I get amazing reception in New Orleans with Alltel. I rarely ever have had less than two bars anywhere and dropped calls are pretty rare. Even inside an old shotgun house with solid cypress planks in the wall (where my Tracfone that used AT&T gsm and another before that that used t-mobile's networks couldn't ever get a call inside the house, plus it's right next to another similar shaped house) my Alltel cdma phone can get and receive calls reliably.

calls drop every time on I-10 east going between tower at franklin avenue and florida and gentilly blvd. near havana street

Not even usable inside the house.

It seems better to throw phone while calling or receiving from at and t in my location. we complained to customer cares many times but they are not hearing. saying us to buy 199 device and have internet of at and t too.it was working very good before november last but now we ought to keep phones in showcase to see only.its totally useless and we are paying monthly bills to at and t for nothing.we have 2 yrs contract so are now victim of monopoly of at and t. I hate at and t but can not do anything... ..

The phone service is O.K., but the data service has been non-existent since the BCS Championship weekend. Dr.five blocks from the house and all is fine.

My home has thick brick walls leading to very poor reception inside. Outside it's only a little better, with problems like dropping calls when you turn your head. The only good thing about the old 2G is that the Edge data reception is very reliable: it's not fast but I always have it, sometimes even when there's no voice.

It varies from no reception to some reception and frequently dropped calls. Unbelievably bad. Can't wait to break up with AT&T and start with another provider. Anything has to be better.

Overall, AT&T is the most maddening criminal institution I've encountered in this city, second only to our institutions of public education and incarceration.

What in the world??? I live in Houston, Texas and my AT&T coverage is a dream. There were a bunch of dead pockets o coverage around New Orleans. Noticeably areas around the French Quarter, Treme and the Garden District. Using any navigtion on my iPhone was truly terrible. It was either way off base or couldn't find my location. I love my iPhone 4 but the AT&T coverage was lousy. My husband's Verizon blackberry worked better and had 5 bars majority of the time in New Orleans.

Terrible incoming and outgoing and transmission gets so poor that I have to walk around the house to find a hot spot just in order to talk. At least half of all calls are dropped which is incredibly maddening when you have made it through a fifteen minute menu and wait time and you finally get a person and... your call is dropped. My contract is up with AT&T and although I have been with them since the beginning of cell phones, I am done. We are breaking up.

Am I the only one who is not getting ANY SERVICE for my At&T iphone? Ever since Jazz Fest started service has been poor, but since late afternoon Sunday there has literally been NO SERVICE AT ALL from At&T wireless.

April 28, 2011 AT&T Wireless is the worst since long before Katrina, and provided particularly unreliable support for 2 years afterward. I'll not bore you with a litany of additional complaints: Enough Proof is that I get the worst rate of dropped calls and garbled reception when I am speaking with someone who is also on AT&T wireless. Hands down, by far. I'll have to sell my $600.00 Phone for $20.00 when my contract expires in November so I can bail. -Beyond Exasperated in New Orleans

I can't talk to anyone. Calls to and from other cell phones sound like garbled mush. Doesn't work at all during holidays. Texts are sent and received hours late. I never hang up on anyone because the network usually ends my conversation. ATT worked when I was living in Boston. They should be ashamed of their service here.

Evidently AT&T didn't notice that crowds of humans congregate in New Orleans on certain holidays. Our AT&T reception has always been poor in this location, but it's simply inexcusable that the organization wouldn't plan ahead for the obvious fact that Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras concentrate surplus cellular users and over-burden the already weak network. I'm changing. My out-of-town friends report AT&T is about as weak everywhere, but at least they bother to deal with rock concerts in Philly or Seattle.

Reception is very spotty. Sometimes just flat out do not receive calls or texts. The network is very unreliable around New Orleans in general. Would not recommend AT&T to anyone, their service sucks almost as much as their customer service.

No Coverage for the the last five years Suave road West along Jefferson Hwy. to kenner All carriers

I recently moved to New Orleans from Cincinnati. I was shocked to find that I had almost no coverage anywhere! Back in Cincinnati the coverage was great and I rarely had problems. I dont understand how they can still be in business with coverage this terrible! I dont want to switch because I love my iPhone but the love is quickly fading. I cant make calls, I cant get 3g, therefore I cant use any of the apps that make the iPhone great.

I have AT&T and get no reception in this neighborhood at all, att's little "mark the spot" app that they have evidently doesn't work either, I have been sending it in for a year of the problem, I have more dropped calls and less coverage than I ever have with this carrier... . APPLE could you PLEASE relaease the iPhones to another provider... .. PLEASE

I have to walk outside to get two bars and sometimes that doesn't work.
