Switched from Verizon, before I had 1-2 bars and the calls dropped all the time, now I usually get 4-5, needless to say much better connection. I thought thought any cdma carrier Verizon, Alltel, US Cell, Sprint, etc should be using the same towers but I guess Alltel has a contract with the tower on the hill where as Verizon couldn't / wouldn't.

I don't get too many dropped calls. When you call and complain there excuse everytime is that they have towers down. Overall they usually have pretty good service.

Had the new iPhoine 3Gs for 2 days this summer. First the device is nice enough, it does everything well except be a phone. It sucks, dropped calls even when it has full bars. ATT signal is still lacking in the Omaha area. At home in Bellevue the iPhone had full bars and the internet worked great, but way too many missed and dropped calls. In the 2 days must have had over a dozen. Absolutely zero, nada, nothing signal in Council Bluffs by the mall ot Iowa Western. Will try the iPhone 4GS on Verizon or the Nexus One on Verizon gthis summer.

Got great 3G reception at home, but calls dropped all the time. Took the phone back after 2 days and went back to Sprint. ATT customer service needs some work also.

Ok, so occasionally, I can get 1-2 bars if I go upstairs. My mother and sister who have alltel... Perfect reception. When we called and asked about the inconsistency, we were told "there are plenty of towers, it just must be your phone." My mother has the SAME PHONE! Thanks AT&T. Really.

I've had AT&T now for over 2 years and the reception has been horrible the entire time. I had used the company before and really liked them, but for some reason, this area of town (Olde Towne Bellevue by the air force base) is just awful when trying to get any service. I literally had to lay on my couch any time I wanted to talk to someone and for random reasons without me moving, my friends would say I was breaking up so I'd move my head a little to the left or right and then they could hear me again. I went and cancelled my service yesterday and plan on trying someone else. I just can't take the horrible reception anymore and frankly, I don't care what their reason! It's a pain trying to keep in touch with friends when the phone is so dang picky. When I cancelled the service, I asked the girl at the store if there were a lot of people that complained about bad reception and she said yes. That should tell you something.

Little or no reception. Constant dropped calls. I laugh everytime I see an AT&T commercial come on "The All Over Network With The Least Dropped Calls" YEAH RIGHT! I used to call and complain but they do nothing about it, so I just gave up. They are the absolute worst. When I'm on the phone I can only understand every other word someone is saying. Thank God my contract ends next week. It has been a long and frustrating 2 years with AT&T. I'm switching to Verizon.

0 to 1 bars at home. Calls are dropped, static present, garbled voice etc. Cingular even gets frustrated now because I use only my cell phone to call them to complain! They can't understand me and ask me to call back on a land line. I tell them that this is what I put up with all the time, that they need to fix the problem. They claim they don't have any control over radio signals.

terrible reception or none. this service is useless.

1-2 bars when we get reception. usually we don't.. and if we do.. calls are dropped..even tried using Nokia phone... they said for 300 dollars we could be released of our contract. ther's a tower 3 miles from my home and I cannot recieve or make calls EVER! Cingular says if I can ever get reception I am locked into their contract even if it is only for 2 minutes at a time.. terrible company!
