AT&T 4 Out of 5	Humphrey St. / Pleasant, Swampscott, MA 01907	Mon Oct 17, 2011
AT&T 4 Out of 5	Used to get no service with Verizon - battery would drain since it was constantly searching for service. Switched to AT&T and it works fine. Conveniently (maybe too conveniently), there is a AT&T branch in Vinnin Square. Maybe they have a monopoly on the cell towers in the area.

T-Mobile 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: BB Bold 9700	Humphrey St. / Humphrey and Atlantic Ave., Swampscott, MA 01907	Wed Mar 30, 2011
T-Mobile 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: BB Bold 9700	Bars drop to none, and sometimes no signal at all. Other parts of town are actually quite good. Not aware of any carrier with a strong signal in the Atlantic Ave. Humphrey St. Had AT&T for many years, and they also had a dead zone in that area. Anyone know if Sprint or Verizon are better in that part of Swampscott?

T-Mobile 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: blackberry 8870	Atlantic / Humphrey, Swampscott, MA 01907	Sat May 23, 2009
T-Mobile 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: blackberry 8870	Have had better luck with T-Mobile the past three years than with the carriers my family had previously with AT&T qne Verizon. It 's now sometimes possible to complete a call without dropping. With the others, all calls were dropped before completion. Not much of an endorsement. Problem is lack of towers and proximity of the ocean.

Verizon 1 Out of 5	Humphrey St., Swampscott, MA 01907	Mon May 15, 2006
Verizon 1 Out of 5	Swampscott has terrible reception. I had Sprint and I couldn't use my phone at my house. Everyone raved about Verizon so I switched. I specifically asked the rep about Swampscott and was assured it was fine. Not so. I really can't use it at home because it is so erratic. What's the problem??

Sprint 5 Out of 5 Phone Model: LG-225	Fuller Ave. / Bay View Ave., Swampscott, MA 01907	Sat May 13, 2006
Sprint 5 Out of 5 Phone Model: LG-225	I have to agree with the last post. Sprint is the best bet for this area... .I have friends with Cingular, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc; nothing compares... .Sprint is really the only one in this area with "more bars in more places" not the others...

Sprint 4 Out of 5	Humphrey St. / Essex St., Swampscott, MA 01907	Sat Dec 04, 2004
Sprint 4 Out of 5	Before buying new cell service, I borrowed cell phones from friends to use at my house for a day to see what reception I would get because Swampscott is the kind of asinine town that won't allow cell towers to deface the landscape or whatever other ridiculous reasons. I tried all major carriers at hoem, AT&T, Verizon, Nextel, and a few others and NONE of them allowed calls either to or from my house and very spotty, horrible service all over Swampscott. Then someone told me that Sprint had recently installed a cell tower in Nahant, a tiny, upscale island just a few miles from me. The tower is right near the open beaches and is unobstructed with other buildings. I got Sprint and it works great both at home and around town with very few exceptions. NO dropped calls, no static. If you live in Swampscott, Sprint appears to be the only service that works.
