AT&T has recently started dropping calls around this area - Notoriously. I have been experiencing this for the past few weeks, prior to that it was fine. I've seen similar reports on this forum. Recently, my calls drop 100% of the time when entering this horrible dead zone. The zone continues all the way to (at least) trinity mills and Vail, and will occasionally drop calls when stationary on Vail St.

Midway Hollow / Midway and Marsh, Dallas, TX 75220 Tue Oct 30, 2007

Terrible reception in this neighborhood with AT&T / Cingular. Been bad for the entire 5 years I've lived here. Not sure why, as towers are located on either side of quadrant, but the bottom line is, coverage stinks anyway. Problem is, no one else has any better coverage here. You can be certain that the 1st carrier to give great coverage here will inherit a lot of new customers and as quickly as they can opt out of the old plan. It has become a running joke among the neighbors. Outside of our neighborhood, with the possible exception of Central at the M Streets, I have always gotten great coverage. But my wife can clam the same on a different provider. So, we are really just waiting for someone to improve the home reception and that's where we'll sign on.

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.

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 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.
