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.

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 get great reception all around town except in my second floor apartment. If a call goes through, it is sure to be dropped. I wonder whether a different phone would help?

My Sprint phone fluctuates between 0 and 2 bars at home (Franklin and Gentilly area) inside AND outside. Calls are constantly dropped, causing me to get a home phone. Otherwise, my phone gets good reception everywhere else in the city and even on the outskirts. I have an AT&T laptop card which also gets very poor reception in this area (inside AND outside). The card gets good reception most other places until west of Laplace.

Poor reception most of the time. Lost Calls at least twice a day.

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

can not receive any signal at all in my home. all calls within about 1 / 2 mile are most often dropped.

Constant problems receiving calls, breaking-up while on call

April 7, 2007 Cingular in New Orleans: 'Poor reception or no reception. 'Very unreliable since one year before Katrina (that's when I signed with Cingular.) This is my 4th phone as I keep begging Cingular for one with better reception. 'Can't get a straight answer from Cingular tech help people about which model picks up better. I strongly suspect it's because the Cingular network and the negligible amount of band width they provide me is the real problem. During rush hour, during french quarter fest, jazz fest, carnival, my Cingular network is so busy that my phone is almost unusable, and I am not in the crowds; not at the events. 20 or so trys eventually gets it. Dropped calls? Usually. Wait time to report difficulties with Cingular phone support? 15 to 20 minutes. (monumentally frustrating) What is acomplished when I report these "events"? Nothing. How small is the sliver of band width Cingular provides me? Anyone interested in a class action against Cingular? Cingular sure is good at collecting my $75.00 per month.

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.
