T-Mobile

I have had T-Mobile for about a month now. So far regardless of where I go in the Tulsa area Ive gotten full bars.

US Cellular

US Cellular is awesome. Great coverage all over tulsa, catoosa, BA, all the way north to grand lake, all the way west to OKC, south to texas, and even though they dont cover talaquah and ATT does - I get better service out east than my friends with ATT !

T-Mobile

I there is a cellphone tower within a mile. I used to have near perfect reception in my house on US cellular, however, on T-Mobile I must go upstairs to get shoddy reception at best; downstairs is pointless.

US Cellular

Works for me. Also get great reception at Grand Lake (Shangri La area)

AT&T

Since switching to AT&T from Sprint, I get dropped calls all the time. Sometimes, a voice mail will magically appear without my phone ever telling me someone called. Their customer service is better than Sprint, but the actual phone service is horrible. The only good thing is I hardly ever get 0 bars, even works in elevators.

US Cellular

Good signal in and around Tulsa - no signal towards NE oklahoma (jay, grand lake area). Don't recall any dropped calls. Good customer service. Behind the times phones / plans / and features. Solid service all around though. Probably switching to a more "modern" provider.

T-Mobile

I just don't have a problem with T-Mobile, I have been with them for 12+ years, since they were Voicestream. Very Very few dropped calls if any. I see one or two other people complain, I just wonder if it isn't their phone of choice. No idea why the person at 13th and Delaware is having problems. Maybe check and see who has towers around there. No company is perfect so I give T-Mobile a 4 out of 5

Alltel

I am soon moving to the area from Ohio. I have spent a lot of time in Tulsa,Ok. with my Alltel plan, that even with 10 free #"s on the "my circle" plan, I still go close to the edge of my 900 minute plan (so I'm saying I use my phone a lot), I've driven throughout the downtown area, down to Broken Arrow, Okmulgee, up to Owasso, Sand Springs and up through Claremore (not to mention the drive from Ohio). I am so pleased with my Alltel service that I'm trying to find a prefix available that will allow people in Tulsa to call me without it being long distance, I don't want to switch. One other point that people a lot of times fail to understand: Your signal can be directly affected by the model of phone you're using (no matter what carrier you have)! So do your homework!

T-Mobile

i just switched and drop calls all the time! I had a different phone that did not work at all, this one is barely useable

T-Mobile

Great reception now, with new tower behind gas station at 101 and sheridan I can talk from here through jenks on to hwy 75 to past downtown and never drop calls.

Sprint

Perfect reception and broadband like download speeds from this location! Sprint ROCKS!

Nextel

We have had Nextel for over 10 years and I am fully disgusted with the increase in dropped calls in the Tulsa area. I can barely get through a conversation anymore. My son told me that my calls to him drop more often than anyone he talks to. We have kept Nextel for the walkie-talkie feature... but it is not worth it. I'm done. I'm buying out.

T-Mobile

More than 50 percent of the time when I attempt to make a call on my cell phone from my home / office I get a " No Network Coverage". The signal strength bar is 1 at best. The T-Mobile representative says" our computer shows that you have coverage in that area, there is nothing we can do." June 19, 2007 6:30 PM "No Network Coverage" 7:00 PM ditto 8:00 PM ditto, 10:19PM ditto, 6-20-07 1223 AM ditto, 9:10 AM ditto, 10:17 ditto, 10:56 AM ditto. This is typical since contracting for service on May 5, 2007. T Mobile service so far sucks.

Sprint

Get this, in order for me to use my phone inside my house I must stand in the corner at the back door like a 5 year old in time out to use my phone. In June I'm switching to T- Mobile. Sprint loose.

T-Mobile

I get great reception in many areas of Tulsa Oklahoma, although there are several pockets within the city where my T-Mobile goes completely dead, or I drop phone calls. I never had this problem while living in Oklahoma City unless I travelled outside of the city limits. T-Mobile is terrible for any travel in rural areas. T-Mobile is terrible when it comes to dropped phone calls and many, many, many pockets of no reception. I have been told by customer service that the problem was my cell phone in the past, I switched to my current cell phone and still have the same problems.

US Cellular

I've been with US Cellular they were my first provider and from the service all my friends have from other providers. I'll never switch. 10 year customer.

AT&T

Reception at this intersection is awful. I actually have no reception inside the Tulsa Spine and Specialty Hospital.

T-Mobile

I had Cingular with no coverage and now I have T-Mobile with no coverage. Does anyone know of a good cell phone company with coverage.

Verizon

Verizon Wireless is now in The Greater Tulsa Area. Coverage is good throughout the area and getting better all the time. There is a kiosk store inside Circuit City on 71st.

US Cellular

I'll stick with US Cellular. I've been a customer for seven years. From the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in TN to the Peaks of the Olympic Mountains in Washington State I have been tracked down by family and friends. I appreciate the execellent service and to be honest the only way I can be sure I'm not going to be disturbed by a call is to turn the darn phone OFF. US Cellular customer service has been excellent over the years with only one young clerk in a store that needed to check her attitude. Over

US Cellular

us cellular regularly drops calls at our shop. We use three cell phones and all drop half the calls.

US Cellular

I have been with US Cellular for years I've never had a service that is so dependable. I don't have to worry about my signal. It's always good.

Verizon

Verizon came to Tulsa on Thanksgiving and reception is great. Much better than running on extended network on U.S. Cellular. No dropped calls any more and high speed broadband EV-DO is available everywhere I've tried since thankgiving 06

AT&T

Cingular has been bad for many years in this area. ATT was better but not much. Dropped calls and missed calls. Sometimes I feel like I am in the Cingular commercials - but they are telling me I won't have this problem with Cingular>>>

AT&T

Dropped calls have increased since merger. No reception on Hwy. 75 between I-44 and the Creek turnpike. No reception on Yale between 85th and 91st. For every call I make or take while I'm driving, about 1 / 2 of them end up dropping. I'm not kidding. I had fewer dropped calls ten years ago with AT&T than I have now. You would think that in ten years that competition alone would make service improve. Hasn't happened with Cingular. Every time I make a call I have to preface the conversation with: "I might lose you because I'm on my cell phone." Cingular blows.

Sprint

Exceptional service downtown on the ground, in the elevator, or on the 40th floor. I live in the Battle Creek area and I also get perfect service at home. We dropped our land line in favor of our mobiles.

AT&T

when AT&T "bought out" Cingular they sold out all the towers I know so many people who where with AT&T that where so happy switched and now there under contract and customer service either says I cant help you and your stuck or sorry we get calls about this all the time and they wont tell us whats wrong. Most every one I kno that had AT&T blame Cingular but the truth is AT&T owns like 70% stock in Cingular so for what ever reason except to make billions by tricking all there customers into switching I dunno but they have "the most dropped calls" "not the fewest"

T-Mobile

Don't have many problems at all in South Tulsa or even driving around Tulsa. I work at St. Johns Hospital and some of my friends have much better reception than I do. I have to walk out to the open area of the parking garage to get bars, I don't get any bars in the hospital. My phone is older and I plan on upgrading. I go back and forth between upgrading and changing companies to either Sprint or Cingular. I also want reception in Mexico. So any suggestions, please post away!

AT&T

I work for Sprint at the City Plex Towers and have access to the mapping tools that show coverage for any area. I know for a fact that Tulsa's Sprint coverage is horrible. In addition, Sprint is the only carrier to outsource its Customer Support to the Phillipines and India. I would not use Sprint if someone payed me. I have Cingular. To put the difference in signal reception in perspctive, I work in the 20 story tower, 14th floor, and have full signal in each of the 3 towers. The Sprint LG 325 on the other hand, does not pick up 1 bar. So, between the GSM phone and the CDMA phone, you have a difference of full signal strength and no signal strength. And to the people posting about AT&T using Cingular towers, AT&T used TDMA, not GSM. The towers are not the same. That's why Cingular required you to swap to Cingular. Thy're getting rid of TDMA. Also, my manger has Tmobile, and his T-Mobile signal indoors, 12-15 stories up, has about 3 bars normally. The other day, he lost his T-Mobile signal completely and picked up my Cingular signal! This goes to show that even between carriers using the same network type, there are differences, and it depends on that carrier's network whether or not you get good reception.

US Cellular

I have awesome reception in the Tulsa area. I have had my phone for over a yr an it is still going strong... unlike other phones I have had with diff service providers US CELLULAR is awesome and has the best customer service ever... .
