my phone worked better in the state of Oregon than it does here. Funy, seeing that that map shows complete red for MN-- and not for Oregon.

4 Out of 5 (4 stars) | Kowalskis Near Diamond Lake, Minneapolis, MN 55417 |

Moved from29th Ave which was very bad indoors and out. Now much better. Outside is great and indoors at least I don't have to walk around too much to find a "good spot". Calls often drop on Portland Ave and 66th St. near Vets Park in Richfield. Overall, pretty good.

1 Out of 5 (1 star) | 37th and Bryant Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN 55409 |

I have been so disappointed in my cell coverage since I moved to this location. I rated it as a 1, but half the time it's at 0. I used to live in downtown Mpls, and I never even considered having a lack of reception here. Since day one it has been absolutely horrible. Over the summer, I had calls that would literally drop every few seconds. I ended up getting a landline just so I can talk on the phone at home. When my contract runs out, I do not think I will renew my service with AT&T. I just think it is ridiculous to not be able to get service from a major carrier in a metropolitan area. Especially considering what I am paying each month and that friends with cheapo prepay phones get excellent coverage here.

Have had Verizon for years and just in the last month have had terrible reception with many dropped calls in Uptown. Can't figure out what's changed as the phone has been with me for 6 months and previous phones were pretty dated yet still had good reception.

I have terrible service in my home 1 block east of 9 mile creek on 67th. At my office I cannot finish a phone call ( 169 and Valley View) I am completely frustrated all the time.

Have great reception indoors and out. Don't have any problems until I try to make a change to the existing contract, but what company dose not? Try going to Eden Prairie store by the mall in the daytime, not afternoon. There are no perfect phone company's so don't expect perfect service.

T-Mobile

5 Out of 5 (5 stars) | 36th St. | Bryant Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55409 |

I always get great reception. I've been with T-Mobile for three years and I've only had a few minor problems. I suspect it has more to do with my phone than T-Mobile, but I have no way of knowing since I've never used another carrier. I have a buddy who lives across the street who's with AT&T, and his reception is great too. He also owns a Razr. Most of our other neighbors complain constantly about the "lousy" coverage in our neighborhood. The people across the street just switched from AT&T to Verizon and their reception still sucks. I'm pretty sure the phone makes the biggest difference.

1 Out of 5 (1 star) | Central Ave. | Lowry, Minneapolis, MN 55418 |

Cingular in this area is terrible. Since they made the switch it's been wretched. I am fortunate to get 1 bar in my own house. Certainly nothing in the basement. If I go stand out in the street I will get a max. of 3 bars. Very disgruntling. Customer service with Cingular is also very frustrating. DON'T USE AT&T!

Love my iPhone -- hate the service. AT&T is unbelievably bad here in Linden Hills. I drop calls every five minutes, even when I am standing outside not moving, and away from any trees or overhangs. Lord help me if I am talking to another AT&T customer, as I have had as many as seven drops in five minutes with a friend who also has AT&T. Here is the thing. I am supposedly in AT&Ts best coverage area. Not their better coverage area, or their good coverage area, but their best coverage area. I can only wonder what those other coverage areas would be like. I suggest that if you live around here, you look to another provider.

Sprint has worked very well for me in the Twin Cities over the past five years. The coverage is equal to or better than Verizon much of the time, but cheaper for more minutes. People complaining with T-Mobile and ATT: it is because those networks are GSM which has a weaker signal by design, and thus has more trouble getting into buildings or traveling long distances. For GSM customers, you must be close to a tower to receive truely good reception. CDMA is what Sprint (but not Nextel - IDEN Network), Verizon, and Qwest (Uses Sprint's network) use for their networks.
