Damonte / Double Diamond, Reno, NV 89511 Sun Feb 13, 2005

Just one single bar at home and three out of the three cell phones I have none works, it drops the signal after a few seconds of comunication. I can't stand this guys, in top of that the billing they send is wrong with more than $100 dollars of overcharges. The signal, billing and customer service all suck big time and I'm very angry with this AT&T / Cingular companies I'll have to pay the early termination fees just to get rid of these crooks and maybe I can sue them later. Avoid AT&T / Cingular wireless contracts, you will regret it if not!

I have been completely unsatisified with both my Motorola and AT&T. My phone consistently shuts off mid-conversation. It also drops calls regularly. Very poor in my opinion!

It seems that no matter where I go I get 5 bars unless of course I'm at work upstairs at one of the concourses of the Airport. It seems to be this specific phone's doing though, not the provider since it doesn't have towers of its own so I can't give them credit. Instead I would reccomend anyone going with Cricket (if you really have to!) to purchase this phone since it seems like one of the few that manages to still transfer data, receive calls and send / receive texts even where my coworkers can't. It works fine in my apartment which is surrounded by tons of trees and other apartment buildings. I can't even get satellite here and this thing works. But again, it's the phone, not the provider.

I have taken it to the shop off longley so many times. I get text messages, sometimes a DAY later! I am so over this phone, shopping for new company to go with.

Calls are dropped frequently. Many "No Service" areas. Customer care is very poor to non-existant. Customer support as far as technical issues and fixes is even worse. A lot of contractors use this "service" here. If it wasn't for that fact, I'd change companies... in a heartbeat! There's got to be a better way!

Plumb / Hunter Lake, Reno, NV 89509 Wed Nov 10, 2010

I recently switched from ATT to Sprint. While Sprint's service is better than ATT, it's far from perfect. There are many dead zones in town... if I am driving I cannot complete a call without it being dropped at some point within 5 minutes of the start of the call. I have reception at my house but sometimes need to go outside. UNR area is OK but calls are dropped on McCarran and always dropped on Plumb between Arlington and Hunter Lake.

t-moble for the most part sucks to know end. Barely a signal in the rattlesnake mtn area. I have to use t-moble's viop to make or recieve calls. I had Sprint 2 years ago same thing. The only one that really works is at&t. never tried verzion.

No service inside even when phone shows full bars. When texting all of a sudden message says "service unavailable"..deletes my text and returns to main screen... paying 70$ per phone for what u say... probably going to change service... also can not open photo messages at all...
