In the middle of River Ridge(a highly populated city in Jefferson Parish, there is 0 reception. I actually get a no service text on my phone. Lasts from Sauve to Harahan East bound
Long known to be a dead spot full of people, even much before Katrina, and still pretty bad. However, I think it's gotten better lately. I can now drive through that intersection without losing my signal entirely.
reception is fairly good in most areas of city. However, calls are almost always dropped in my neighborhood, especially in my house. There is an absolute dead zone on I-10 West over the Spillway.
My cell phone service is abyssmal! My phone would better be used as a paperweight at this point. Calls can neither get through, nor can I make them without repeated attempts (usually 5 or 6). I am new to the city and I am a female so having a phone is a relevant part of feeling safe. I believe that Cingular has a lawsuit waiting to happen when someone needs to make a call for safety purposes and cannot and suffers some result. Any information on getting out of cingular?
Outside signal is fine, but inside there can be problems depending on the house. For example, in my apartment (Carrollton area) I get no signal if not near a window or the door.
My phone never rings, yet I recieve voicemail messages that I cannot check. I never have coverage and rarely am graced with the privelidge of having a call connect. On occasions when my calls DO connect, they are dropped. I am paying way too much money to never be able to use my phone. It isn't just in the house, either. When I walk outside into the yard to try and get coverage or driving down St. Charles, it rarely works, either. I want to throw the phone away. Cingular is HORRIBLE! Don't do it!
Switched from Sprint because of poor reception, but Cingular is even worse. Most of my calls get dropped or the conversation is unintelligible because of the spotty reception. Reception is non-existant inside buildings.
