there's a tower at 36th Street, which can get powerful signal, even in basement, when getting 1-block fewer on Verizon note: there's no reception at Dining Hall in Grand Central Station

*Reception* is actually good. But almost every call gets dropped after less than a minute! This has been going on since before Thanksgiving - and customer service keeps repeating, "Yes, we have problems there, they will be fixed soon" and adding bonus minutes to my account - which I might as well donate back to them. Two thumbs down.

att wireless is the worst, next to sprint.... that's why att wireless the company is for sale!! good riddens, hope some other company can make it work.

Signal wasn't the greatest.

Good reception in my apt. Sometimes with outgoing calls (1 out of every 25 calls or so), the other person can't hear me, though I can hear them, so I have to call back and tell them I wasn't crank calling them.

I have no luck with my service in my apt. AT&T won't help me - and I don't know what to do. They suck. I got a Siemens phone yesterday and it won't work in my apt either. So it has to be AT&T.

What is going on in the ESB? There was no reception at all!

Love the phone, but reception sucks indoors down in the LES. So far, so good most places around manhattan.

Had good service for a while after (then) VoiceStream got its network together, but fall and winter this year has been bad. T-Mobile has lots of spots in the neighborhood (East Village) where calls drop regularly and where its hard to place a call. Midtown is a problem too. Otherwise its been OK in the metro area. Going upstate its bad - only on the Interstates and a few towns.

Zero to 1 point Reception in my apartment at 182nd and Amsterdam

The best reception. I never should have left. I've tried Sprint PCS, Verizon Wireless and, now, AT&T GSM. Sprint was useless. AT&T was better. But Verizon works the best by far.

It might be my phone, but I get almost full bars in my apartment. The problem is that I still can't get clear calls. I never should have switched from Verizon Wireless. Verizon has great reception here in Manhattan.

I receive perfect reception in this area. I think I am one of few people who is satisfied with their carrier service.

No reception what so ever. Call customer service, indicated all tower around area are down. No service for over a month

Have to move around until you find a good spot.

When outdoors, unbelievably clear. When under less than 8 floors of buildings in my dorm, it works great except in some dead areas. For some reason works on every floor of the Empire State building but not many other buildings with a lot of ceilings above.

Terrible! No improvement in the past year.

Reception is poor in this area (at least inside a highrise). In addition reception will drop to 0 dropping calls and returning in the next second.

Average of 2 bars. It's either a 1 or a five and often my calls don't come through. I don't get a message notification until I move around the neighborhood.

Reception is poor and the customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. Once you sign the contract they could care less about your problems. I've been waiting for my contract to run out so I can switch to Verizon.
