ATT needs a tower on the EAST side of Park City,I get fairly.good reception in the house of 2-3 bars but their tower is on the west side of town by 135 and 61st. Would be much better to get FULL 5 bars!

I have great difficulty sending texts from my office downtown, especially picture messages. My phone only works half the time (if that) for calls from my desk. I live 4 miles east of downtown in Crown Heights, and I can hardly ever talk on the phone from my bedroom. One of the most frustrating things is that my phone says I have 5 bars, but text messages still won't send and calls still won't go through. This spring my friends and I went to the rodeo in Stafford, KS. AT&T's service completely gave up halfway there, but my friends with Verizon still had full coverage in Stafford.

3G Performance is spotty at best. I consistently get dropped calls and call failed all day long. Forget about trying to use data in this area. For calls, I even tried 2G and still the quality is poor in this area. People I talk to get intermittent talking from me on 2G. A co-worker had a high level case on this issue, and AT&T denies that anything is wrong.

I've had AT&T in Wichita for a year and a half now. Their data coverage sucks in the rest of the state (although I think they finally just greenlit 3G coverage in Manhattan), but the Wichita area is great. I work out in Goddard, and there's a bit to be desired, but I think a new tower has gone online out there because coverage has gotten a bit better.

never had a problem with AT&T have full bars and 3g all over wichita and full bars and edge when I went to idaho haven't had a problem with them at all if living in wichita don't go with T-Mobile or Sprint I used to have T-Mobile very bad service here same with Sprint can't make calls inside buildings Verizon and AT&T are the heavy hitters here in wichita

I have had AT&T (Cingular) for 4 years now. The reception is EXCELLENT everywhere in Wichita (and I mean everywhere.) I also had great luck around surroundings (all the way to Oklahoma.) I am very happy with my cell service. I used it all over North America (US, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rica) with NO problems at all and with NO roaming at all. I also used my phone with great service in the following countries with EXCELLENT coverage: South America: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Domican Republic, Bolivia, Colombia. Europe: Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Findland, Norway, Italy, Greece, UK, Scotland, Ireland, France, Belgium, Denmark, Russia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Iceland. Middle East: Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Egypt, Sauid Arabia, Morocco, Turkey. APAC: Singapore, India, Malaysia, Japan, China. South Korea was the ONLY place I had major reception problem. Ciao,

I have had Cingular / AT&T for 11 years, while living in Alabama and now Wichita. For 8 years with Cingular, I don't think I EVER had a dropped call. As soon as Cingular was bought out by AT&T, we've had dropped calls constantly on all 3-4 phones on our plan (various makes / models) both in Alabama and now in Wichita. I've spent hours with customer service and been told all sorts of things, but nothing makes any difference. I can't afford to cancel contracts on this many phones, but will leave AT&T as soon as our contracts are all up and will never go back.

I had AT&T for more than 10 years, with almost non-existent reception at my house. After calling them to complain for years, and them promising it will get better soon, I switched to Sprint. No problem getting 5 bars with Sprint at my house.

cannot receive or place voice call. receive text messages but cannot place one. If you work in this area and NEED service I would look at another carrier!

I had to walk outside my work place to the parking lot to get a signal; inside my connection was completely dead. I couldn't even check messages. All the while Verizon users and Alltell, T-Mobile users were inside with no problems. I am going to cancel my plan and pay the penalty.

I've had AT&T (Cingular) in many parts of the nation. I've always had great reception. Wichita has been another story. I consistently have dropped calls. It doesn't work near my work near McConnell. I checked, and I have a cell tower less than half a mile away from my house, yet the signal is below average upstairs and spotty at best in the basement. What gives? AT&T needs to clean up their act, or they're going to lose a lot of customers.

Switched from Verizon to Cingular to get a family plan where all the family is "covered." Terrible mistake. Verizon reception was strong in my basement office, but Cingular frequently drops my calls. In fact, Cingular drops my calls wherever I go in my car. Verizon almost never did. Cingular billing is a mess, and hard to get fixed.

Absolutely the worst service I have ever seen. It is not the phone model either since we have had several different phones with them. Pretty poor service to begin with but in the last few years the phone has utterly become worthless. Can barely use it to make a call from outside the house and even when a call goes through and doesn't drop you only hear about 1 word out of 3. The other thing that mystifies me about all carriers is nobody promotes a phone that is a power house just as a phone. I would give up every feature that I never use just to get a phone that has good voice quality and good reception.

no problem here; works great, as does my wireless net access.

As far as I'm concerned, Cingular / AT&T is useless here. I want to throw my phone at the TV when I see them talking about "No dropped calls" and such like that... there are too many times when I go literally three HOURS without a signal. Drops off at will, in the middle of a phone call, or not. Completely worthless in Wichita. WTF man?

I have been with Cingular for 4 years and have been reasonably satisified with service. Have been pleased that when I travel to southeast Kansas, the reception has been good for the most part between Wichita and Pittsburg. The family plan with rollover minutes has been good. After reading reviews, may switch to Verizon as my contract is about up.

I have had too many dropped calls and poor reception times than I can count. Most of the time I can hear about every third word of the person. I have spent HOURS on the phone with tech support and though they are very nice, they make a lot of excuses for the company and after reading here I can see it's not going away anytime soon. We used to be with AT&T until they got bought out by Cingular and it went from great to crappy in no time at all. Supposedly they are changing over towers and it should get better, as they say, but it sounds like they have been saying that for a very long time. I will never use this company again as long as I am living in this state (which hopefully won't be for very much longer as Kansas is even worse than Cingular and that says a lot).

Reception flakey. Can be talking with someone, move 2 ft and drop the call.

I have been with Cingular for 8 years and the best coverage and the best service about 4 years ago before they switched to the T-Mobile towers. they said that it would make the phones better yea right the towers they are on now is about six patches on top of an old system from 1999 that was the last time any new equipment was installed. I want to switch carriers but it is $150 to buy out or wait another year to get out of it. if you are thinking of going with Cingular don't. oh and this more bars in more areas if someone finds this let me know because I noticed less bars in more areas.

I have found that the Cingular coverage is bettter than Sprint but I am still having problems with connections inside my house We also have a Nokia phone, Cingular service, and I have been pleased with it so far, we are thinking of getting the new Nokia flip phone since our 2 yr old dropped the Motorola in the aquarium. good thing, it sucked anyway.

can not get recption at lake afton or any one at boeing

This could be a problem with my phone, but I cannot get a signal in the twin lakes area

Had Cingular National Plan for two years. Sucked everywhere in Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Nevada, and now in Kansas. Dropped calls and poor reception everywhere. Amazing that I couldn't call someone else, but could call THEM while standing still. Never broke a connection talking to their number, but repeatedly was dropped on personal calls. I believe it has to do with their roaming contracts with cell owners. Regardless, I am off to Verizon.

Switched from Sprint, having been told GSM would penetrate my house better (near Friends U.) and give me better reception. Nope. One or two stripes in much of my house, and I get in-and-out reception with most calls (at least with Sprint, once I connected, I had a clear call). Seriously thinking about jumping to Verizon now.

Just moved from out of state and have had Cingular for the past 6 years or so. I have never had the problem with poor reception and dropped calls as I have in Wichita the first 2 weeks I have had the service. I am getting out before my 30 day trial period is up. I can't see doing this for 2 years! The reception is terrible all over Wichita for the most part, but the dropped calls is the most annoying.

If you make a call when you're showing less than 4 or 5 bars, you can plan on it being dropped. As an uneducated customer, I purchased a Cingular Nation plan (GSM phone) only to find out that the coverage map is so limited that it is worthless.

Cingular service on the north side of Wichita is a joke. The digital network doen't cover all of Wichita. Half of the north side of town is on the analog network. Almost impossible to make a phone call in my house becuase the signal is so poor. Had T-Moblie previous, with no issues like this. Have also tested signal from Wichita to Kansas City via the Turnpike, and reception is horrible. Can't stay on the digital side of Cingular, keeps kicking you to the analog network, and the signal strentgh there is practically un-useable.

Used T-Mobile for 3 years. Finally switched to Cingular and never had any dropped calls.
