T-Mobile

My coverage has been very good. I’ve been with T-mo for ever can’t remember when maybe over 10 yrs. From phone call’s to data stream it has been great!

T-Mobile

The reception is great, but the data is almost non-existent. I narrowed it down to the tower at 770 Rt. 1 S Post Oak Ln. (A3e0112a) Houston, TX. The other towers in this area seems to be just fine.

AT&T

AT&T is terrible! I barely get voice coverage and no data when I am at work. My smart phone was essentially a dumb phone so I don't even pay for data any more. By far the worst coverage of any cell phone network anywhere in the world I have travellled.

AT&T

Calls are occasionally dropped. For the other person on the line to hear me clearly, I need to be standing outside on my back porch, or in the front of my house near the windows. Sometimes thos calls break up as well, however. In other areas of my house I only get 1 or 2 bars.

AT&T

For most areas in Houston to Galveston I get good reception. Typically 3-5 bars. Always streaming Pandora with no issues.

AT&T

iPhone through AT&T. Constantly dropping call even with signal booster. Tired of having to go outside to make a phone call. Many inquiries to AT&T. Never any improvement. Our business is going elsewhere.

AT&T

I left Verizon to come to ATT, and now VERY unhappy. messages take hours sometimes to send through, webpages either don't load or take anywhere from 15 min to several hours. I have gone to Apple store and switching phones did not solve the problem. going to go to ATT AGAIN to see what is wrong.

AT&T

Live Briar forest dairy Ashford area Houston. My reception is pretty poor in and around the house. Goes to one and two bars inside. Maybe three for a bit. I haven't pinpointed the problem. Subdivision does have a lot of trees and older brick houses.

AT&T

No or poor reception inside house with little reception outdoors

AT&T

Since ATT went to 4G LTE service the reception for voice, data and text has dropped to almost nothing around the whole city. The most I get is 2 bars on any of my 3 lines that I have. All my friends and relatives that have ATT also are complaining and most have already switched over to another carrier. I plan on doing the same at the end of the year. I have a company cell phone with Verizon that has no problems and it has 5 bars, other friends who went to Sprint also say they have between 4 and 5 bars. The problem seems to be with ATT. But if you call them and complain they say they do not guaranty service, so my question is why am I paying for service with them.

Sprint

Never really ever had problems with this carrier until they start in with the LTE system. Now I can not get anything over a very very low 3g reception at best at either home or work. Talked to Sprint rep over the phone... yeah like they really care NOT! Informed them that I am realy thinking about jumping ship to Verizon after 12years with Sprint! Not there problem!

AT&T

Reception so poor that I just don't make calls on my cell phone - they would be dropped anyway. The only thing worse than the reception is the customer service. The local AT&T store admits to a major problem in the Memorial area and tries to help, but in the end all they can do is call their service department who will tell even them that service in the area is fine. Can't wait to enroll my family with another provider in the near future.

Sprint

I have had issues with spring for almost a month now and they continue to tell me they are correcting the issue. It's time now for me to switch back to t-mobile. They have the BEST coverage for me no matter where I go. as well as I have never had any issues with t-mobile. I so regret switching over as I was trying to save a little money on my monthly bill. Live and learn oh well you pay for what you get.

Sprint

Good for phone calls but data network lacks strength. Always shows full bars when outside the building but takes a lot of time to load mails, maps and videos.

T-Mobile

Awful signal level inside my home since about a year ago. Contacted several times and went to their retail where they "updated my SIM". Still dropping or unable to place calls from inside home. About 5 months ago a CSR advised they were in the process of installing a new cell in the area, but haven't seen any improvement if they really installed it. Having checked coverage, I might switch to AT&T after 6 years with this carrier.

T-Mobile

I'm inside of a warehouse (in the heart of the warehouse) and T-Mobile has good 3g service outdoors, but the indoor reception is very low, possibly one bar of Edge connection (on occasions when my cell phone gets reception), I have to wave my phone and find a hotspot at my desk for a couple minutes to send one text message.

AT&T

Usually no bars. Seems incomprehensible that the reception is so poor in this city. I have had better reception in rural TX, even the Grand Canyon..

Sprint

birds live on the LTE tower might the cause of poor TOWER SIGNALS

Verizon

I get almost 0 4g inside my home and fair 4g outside. Once I get to the beltway reception is better. Cell phones are the stupidest thing on earth anymore. The primary function is something they ALL DO terribly by comparison to other technologies. They no longer make quality phone calls and they no longer get good reception. Before smart phones they were better. So I have to ask. What the hell is so smart about it?

Sprint

This is Summerwood Subdivision. Coverage is right on the edge. Sprint has offered to send some type of device to improve reception at my house, so we will see if this helps.

Verizon

Great carrier for years now. Anywhere I have been in or out of town with exception in Lafeyette..

T-Mobile

When I complain about no service, they said that I should get my subdivision to approve a tower. I am about 10 blocks from the T-Mobile store and they have reception. Another time they said they would put my address in for better reception.

AT&T

The number of bars of reception varies, but even with 4 bars I am unable to send emails or use my browser.

AT&T

I have complained since Febuary 2012 about reception and dropped calls. Last Thursday they said a tower is "planned" at Brittmore and I-10 but no one knows when it will be completed. Cell is my only service so yeah, this sux.

T-Mobile

No reception at all inside building. 3-4 bars outside. I have been noticing poor quality of T-Mobile recently to reacquire signals.

AT&T

Service is poor to nonexistent and AT&T will not do anything to help correct the problem I am having. Will be dropping AT&T for another service provider.

AT&T

Northwest houston has poor reception from ATT. Fairfield you are lucky you can even make a call. If you stand in just the right location and stay you maybe able to have a conversation.

AT&T

Inside my office building, I miss calls, drop calls and internet connectivity is terrible at best. Even with the phone displays 3G, more times than not, it does not connect to the internet. Things are better when the office clears out, like 4:30 pm. Sounds like the network is overloaded. Add some more bandwidth At&T. At the prices you charge, I should never lose connectivity.

AT&T

No reception in office building. Phone seems to be on Edge all the time. I am so fed up of AT&T now.

T-Mobile

DO NOT use T-Mobile in this area. it's a nightmare. I can't not use my cellphone at home or when I get close to my house.
