I've always great reception and can't recall ever dropping a call on my end. ATT works great in this area for me when I've seen other with USC / Verizon who have no bars at all.

Hwy. 40 from Downtown to 270 consistently drops calls.

Many times I can't connect with outgoing or incoming calls and have to move to a new location and try again. Or it rings and is answered, and then suddenly - silence! I am only a block or two from the ATT tower - is it possible to be too close and some building blocks it?

The phone is terrible, I get 0 bars at the house where my old phone would get 2. I was told by associate the phones are all the same, now they want $35 restocking fee to return phone.

My phone had great reception and I only had a few dropped calls! It took great pictures and could hold alot of info and music! I really liked this phone but my screen went out so I had 2 get a new phone! Cant wait till the day after Christmas so I can enjoy my new phone the Eternity 2!

I have 6 bars and full coverage, but a garbled, nasty reception that ruins any conversation. Ugh

Very few dropped calls. Network seems mostly solid even when far from home. Usually get full bars at home.

Constant dropped calls. Phone doesn't ring... the only know way for me to know that I missed a call is if the person leaves a message.

Great AT&T reception on my iPhone 3G. Outdoor is wonderful, indoor is pretty darn good as well. My building is a 100 year old brick building.

Perfect reception always. CWE clear for both phone and internet.

I lose calls all of the time inside my house in South City. Outside of my house, reception is better but it's annoying to need to stand next to a window or walk outside (esp. in the winter) to get a signal.

Can't use cell at home. Dropped calls. Most of the time there is only one red bar. Extremely aggravating.

I live on the top of a hill and still can not get any signal untill you drive out on either 270, gravois, or lindbergh. and AT&T customer service was terable, never use them.

This teeters between average and below average. I mostly get 2-3 signal bars on my phone. An occasional dropped call as well. It could be our building though, I don't get nearly as many dropped calls outside eventhough I don't get any more bars of service. At home, great coverage.

For having "the fewest dropped calls" Cingular / AT&T is absolutely horrible in St. Louis. On UMSL Campus I can hardly hold a conversation on my phone without breaking up and / or being dropped. Pretty sad since i'm in city limits! Get better reception out in the boonies about an hour north of the city! would not recommend for use in St. Louis city

Coverage is slightly better than Sprint, but still not very good. If you walk outside to make a call you can usually get between 2 and 4 bars within the Crystal Lake Park municipality, indoors it varies from 0 to 3 bars depending upon elevation (upstairs or down) and obstructions (how far into the interior of the house you are). It is definitely not "reliable" coverage, but AT&T / Cingular seems to be *slightly* better than Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon.

Reception here now is near perfect. I live in an apartment near this intersection. When I first got my phone in Jan 2005, I could not use it inside the apartment. I complained to Cingular on a daily basis.. Now there is a new Cingular cell tower about 150 yards from my apartment.. Works great!! No more problems.

We are in a fringe area. I get 3-4 bars inside my home whereas Sprint provided one bar or none and Verizon is very sketchy on two other phones in the family. I've not had a dropped call in the 4 months I have had the phone. This phone does better than my daughter's LG on Cingular, but Cingular seems to give us a stronger signal than the other carriers.

My phone is DEAD in the whole area. I cannot place a call at all. When I asked the Cingularr guy about it, he said there are a lot of dead spots in South City.

The South 40 is like the bermuda triangle of cell phone reception for Cingular and it's annoying as hell. -K. Chopra

Usually 3-4 bars. Quite a few dropped calls in the area. Doesn't work well inside the hospital.

I get a great signal wherever I go in st. louis. Having used both Sprint and Cingular in a lot of the same locations My v551 phone works much better in more locations than Sprint ever did. Also my battery lasts a whole lot longer {some thing to consider if you are the type that talks a lot and forgets to plug in their phone at night}

Absolutely no reception anywhere on South Campus, except for one or two spots on the front lawn where 2 bars can get obtained. The most frustrating thing of all is that the phone reports full service until I actually dial, then the bars drop to 1 or none, leaving me with a one-way or choppy connection when the person answers.

Signal is consistantly good at my house, and pretty much all over St. Louis. The only place I have problems is in my interior office building at UMSL. Even outside coverage is not great on UMSL campus. But, overall, I'm very happy with Cingular reception and plans.

I live adjacent to Monsanto's World HQ and according to Cingular, there are 3 towers within a couple of miles, but regardless, although I am near a window on the second story of my house, at best I only get 1 and sometimes 2 bars. When I had Sprint, I had 4 bars as a minimum. So much for effective blanket coverage of a major area.

i'm on a 1st floor of a condo unit on west pine i've always had a crystal clear signal with Cingular, 4-5 bars it probably helps that my condo is not made out of a brick, its mostly windows / wood / siding

Recently upgraded to a Razr and reception improved considerably. Dead spots in my home and dead areas on my drive home (afternoon: Olive-Spoede-Conway) disappeared. Very pleased with phone and service. Remember, these are not land phones.

I can usually use my phone at home. In certain parts of my home I get better reception. Living in the county, I should have no problems with cell phone reception, yet, I still have many dropped calls. Everyone I know that uses Cingular can have bars on their phone, and the call will not go through as if the network was full. Leaving the county, my phone works great in Shrewsbury, North County, Kirkwood, etc. Something about South County.

Very good reception (3 bars or better) most anywhere in the city. Have taken the phone to other large U.S. cities and to Toronto, Canada and had the same positive experience. Clear reception, few dropped calls. Nice phone.

Cingular has the worst reception ever... i never make a call without it dropping and better yet thats when my calls go out..call failed is my most experience. I went to them cause roll over minutes and they were GSM just like TMobile... I had tmobile... never lost a call always full signal..everywhere I went... i miss you tmobile... i'll be back

Horrible reception... Phone is worthless in and around house...

I get good coverage from my office in Clayton. However, I have gotten poor coverage from my 8th story apt in CWE and my apartment in Lafayette Square. The company has tried numerous software / networks tricks and I just happen they didn't cost me anything. Also, the V400 is a phone with numerous bugs. I only purchased it for GSM because Cingular reps convinced me my service woes were because of my old cell phone model (the first Motorola flip phone, but I forget the model number) I have friends who have had sucess talking freely in both my apartments. They are with T-Mobile and Sprint. Cingular is also on the higher end.

I hate Cingular. I live in a dead zone. My life is filled with dropped calls and crappy reception.

Currently I have 2 bars which is most of the time. Occasionally I have 3 bars. The only time I have seen 5 bars is if I'm right next to a tower.

I get good reception outside the building, but once I'm inside I barely get any signal. Have had dropped calls. It seems like Cingular doesn't have too good of a service outside the metro limits.

Outdoors I normally get between 4 and 5 bars, but indoors I normally get 1-3 and it can get very choppy. It's the network's fault (Cingular)-- not the cell. I love my Nokia. Overall, though, I'm pleased with Cingular's coverage.

From home I get 4-5 bars consistently, with no or few dropped calls.
