The entire block south of popular to quince and east to Mt. Moriah has poor reception, I can drive across north to Popular and get 5 bars. Dr.south on estate one block and have 0 bars.

I don't understand the issues. I have excellent coverage throughout the city. Of course, reception decreases when in certain buildings, etc. but that is expected. I also have traveled extensively (i.e. Minneapolis, New York City, Kentucky, Atlanta, etc.) and always have good coverage. I even got Edge coverage when out in the country in Kentucky and was 15 miles from any town and 45 miles from a large city. Tha is amazing.

My service is HORRIBLE with AT&T! All my coe workers and family say it too! Yesterday 13 coe workers switched to Verizon and have full service and 3G service too. My iPhone switches from 3G with 0-1 bar to EDGE with 2 bars. My calls always drop and data is slow. They have the Tour and there data is fast. Im moving my whole family to Verizon today. This is stuipd AT&T. Verizon here I come!

I hardly ever have reception, 75% of my calls get dropped, and WiFi never works. I can't stand ATT.

AT&T service in Memphis is still pathetic, especially since the upgrade from iPhone 3G to 3GS. OS 3.0 has killed my ability to use Wifi, so I have to "rely" on my 3G service (which is basically non-existent). I haven't had much problem using 3G in the downtown Memphis area, but out East in the burbs it is absolutely horrible. I advise against AT&T and I myself am looking into switching to Verizon. I just wish they had the iPhone... I'm spoiled to it now!

I show a lot of bars - but have a lot of dropped calls - (a lot) - and alot of error in connection or Net work busy. I have had good service for about 14 years but poor quality in last several months with no explanation. I use for business and it is not working - am having to look for alternative.

service is pretty reliable have have many problems with phones. not really AT&T fault

AT&T service terrible. Business contract; called them. They told us they did not have enough subscribers in the area to upgrade their (poor) service. Not willing to consider that an area with 3 hospitals, 2 nursing schools, optics school, medical school, high school, and about 6 medical office buildings (average 6 stories per) wouldn't have many residents, but lots of transient subscribers. Had to switch to Sprint, which works reasonably, or Verizon (works well).

Most of Memphis has excellent reception but not here unless I go outside and then I get maybe two bars

The worst reception since the take over of ATT - In my house usually 1 bar - at work 1 bar - not happy and I just upgraded the phones - thought that might help - it has not. Before the take over I was 4 bars at work and most often at least 3 bars in the house

We just moved to a new apartment and we get 0-2 bars of service in a 2 block radius. Even when we are at 2 bars, calls are spotty with drop-outs and the like. Most times we can't even dial out. We have been with T-Mobile for years, and this is the first trouble we've had.

cingular is pathetic in this area of town. I can't call from inside my house and have to stay by a birdbath in the backyard to get a decent signal. maybe its the trees but jeez one would thing that wouldn't cause the terrible singal strength.

Poor to non-existant coverage North of RR tracks on Broadway. Calls drop practically every time. Very poor coverage around Shadowlawn Middle School area.

Everyone with Cingular that has come to my house gets bad reception.

Airport area is always 1 or 1 / 2 bar. When is Cingular going to improve reception here? Other employee complaints, lots of people have asked my company to drop Cingular as employee cell phone personal discount and go with Verizon. Cingular and Memphis Cable TV must be working together...

About 100 feet west (traveling towards Bartlett Blvd) of Elmore Park on Elmore Rd you will drop a call, it is guaranteed. Happens on both sides of the road. Dead spot.

I drop calls 99.9% of the time traveling North bound, but Southbound the call breaks up and sometimes drops. Very frustrating. BIG dead spot. Near the 3-way stop by code enforcement. Add a tower of something.

I have used Cingular for 12 years, and it has been great, but for the past 3 months have had no reception at all inside my house on any cell phone. Everywhere else is great!

Neither party on call can understand each other. Calls are very spotty inside house, and outside. Has gotten much worse over past 6 months. Cingular has no answers, claims service is great. I have 4 bars, but terrible service. Every airplane or train going by interferes with service. Cingular has swapped my phone - same problems. Calls may get better in other locations, but has to be near an interstate.

VA hospital area extremely poor reception. Another area is Highland and some side streets. Works great everywhere else! Drove thru Mississippi on I-55 without too much difficulty. Occasional dropped calls during trip. I'm happy overall.

No reception at all on the first floor of my house, unless I stand by the kitchen window. Anywhere else in Memphis, reception is good. Note that Cingular's roaming maps are questionable unless you're on the Interstate. Move just a few miles into the hinterland and you're on your own.

It seems that I always have % bars until I turn onto Hacks Cross from winchester, as soon as I'm in front of the Fieldstone apts I drop whatever call I am on. Other than that I love the service. Hurry up an get internet!

I was on AT&T wirless network with the V60 (quite basic phone) moved to a new apt only 50 feet from 3rd floor to 3rd floor and then Cingular acquired AT&T. Signal reception turned from good (5 bars) to poor (2 bars), breaks during calls and call drop outs. Outside signal strength is 5 bars to 3 bars mostly, spotty reception and cell to cell handoff appears average at best while driving (reception gets damaged).

In the Memphis area, the combination of AT&T wireless and Cingular GSM towers really set this service off. The dual tower usage really cover a lot of area in Memphis and the surounding areas. I have had 3-4 dropped calls in the past 4 months of service and those are from within my home where my signal drops.

We just were switched from TDMA to GMS and wish I had all the bells and whistles of GMS with TDMA signal quality

I just moved and I have no reception in my new house. I have to go outside to make or receive calls. :-( Otherwise reception is good in Memphis and all around the Southeast US.

Cingular service is decent in Memphis. Some problems, but mostly ok.
