cingular is the worst service I ever had. Sprint and verizion was much better

Sprint installed a new tower about two years ago in this area. Since then, it is extremely rare that any calls are dropped in my house. Much better than wife's At&T recept.

The reception sucks here.

Moved over from Sprint to T-Mobile. The difference in coverage is like night and day. I have yet to encounter a dead spot in reception, I even have decent coverage in the parking garage at work.

I sometimes have reception on the lake side of he complex, but none whatsoever on the side facing Garland Rd.

I get better reception than at my previous apartment. Just moved to this area, close to Frankford / N Dallas Tollway. Averages 5 bars (out of 6), though it is at 6 often.

McCommas and McMillan This will mirror many of the previous comments about poor service in this area for almost all carriers, but Cingular / AT&T in particular. When I moved to here in 2005 my brother had lived here a while already and had warned me about the spotty coverage, but I didn't understand the scope if it until I saw it for myself... .I haven't had cell coverage this poor -anywhere- since 1998 or before. Bars jump up and down, but they are rarely an accurate indicator anyway. Coverage does seem to be worst at peak usage times, which would validate that the towers and their amplification capability are extremely overloaded. When that happens, every single connection to that tower suffers. Even when calls are connected, they never get better than 'grainy', full of pops and dropped words. Reception is so much clearer at my office (Arlington has better coverage than uptown!), I had to set up separate volume profiles on my phone for home and work. Looking at the tower map on this site, it's clear that there's a large area here with almost no (registered(towers). Bordered by Highland Park on the W, loop 12 on the N, White Rock Lake (or further) on the E, and Lemmon on the S. I don't know if it's zoning or what, but nobody seems to be in any hurry to cover this area better.

good reception inside condo

As I drive north on Audelia from Northwest Highway, my phone calls get dropped every time, especially approaching Lanshire.

I live in South East Dallas (pleasant grove) near the Balch Springs border I have Cingular / At&t and I drop 9 out of 10 cell phone callas made form home. Cingular is suppose to be "raising the bar", well that bar is still not high enough.
