I live one block South of E. State between Perryville and Bell School. According to the AT&T map I'm in a "Best Reception" area and I can often see 5 Bars in the house, yet I have so many dropped calls I end-up calling back the caller on our land line. If I sit and watch the bars on the phone they will go from 5 bars to 2 then 4 to 0 and back up to 5 bars. Just for the aggravation I completed a full 20 minute conversation with my sister to see how often it would drop the call. It dropped 6 times in the 20 minutes. I have had AT&T for many years and started getting dropped calls about 2 years ago but it was not all the time. It got worse and worse until I "up graded" our old phones for new thinking I would have better luck with a 3G phone. The new phones seemed a little better but my home reception only became shoddier. I find the service so bad now I am canceling AT&T, paying the ETF on 2 phones and moving to another carrier. Why should I or anyone else pay the high premium cost of AT&T for sub-standard service.

Inside my home I receive 3 bars of service. Inside my basement I receive 2 bars of service. Outside of my home I receive 3-4 bars of service. I have been with ATT since February 2011 and thus-far have had very little to be upset with. I have an ATT WiFi Hot Spot in my home and only subscribe to the ATT 200MB service and have yet to go over the 200MB on the 3G / 4G (H+) network and speaking of never going over, I have never gone over my monthly minutes and am accumulating Roll-Over minutes. Does the service work everywhere? Does anybody's? If you answer yes, then you know you are kidding yourself. When the acquisition is completed with ATT / T-Mobile, which will also include i-Wireless, the GSM network in the U.S. will be the largest 3G / 4G networks in the U.S. beating out VZW and Sprint. New sites are going up weekly for ATT, and I am certain for other carriers as well. If you do not like your carrier, then simply switch to one that provides you with the service you want and or need. I for one am with ATT and thus far am 95% happy even after 90 days into my two-year contract. I would be happier if my employer would strike a deal with ATT for a monthly discount, especially since ATT has a tower adjacent to where I am employed.

We were not able to have any reception within the house. If we wanted to make a call, we had to go outside. We didn't know we would receive a phone call until our voicemail would tell us we missed a call because the phone never rang

I can't get a signal in my basement. I get dropped frequently upstairs. I have to stand by the windows or go outside. The AT&T signal here is ridiculous. I am seriously considering unlocking my IPhone 4 to get on TMobile's network. My family / friends make fun of me having this expensive high-tech phone, but can't take a phone call without getting dropped.

Love the Iphone. Dont really have any problems with my phone anywhere except at my house. Which is the #1 place u want it to work. Wife has Verizon as I used to have it. It works top notch.

From '08 til just 2 weeks ago service was poor at best but now suddenly there is zero reception in my home. I miss important phone calls, mail alerts and text messages every day.

Zero on first floor, not usable. Get a 1 on second floor if by a window. Works better outside on west side yard. Had to reinstall land line for reliable service. Was much better a year ago, but service has become much worse this year.

i live off vale and when I am in my house there is NO service! frustrated with a 2 year contract now!

According to AT&T's own service group, our neighborhood is in a "good" reception area, one level below "excellent." Apparently "good" means occasionally there is a signal for a brief time. Mostly, there is none. Love the iPhone, but the poor signal is maddening.

I bought an iPhone 3G recently without knowing that AT&T's signal is much worse than expected. On Highcrest from N Alpine to Spring Creek, bars range from 0 to 2, staying at 1 most of the time. In the house, I get 1 bar most of the time if I stay close to windows. Calls need to be made by the east facing window, or for better reception, out in the yard. Text messages are received as long as there is 1 bar. AT&T customer service explained the cell towers close by are being modified for the 3G network. When it will be up and running? Who knows? I may end up bringing the great phone back to switch carriers again if no light is in sight.
