Very low quality service outside buildings, slim to none inside buildings. They told me they were putting towers up at 168 / center and 168 / pacific with an activation date of december 1st, 2011. Lies lies lies.

AT&T Reception is HORRIBLE at my parents' house in West Omaha. I have to be in certain locations upstairs in order to get one bar. Calls drop frequently and I get absolutely no service in their basement. I recently switched from Verizon which I got service absolutely everywhere except where I now work in rural Northeast Kansas.

Calls drop... .despite my wife calling me several times, I dont get a ring... interestingly, she also has several outgoing calls to me on her cell but I didnt get any call (not even missed calls). I was with Sprint for 5 years before this and we never had any problem even in remote towns... but AT&T is terrible even in Omaha.

I have been with AT&T / Cingular for over 5 years now and live in south Omaha I have never had a problem getting reception in the house, basement or anywhere for that fact. I travel daily to Fremont and Lincoln and still great service.

I'm freaking am tired of AT&T's sucky, cheap, pathetic signal. I want to get rid of them so bad because I know Version Wireless or Sprint will do the job for retaining signal in the 68111 area. I am not the only one with the issue because all my friends with AT&T agree with me that the signal is pathetic. They need to amp up the towers strength or something because its not just my phone, I have a whole set of kids who agree with me at school that AT&T is jacked up if they can get reception with the other major wireless carriers. Also, the amount of drop calls are just another piece of work from AT&T. Yeah, AT&T says they cover 97% of Americans, but they do it with a reception of 1 or 0 bars with the letter E reception instead of 3G coverage! Even outside of buildings It still isn't solved! Lesson to be learned: AT&T sucks, get the other carriers for Omaha for your own good!

There was terrible ATT signal until mid-Aug 2010. The number of bars would vary from 2 (Rarely) to 0 (most of the time. From mid-Aug2010, I have been getting full signal (all bars full).

it kills me to return this phone. lucky to get one bar in my home. no service at all in my basement, but family with vz and Sprint phones have no problems at all when they come over. even with one bar calls cut out and break up... . how bad is your network? the best phone on the worst network. there is a reason AT&T pays apple the premium for the phone rights. they have to hide there flaws...

Five bars of 3G service with speeds exceeding 3Mbps, even in my basement. AT&T is rock-solid around 72nd and Military / 72nd and Ames. Can't say the same about GSM coverage in all of the Omaha area; the southwest metro area has some major coverage issues. Very solid here in the north-central metro though.

This is the worst service I have ever had. I would be better off using a shortwave radio. I have not been able to complete a phone call in over a year while sitting in my home. It may take two minutes, it may take ten - but your call WILL get dropped. My wife has an iPhone 3G as well, and has the same problems. We are selling our phones, and switching to another carrier due to the terrible network.

I live out west (156th and Center). Coverage downtown with the iPhone is usually pretty good. Coverage at home and west of that is terrible. Little-no coverage at 168th and on west towards heading out of town. AT&T map says there is a tower by our place and we are just out of range of it. If I'm in the basement, I cannot get signal. Upstairs, I occasionally do but sometimes get dropped calls as well.

i just started service with AT&T and have had no dropped calls 4 or 5 bars of service all the time even in my basement apartment with no windows

Apparently when Cingular bought AT&T all they took was their name. Certainly their service is substandard.

Trying to be dispassionate, ATT does not work in this area. It also doesn't appear to work in a variety of other Omaha areas. Ive lived in this area for 5 years and must have ATT for work and it has actually gotten worse lately, capacity? who knows. For giggles, I bought a boost / nextel phone to see if it was me or the Samsung phone I am using ( which I really like ) and the Boost / Nextel phone works flawlessly even in my basement etc.

I switched to AT&T to get the iphone... .Bad mistake! I rarely can make it through a call without it being dropped. Making a call from a building... .forget about it. I even have dropped calls while driving under a 2 lane overpass.

Signal bounces heavily, from 5 bars to 0 bars (but always holds a signal). Since 3G came out, it's been 1-2 bars. Before then, it was 4-5 bars. AT&T said it was a problem with the phone. Yeah, right.

I get little to no reception at home or in my neighborhood. I have to talk on speaker phone because my head filters out all of the signal. My phone also constantly switches between the Edge network and 3G, which means a dropped call every single time that happens. I know this is a dead area for most phones, but I would like to switch to a carrier with more reliable service.

Usually, my phone will have one bar but I often see "No Service". If I do get a call, it is very choppy and usually drops. I'm switching to Verizon once the Blackberry Storm is released.

Absolutely no reception. I have to leave the neighborhood to get reception

Coverage in the Westroads Shopping Center is very spotty. Can make or receive calls in some spots, but not in most of the mall.

Very poor coverage at in this area. Calls drop frequently.

Perfect reception, and I'm even in a basement apartment! There is a tower right across Dodge street. In fact, every carrier works here EXCEPT sprint. Go figure. The big complaint I have about AT&T though is that they are seemingly lying to everyone about their rollout of 3G service in Omaha. It was supposed to be here a year ago! What is going on?

Stay away from AT&T in Omaha! I had Sprint for 4 years in Omaha with no complaints. My work switched me to AT&T and the coverage is HORRIBLE. Calls ALWAYS get dropped at 144th and Blondo, which is on my way home from work, so it happens to me all the time. Also, when I leave work I have to tke the elevator down to the lobby. My phone loses all reception when I get in the elevator, and doesn't start working again for over 10 minutes. I can get halfway across the city in my car, and I still won't have service after losing it in the elevator. I thought it was the phone, so I sent it back, and got a new one. Same problem. It's the service, not the phone. And, if anyone tries to call me during this 10-15 minutes of no service, it rings once for them, and then nothing. They can't even leave me a voicemail. I've had several people complain about that when they call me. I wouldn't recommend AT&T service in Omaha to my worst enemy. My company has an agreement with AT&T, so I'm stuck with it. It's so bad, I'm seriously considering getting a another phone with Sprint or Verizon and paying for it out of my own pocket. That's how worthless AT&T is in Omaha.

Horrible reception in my apartment. Even out on the portch standing absolutely still. Lucky to get two bars half the time. Sometimes no reception at all and I'll relaize I have a voicemail from an hour or two earlier since the reception pops back in.

I have had the same ATT phone number for 4 or 5 years since living in California and get great reception in all areas of Omaha I got to including Old Market, midtown, 50th and Q, waaaaay out west, etc. The only place it's not good is if I go to Iowa around Crescent. I wonder why so many people are having such poor coverage? I have an out of state area code, but I don't know why that would make a difference.

I had service with AT&T and it had absolutely deplorable service. There is a cell tower 400 yards from my house and I can't get any bars. I switched to Verizon Wireless the other day and the results were drastic! With AT&T I got no service in my home, but with Verizon I have all 4 bars. AT&T does not work in the Omaha area.

Although I love my iPhone, I am considering switching as AT&T's service coverage is absolutely horrible. The only mistake Apple made with the iPhone was partnering with a substandard carrier such as AT&T. I have no reception in my house and have lost several sales calls as a result of poor reception or dropped calls.

Too many dropped calls. But from comments above, all carriers seem to suffer the same problem. Maybe Omaha in general has terrible coverage.

Overall get good reception. Only one bar in basement. No reception in most area hospitals. Reception in and out within malls. Happy with reception when traveling between Omaha and MN or Omaha and Dallas. Sometime have problems with voicemails showing up several days after the fact. Annoying! But, like I said, pretty happy most of the time and don't know if any other providers would be better. Like the GSM because you can by phones anywhere and just put your SIM card in new phone. Bought my SLVR on ebay new for a fraction of the cost!

DEAD ZONE 2 Mile Radius. I can not make or receive calls on my ATT iPhone from my office! 2nd floor, overlooks vast valley - but NO BARS... Any rogue call making it in, bets cut off.

Acquired my phone from Cingular about 2 years ago and was very pleased with service in and around Omaha. Right around the time AT&T took over, my service began to suffer. I travel Dodge many times per day and it never fails that I lose connection around 144th and Dodge. I also will receive voice mail messages from people that have called me, and my phone has not rung. I have asked callers when this has happened if my number rang or if it immediately jumped to voice mail. All have told me that my number rings several times and then goes to voice mail. AT&T customer service has been worthless in answering my questions about why service is worse now, than it was when I was a Cingular customer. I have been told that other than the name, nothing has changed as far as coverage and cell towers are concerned. I will be changing companies very soon.

Used to get a digital signal, now only analog and phone rolls to voice mail on analog without ringing. Started having problems about a month ago.

Dropped calls when calling from my basement apartment. Calls diverted to my voicemail. No reception on buildings near 24th and Burt. Really good reception outside Omaha area, west country side of NE, which I travel once a year. No use in the city.

No call drop from my basement apartment. Better than T-Mobile but can't beat Verizon.

Cingular coverage is terrible in this area. Constantly drops calls. Calls to customer service result in being told that I "should have good reception". My advice is use another carrier.

I had, originally, been an AT&T customer. Coverage wasn't anything to write home about, but it was adequate. Then, Cingular bought AT&T. Used the acquired AT&T towers for their signal, and my AT&T compatible phone was no,longer compatible with Cingular's signal. They said they would do nothing to help the situation. Unless, I wanted to buy new Cingular compatible phones. And, they would drop the remaining 3 months of contract from the AT&T account they acquired. I said no freakin' way. Now, Cingular is advertising themselves as the new AT&T. Will the old AT&T compatible phones work, now? I seriously doubt it. Line of site, stand outside in the elements, all to make a phone call? What a joke. But, the joke's on us. The bill paying customer with no recourse after agreeing to a contract, the provider isn't bound to.

I am always in the vacinity of 144th and Dodge and 65th and Maple... my phone always drops the call or the connection is so garbled I have to hang up. I've experienced this with Cingular and Verizon. My girlfriend has Sprint and has NO PROBLEM in either location. I'm switching carriers today.

I had some reception problems in this area but recently things have been better. I called Cingular and I guess there is a new tower so we get good calls here (even in our basement). But traveling around Omaha things are ok. When I leave the Omaha area into Plattsmouth or Beaver Lake, Plattsmouth is Ok but Beaver Lake NO RECEPTION at ALL! I use to have Alltel and when I had Alltel they worked REALLY REALLY good. I NEVER had to worry about a dropped call. When Cingular says they have the least drop calls they weren't in Omaha.

My Cingular phones work well in all of Omaha except for a couple real minor spots like down right by the Zoo. Otherwise I have full bars all the time, some of the people with Issues could be the phone they have I have the Motorola RAZR and SLVR and both work incredibly. I guess it helps that I constantly am getting the newest phones as well!

I was outside on a hill on top of a manhole cover trying to get a bar. One of the CU employees driving by stopped and asked if I was making a commerical for a cell phone company. Really frustrated with Cingular in Omaha. Plan to go back to Sprint. They were really good compared to Cingular.

This is one of my families high traffic areas and always lose calls in this stretch. Cingular admits they do nto have a tower in this area. Middle of Omaha!

Had good reception in my home with AT&T and TDMA technology. Since switching to GSM after Cingular bought AT&T, I've experienced numerous dropped calls. Cingular's TV commercials showing superior coverage (more bars) are a painful joke. I now use an Internet phone service called Skype from my home.

Hard to get 5 bars anywhere in Omaha area, even with several bars reception is poor. 9 out of 10 calls are dropped after only a few minutes... never get to say "Good Bye". I was with Cingular in California and had GREAT reception almost everywhere and never remember having calls dropped. VERY disappointed with the service here.

Switched from Sprint to Cingular in an attempt to get better service... what a mistake, they both suck!

Very poor reception with frequent dropped calls as soon as you go west past 144th Street.

Poor reception in my house. Either very choppy and lots of static, or call are just dropped.

Very poor reception, especially in my house. Have to go outside to use phone.

Loose signal many times. Esp loose signal in Millard Park. Have been told there would be improvement, NOTHING! Can't wait for contrat to end, going back to ALLTEL!

Sometimes, the bars in this area go from 1 to 3bars! Sometimes, you can't hear anything, then the bars will come back and you can hear again. I never get to the 5th bar until I get to major areas: anywhere within a mile radius of the Interstate, 144th and Center area (Cingular store nearby), near the midtown Cingular store on 76th and Dodge, 108th and Q (my work is in that area) has ALL of the bars ALL of the time! My friend that lives down the street has Sprint and gets 5 bars all the time! But, I like Cingular..they just need to improve the network in the Omaha Metropolitan Area.

0 or 1 bars in and around the mall. If you can place or receive a call, you'll never be able to finish it while you're in the mall.

It is nearly impossible to get any reception at the bottoms of hills, frequent dropped calls. This is my 2nd Cingular phone and it's the same way.

BAD reception of Cingular GSM. It was much better when it was ATT GSM. Fairly typical across Omaha, bad here!

Have an old TDMA phone and reception constantly bounces up and down and is non-existant in several places in my home. I assume it is better with GSM. I would not recommend Cingular TDMA in this area, though I have had excellent service with them elsewhere.

No recpetion at home at 156th and Harrison or in office at 72nd and mercy. Frequent drops. 84th St.drops. Interstate Drops. 132nd and Harrison drops. SMT5600 better than mpx flavor.
