att voice - in and out; missed calls when fone does not ring but voice mail usually notifies !

I can use my iPhone 4 for calls during the day, but get dropped calls fairly often (something like 1 in 6). During the weekdays, 3G service is abysmal at best, don't expect to be able to do anything on your phone between the hours of 8 and 5 on a weekday other than text / calls. Weekends and nights aren't so bad. It's definitely an issue of overcrowded network while everyone is working downtown.

I have had a lot of trouble getting data downtown with AT&T... even outside. I work in a 6-story building with large buildings around me. Voice / texting works ok, but data is practically non-existent. It's really frustrating. I'm looking into switching to Verizon because my coworkers seem to have better luck with them. Perhaps the AT&T network is just too congested downtown.

One in three phone calls is dropped inside OR outside my house, even though I can ACTUALLY see the ATT cell phone tower from my driveway. Several people in my neighborhood have been complaining. Date of onset: 11 / 2011 and ongoing. Text messaging okay. Data / Internet crappy downtown. I have 9 months remaining on plan and I am going with one of those cheapy Cricket deals--reception can't be any worse and the price can only be better.

There are lots of pockets around the seminary, especially in Grinstead South housing. We have worked with AT&T for the entire year and their only answer is a web-based router that raises your electric bill and is not compatible with some Apple data ports. Hence, we have had to be happy with going outside to use our phone. We were informed that they have lost a tower, but over a year now and everyone here in housing has to use a router. It has raised people's electric bill about an average of $10 a month. It is sad that this website shows this company as providing "best" reception when we often get NO reception, and miss lots of calls and texts and messages. If you are moving to Southern Seminary housing, you may want to consider another company.

Three bars is as high as I get in the last 6 months. Not clear what AT&T is doing since all the Iphone releases but it has drastically dropped my coverage. I can text all I want, but dont even waste my time trying to hold a signal for a phone call.

NO matter where I am in the downtown area, on top of the highest building. AT&T is just terrible. I changed to them for the Iphone and regret it now. I never had any problems with Sprint in this area.

Signal strength has always been poor but dropped through the floor at the beginning of Dec. 2010. AT&T Tech Support told me I was only one person and that I would have to find at least 2 other people to call in and complain! WTF over? An enterprising attorney should initiate a class action suit against these thieves.

I get better reception in my house and outside in jtown than my friends do my friends come over with different services and there phones never have service and they drop calls.

Drops calls every time for the past year I've been with AT&T. I was with T-Mobile and never dropped calls on I-71. AT&T Network stinks.

In the 6+ years I've had an AT&T plan the only time I've had dropped calls is while travelling down I-71. The sound quality is good, no complaints. I have two complaints, AT&T appears to have one of the more expensive plans and a LOT of times I (or relatives who have AT&T) will not receive a call but then will be notified that they have a voice mail message awaiting them. This happens within the AT&T network, too. I'm looking into Verizon, but only for the cost of plans and features available.

Numerous dropped calls, both inside house and outside house. Service great at my place of work so it isn't the phone. Told by AT&T that I am within 1 1 / 2 miles of 2 different types of cell towers. AT&T not able to explain why reception is so poor here. In fact, while talking to them, call was dropped and they had to call me back so they experienced first hand the problem. If it was so expensive to buy my way out of the contract I would switch to a different carrier.

I can not make a call in my house or on my driveway, lots of dropped calls, call ended screen frequently shown, unable to call house phone. When talking over the problem at the AT&T store in the Summit I am told there are no problems being reported. We have 3 cell phone on this account and ALL are experiencing trouble.

In the highlands, my iPhone consistently fluctuates b / w 0-no reception and 1 bar with very garbled transmission. Don't even try to use the Edge network around here, cuz it won't work.

I have had Cingular for years. I had several other companies before that, including Sprint, and hated all of them for one reason or another. Cingular was the best, until that commercial came out. They had the prices, the service and the customer service. AT&T took over and it has been downhill since day one. The commercial came out before it went public, but AT&T has been running the show since then. Don't go to AT&T no matter where you live.

Drop Calls... At&t is Number 1! I don't get road rage... I get cell phone rage. I am counting the seconds down until I can switch to a carrier that will not drop a call every other block!

Horrible, awful, constant dropped calls and reception that actually hurts.

There is very little if any reception around this area. Very disappointing since there is a tower so close by... I'm ready to change carriers!

Are call are always dropped. We call cell to cell. My phon to my husband's (same type of phone) and we try over and over to get through. I hate this service and am looking to change. Thought about phone change and staying with Cingular but they have really poor customer service. I can't believe their commercials that say the fewest dropped calls. I get dropped or not through at all at least 15 times per day. I really don't understand because when it happens I have 4-5 bars!

Calls will not connect, the calls that ACTUALLY connect are dropped, and if by chance you stay connected by way of standing on one foot and remaining absolutely still, the call breaks up.

I can expect my calls to either drop or break up when I drive past this intersection.

Was having good signal when I got the phone a year ago. Signal has been getting worse in my area to the point of ussually no having signal at all. Have tried four diferent phones. Very very frustrating. My advice, do not buy Cingular on 40299.

For the past two months we get no reception where we live, about three out of every five days, on either of our two phones. The closest dealer told us they have a memo that the tower is down periodically. Its worse when it rains. They are apparently not making any effort to fix the tower. We will be asking Cingular to let us out of the remaining 14 months of our contract, and we'll post the company's response.

I'm less than 4 miles from city center and have -0- signal. Cingular customer service is very poor - no chat or email contact and can't post to tech support mb's. Website says to call in - BUT I HAVE NO SIGNAL! I also travel to other big cities and experience similar problems but none nearly so bad as when I'm at home. I've been a loyal customer but am ready to terminate the contract and move on, apparently to Verizon.

Almost no reception in this area. Have missed several important calls.

Cingular is pathetic. No service in my house from ANY Cingular phone. People come over and have to do the "Phone Dance" in the driveway to get any kind of reception. I've called Cingualr several times about this, their answer is always to power cycle my phone and try swapping in a new SIM card. So far this has been pointless. It seems even worse that I've had more dropped calls since Cingular started running their "Fewest dropped calls of any network" commercials. It's been my experience that Cingular has about as many bars in more places as a dry county.

Raising the Bar? More like raising my temper. I get dropped every single day for 2 yrs in the same 3 locations and I'm posting them here. I get dropped every day on I-64 East in J-town at the Hurstbourne exit. Reception is not recovered until well past the Blankenbaker exit. Cingular blows and I get dropped all over Louisville in far too many locations to post, but these 3 are the worst. My whole family is switching carriers as soon as the contract expires. I am tired of 4 yrs of dropped calls. They are the fewest dropped calls because everyone else is leaving. Only the poor schmucks living with a tower in their back yard remain.

I get dropped every time I approach the Watterson overpass when travelling I-64 West in St. Matthews. Ironically, I do not get dropped in the same location heading I-64 East. weird.

Using my cell phone on campus, in Old Louisville and downtown is like using a landline. When I get background noise - it's usually the caller's phone and they admit it. At home, Old Louisville - solid brick walls nearly 1.5 feet thick - I get four bars all over the house. On campus - in buildings and steel elevators - three bars and good connection. Downtown - in larger buildings - I rarely have a call drop on me. Except in second story (underground) basement of federal building. No bars there! Doh!

Reception is nothing between Jefferson County and Taylorsville. It is spotty in some places but no service most of the time. Service in Louisville and Taylorsville both are excellent. No problems.

Phone will ring and show I have a call, but can't pick up enough signal to talk. Often goes to voice mail straight. What a pain!

Drops calls in my apartment. No repeat customer incentives. Switching to Verizon

constant lost calls and signal even when standing still

Cingular is terrrible. period. I have the same issues with signal, dropped calls and dismal customer service as everyone else that has written about Cingular here.

Cingular GSM signal is terrible on Poplar Level from Gilmore Lane all the way to Indian Trail (over a mile). People I work with who use Verizon or Nextel don't have the problem, but any of my fellow employees with Cingular have the same problem... low signal strength, poor signal quality and dropped calls.

Reception was really spotty during ATT / Cingular Merger. Has been better in the last few months, but still there is mysterious fading and droping of signal while just standing still maybe about 5% of the time. Seems to be worse during business hours.

Reception at my home is all over the place... one moment it's great, the next my phone is showing "No Service". I've been in several models of phones, including a Motorola V400, Nokia 6010, BlackBerry 7280, etc. I've been in the cellular business for 17 years now and I can, with confidence, tell you that Cingular's GSM service in the area is absolutely horrible. Try T-Mobile. I also carry one of their phones and will occasionally swap SIM cards between phones to check reception... T-Mobile isn't perfect, but it much better than Cingular!

my wife and I had AT&T Wireless for many years our last two phones was Nokia 6560 on the tdma network even with few bars of signal they worked great if AT&T offered a better deal we could call up and say give us more minutes for less money and they say yes if you renew and if we wanted new phones they would send them and bill me on my AT&T monthly they were not perfect but they had good customer service since Cingular we have been completely dissatisfied our mv180 is very unreliable even with full bars many calls are garbge and lots of dropped calls I do not know if its the phone or the company but I do know upgrades always cost more and customer service is a hassle and soon we are getting rid this troubled service and trying something different

I have never not had service with AT&T and Cingular. The only place I ever have a problem is on Gene Snyder and I-65 and some spots in Iroquois Park

Cingular service in the louisville area is the worst.

Cingular is nothing but dropped calls in Louisville, and they have all of thes signs downtown claiming more bars in more places, yeah right.

South end of Louisville, Near the airport. Great signal and very few dropped calls.

Cingular stinks here in the downtown Louisville area, which makes no sense because they claim to have dozens of towers in the area. I can hardly ever send or receive phone calls in the area which really makes me wonder why I pay for the service at all sense I spend 10 hours a day here.

I have a lot of dropped calls from Cingular. I've had them for about a year now. The service is real spotty. In one part of my house it is impossible to get a signal. That said, they do a pretty fair job throughout Louisville. Not great though. Judging from what I've heard I would like to try Verizon, but not until next year.

Cingular's signal is terrible. Always dropped calls.

I'm a truck driver traveling to west coast every week and back. I have tried sprint, verizon, and cingular out of these 3 cingular gives me the best coverage, from coast to coast.

Cingular, esp. with Nokia phones, has excellent coverage in the Louisville, KY. area.
