I've had AT&T / Cingular since the 1980s, and have never had so many dropped calls or garbled words / bad reception like I have in the past 2 years. So tired of it! About ready to move on to another carrier. Come on AT&T! Step it up!

I've had SWBell / Cingular / AT&T since August of '99. Over the past 2 years or so, their reception has gotten worse and worse. I work by the state capitol building and live in Norman. On my way home (all interstate driving), I will drop a call AT LEAST 3 times, sometimes 6 or 7. When I complain to AT&T, they tell me to "Switch to the EDGE network". I don't pay $200 / month to use the EDGE NETWORK. Also, my husband works out in our county (Norman, Noble, Slaughterville, etc) and CONSTANTLY drops calls. Turning off 3G and using EDGE does help, but that's a sorry fix (excuse), AT&T. I really think their 3G service is just overextended, but they aren't trying to build more towers to accommodate more users. We're breaking our contract and switching to Verizon on the 15th, or as soon as we can get our hands on a Droid X. We'll take our $200 / month elsewhere!

Our reception here is VERY poor! I also need to find the "right spot in the house or outside." Probably because the nearest towers appear to be at least 2 miles away in any direction.

Very poor reception. Have to go outside to place calls or answer the phone.

Frequently only have one bar, lucky to get three. Calls are garbled and staticky and are dropped every couple of minutes. Cannot dial out at times. No point in even having a cell phone in this area.

Phone is basically useless when inside. At OU only get 5 bars when outside in plain view of the sky. Unless I have 5 bars the call is a waste of time. Very disappointed in the coverage.

My coverage used to be OK but since AT&T bought Cingular it's gone straight down the chute... I rarely get calls and when I do they are almost impossible to carry out becuase of the static and breaking up / lost signal... I'm seriously considering switching to t-Mobile...

Horrible phone service and even worse customer service. Can't use it at home, and I rarely have a call that is clear and doesn't drop. Also, they charge me with calls that I don't make, such as 3 calls at 3am to Tulsa, when my phone was turned off, charging.

I rarely have trouble getting any service, anywhere but the Stadium.

Outside is acceptable (3 bars), in my home (single story brick) I'm lucky to get 1. My wife seems to do slightly better with her Nokia.

Indoor reception very unpreditable from 0(No network coverage) to 1 bar. Totally unacceptable since the cell tower are just a couple of blocks from my home in Norman. Tried it with another phone(Motorol v600) with exposed antenna still get only 1 bar and conversation drop off after every 20min. or so during 7pm to 10pm. 5 miles toward the city and all the way into Edmond, OK I have pretty decent reception.

Zero to one bar -- occationally two. Conversations frequently cut off -- People often cannot reach me. Reception is horrible most of the time but can vary greatly within a 20 yard radius (especially on a hilltop). Indoor reception is unpredictable -- I get a lot of voice messages but the phone never rings and then I often have to drive down the road a few miles to understand what has been recorded.
