Terrible reception.. like having no phone.

terrible reception- I have to go outside to make a call and even then I often lose the call repeatedly. AT&T is great, as long as you don't want to make or answer your phone inside... .

AT&T service was for the most part a mixed bag up until about June 2011. Now all of the sudden 95% (not exaggerating) of all calls get a dropped at least once, if not several times consecutively and the data coverage is absolute ****. It's also killing my battery making my smartphone's battery go from lasting roughly 2 days to now, a paltry 5 or 6 hours because the phone is constantly seeking and reconnecting to the piss-poor signal. I'm glad these bozos, who don't know their a****** from the elbow won't be taking over T-Mobile because I'm sure as hell jumping ship as soon as my contract is ending - maybe even sooner.

No reception whatsoever in my apartment. I have to walk 3 flights of stairs to go outside to make / receive calls.

No reception in my apartment

Vary from 1 to 3 bars. In conclution AT&T has a bad reception. I prefer to use t-mobile.

I have a iphone 3g, and I don't get reception in my apartment. I'm thinkning that maybe it's due to the age of the phone, however, I'm cautious about upgrading and being locked into this terrible service for any longer. My roommate on Verizon experiences no issues at home. ATT is absolute garbage in Boston.

Get good voice signal however, data rarely / never works in my office building which is a large building housing KPMG. Most AT&T customers have spotty coverage in here (variety of phones covering HTC, iPhone and Blackberry + some windows phones but can't remember which OEMs specifically). Addittionally, several restaurants around the area get spotty coverage which has proven very difficult when I need to head out for business meetings / lunches. NEED TO RESOLVE - this is downtown Boston and this buiulkding alone has at least 600 employees (~200 AT&T given their market share)

Moved from O and 1st St.had great reception there nothing here. Yet Verizon, Metro PCS and Tracfones work here. To make a call you have to stand in the middle of the street. Can't wait to get rid of AT&T.

I have an IPhone and love the phone and the service. This site should really stop company reps from posting false and misleading information. Its pretty obvious the same person from Verizon posted all the negative comments about other carriers on November 6. How do I know? Well I haven't seen three people with a Droid much less all of them posting comments on the same day!

I have had AT&T and an iPhone 3GS for 10 days. It's going back to the store tomorrow. I had Verizon for 6+ years and never dropped a call. I have 4 dropped calls in 8 days with AT&T. Completely embarassing. The iPhone is incredible as a device, but the service is an incredible let down. Switching back to Verizon tonight.

Signal dies all the time. Frequently less than 2 bars.

Half of the time there's no signal

Anywhere on west 5th street. Anywhere on marine road. Bought the apple iphone couple months ago. Could not make or recieve any calls in these areas. Went to radio shack and bought a $20 AT&T pay as you go cell phone and guess what. Works a lot better,... ... As bad as AT&T signals are, Apple has seriouly dropped the ball with their interior antennas.

wow, AT&T is lucky they have good phones because their service is horrendous. Verizon works much better anywhere in the country, and living in Boston, a big city, I am surprised that AT&T cant pick up their slack

Half of the time, I cannot initiate calls from inside my condo. I don't tend to get many drops when I actually make calls, but still. Appalling.

Have to go on my deck to get 1 bar :(

Usually all set at work and downtown. However, no reception in the basements anywhere.

Cingular's always been good in this area at the top of Beacon Hill, along with Verizon (except sometimes indoors). I just wish someone would post about T-Mobile, which I am planning to move to for a new phone.

What carrier works in South Boston????
