Verizon

Outstanding bulding penetration with LTE on Verizon.

T-Mobile

I live about 4 blocks from downtown Houston and both me and my fiancé's phones will not allow any calls and when trying to make a call it just beeps and hangs up... and this is happening on both T-Mobile and Cingular, on both an I-phone and an android... Some calls to LAN lines will go through but just say sorry check the # and try again when it's a 100% known working phone #??

AT&T

I am unable to hold a conversation at home, I am required to go outside to receive one MAYBE two bars. I have tried to call AT&T multiple times to have someone come out and fix this problem in the area. They have not done anything for me and I am getting ready to move away from this company. They are horrible.

AT&T

Call quality / reception and data is grest in my area.

AT&T

The Galleria area has great reception for both voice and data.

AT&T

Most often have to go the backyard to have a semi-reliable conversation. Front of house to kitchen most often hopeless. Will try T-Mobile now that AT&T not buying them.

Sprint

Sometimes my phones goes to roaming, slow 3g speeds, no 4g coverage

AT&T

AT&T Sucks ! I live 15 mins to Galleria, no signal in my apartment and in my office which is right opposite to William Tower. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH... Cant take it any more ! I am switching to Verizon.

AT&T

Voice works some of the time. No problem with text or 3G.

AT&T

Houston-When I travel from the Loop to downtown houston. Ialmost all have fropped calls or no recetion at all. IDK, and it really bugs the heck out of me, its like the Bermuda Triangle of AT&T service-no reception

AT&T

Never get any reception here. Tried newer "3G" phones, usually get 1 bar, sometimes, if the planets are aligned, I can get 2 bars... The ATT customer service is probably the WORST that I have ever experienced... I don't have a contract anymore, but, I have stayed with them because I resist change. However, I only use my phone as a PHONE. Perhaps there are no carriers that remember this... . So Sad!

AT&T

have ATT and get 0 to 1 bar in the apartment. My previous apartment just north of Pearland had perfect reception, was very happy. This area, I cannot talk to anyone on my iphone :(

AT&T

I work downtown. I get no reception, ever. How does AT&T not have decent service downtown in the 4th largest city in the USA? WTF?

Cricket

Good service, great price, lousy phone for too much.

AT&T

AT&T SUCKS! It drops every other call. Seems like they know this and don't care!

T-Mobile

Absolutely awful 3G connectivity in this area. T-Mobile phones like my own(HD2) and guests with a range of other makes and models seem to indecisively hop from the various types of towers in this area, which makes for a sketchy at best internet experience. Calls dropped on a regular basis. T-Mobile service in this area is a nightmare. Proceed with caution.

T-Mobile

Sometimes drops calls (1 out of 8 or so). Data is slow though. btw Also comcast internet is terribly slow in the heights. So is Clear, when many people get on in the evenings.

AT&T

Poor reception throughout Rice campus, Med Center and now Upper Kirby. I always have to walk out of my house / workplace to receive calls, and reception is patchy at best even outside. Customer Service is pretty lousy as well, and they keep promising a tower in the Med Center "in a month". Lies, AT&T. I'm taking my business to Verizon starting next week.

Verizon

Never can get more than 2 bars - usually 1 bal - may go AT&T????

AT&T

Worked great up until around April 2011. Then went to one bar. Numerous dropped calls, etc. Makes me think they have lost a tower in this area.

Sprint

I had Sprint in the Past and I had to get another service provider because of the missed text and calls. But that was back in 2005. I am glad I made the switch back to Sprint because of all the providers capping the data or slowing down the speeds down to EDGE a.k.a T-Mobile! But over all I am overly pleased with Sprint. I have only had one dropped call and that was in the underground basement of the Science museum here in Houston.

T-Mobile

No reception, or a lot of dropped calls whenever you do get reception. I have been with T-Mobile for many many years, and this is the worst ever. I no longer have contracts with them, so I might look for something better if this doesn't clear up soon.

T-Mobile

Excellent Tech support (Thanks Tom) and customer service. My I-Phone 4 (officially unlocked - $1000 from UK - I just hate contracts) works great except the Data channels for 3G / 4G not compatible with T-Mobile. I only get 2G service for Data speeds. It should be OK for everyone if they merge with AT&T (not less than 1 year).

AT&T

AT&T IS HORRIBLE IN HOUSTON. I have both AT&T and Verizon phones. The AT&T phone is pretty much a paperweight. The Verizon phone works great pretty much everywhere, even in the elevators and the tunnels. Go Verizon!

AT&T

Nearly impossible to make and stay connected during a conversation.

Sprint

Signal is 3G only and Strength is a mere 28% in my office. Verizon has a much stronger signal in the same location.

AT&T

Very poor reception in a 1 to 2 mile radius or more surrounding this area. Dropped calls, poor reception, no reception and no 3G.

AT&T

Horrible reception, either no data, slow 3G or sometimes Edge only. AT&T says they have a problem but have been "working on it" for months now. It seems to worse every day.

Verizon

I've had all the big carriers... .AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Nextel. Nothing measures up to Verizon. Even in elevators in the Williams Towers, my services is flawless. You get what you pay for, and coming from AT&T, thats horrible service in the Houston Area.

Sprint

Phone had reception up until April 8th 2011, now I cannot receive phone calls or text but the apps (Facebook, Twitter) still work. I currently pick up someone from the Metro bus stops and it isn't safe to be without a line of communication..especially for women. Get it together Sprint or lose a 10 yr plus customer (with multiple lines).
