customer joked that we must not be paying our phone bills. My personal phone is US Cellular, and reception on my phone is good at this location, except in the basement on my kids Razrs.

We've been with Cingular well before the AT&T merger. Never dropped a call in 4 years: in SE Wisconsin, Chicago or Palatine Schaumburg area. Have been dropping calls steadily over last year to the point we have to switch. Ive been with AT&T since the 70's on my landline / mobile and that's starting to lose reception too. Hope it's not where we are but why would both the cells and landline work until this last year or so? It's a shame, I really really liked the Cingular service... .I'm guessing the landline is just mechanical but don't know.

Sprint reception is rotten on West Palatine. Verizon works OK. I am a corporate cell phone buyer and have a choice on who I use. I will no longer recommend Sprint because of the complaints that I receive.

Dropped calls all the time. Can't call from inside the house - have to go outside. Have contacted customer service numerous times and they tell me I should have good reception. Ha!

Reception is outstanding - even indoors. It's great to be able to use my mobile phone without worry at home again!

Good signal strength, No dropped calls and No breaking of voice.

I can't stand T-Mobile reception in the palatine area. I have never received more dropped calls compared to any other carrier (and I've had them all!) Outside reception is Average at Best. Inside reception- Forget About it!
