Moved to Katy from Deep East Texas (abt 30 mi E of Nacogdoches) and love the cell phone reception around here. No poor reception (inside or out), no dropped calls, no roaming... couldn't ask for anything better! Unfortuately I will miss them, as they do not have a local rep here so I can't change my cell phone # to anything 281 or 713.

No problems with my Verizon PalmCentro. I've lived in Katy for one year. I've had very few dropped calls. It seems Verizon is the way to go in Katy.

Great phone reception, but I cannot consistently connect to the high speed data network for my aircard. If I travel 2 miles East to CR Blvd.and Westheimer Pkwy, then all is good.

Cingular's great. Reception in Old Town Katy isn't as good as it should be, but still no problems. Reception in other parts of Katy is excellent.

I get 4-5 bars inside my house, though sometimes drop to 2 bars in my kitchen. Call quality is great even with 2 bars. Rarely drop a call.

Having no problems here in the tall pine trees in Pine Forest one block south of intersection stated above. Reception clean both indoors and out. Haven't really checked if I get 4 or 5 bars but signal is good and no problems to report at all. I think the phone itself may have something to do with it as I have had problems with Verizon and AT&T in the past. This phone is a Quad-Band so it gets both analog and digital and satellite and something else. I always had problems with digital signals but never had problems with the old analog. Just something to keep in mind.

My T610 get 2 out of 5 bars while my 3650 got 6,7 out of 7 bars. I have tested Sprint PCS, Verizon and ATT GSM too. Sprint was OK but once a while has drop calls on the highway. Verizon always show full signal, but sometimes the phone logoff from Network. (Samsung A310). That means it showing Verizon Network, but if you call the number, you goto VM directly. The phone can not call out neither, the only way to bring back is power off and On the phone. ATT GSM just weak signal in my house, choped voice.

Go get the 3G MicroCell Tower for your home. Ours works a hell of a lot better now! We were also told AT&T is working on 3 more towers in the area.

Sometimes the phone cannot find a network (GSM)

Sometimes the calls come in and others they do not. Callers report to me that it rang several times and then went to voice mail but my phone did not ring and, all of a sudden, I get a voicemail notification.

since hurrican Ike AT&T service aweful drop call unable to connect due to network busy

In the beginning it was great but in the past year or so the service has been terrible. Perhaps it could be blamed on my aging phone (I've had it the whole two years of my contract) but I lose at least a third or more of my calls. It seems like I lose reception almost randomly. At times it will be great, some days I have to call people back 3-4 times in a 15 min conversation. That is rediculous for the company with the "fewest dropped calls"! Half of the txt msgs I get come up blank! Phone calls are always getting cut short because I (or the person getting hung up on) get frustrated and give up on the phone for the day. I was in LA a year and a half ago and it was almost the same story. I got my phone a few months before the hurricanes hit and the service hasn't been the same since. I think a year is more than enough time to fix towers! After I moved here, the reception seemed to get worse. I dunno about cingular. I've been with Sprint and their customer service sucked bad enough to make me switch to Cingular and now they and their lies have me looking elswhere. Cingular sucks.

1 bar most times. Frequently the phone doesn't ring, just takes a message and I get a notification of missed call later. Wifes phone is a Sanyo from Sprint, same problem.

Nice reception outdoors, but very poor indoors. Static and dropped calls if I tilt the phone in the wrong direction. And I get to hear myself echo too.

Just bought 2 iPhones. They do not work at the house, and driving around Cinco, never get more than 2 bars, The old Samsung's weren't great, but would work with some dropped calls at the house.AT&T better get their act together. THe iPhones are going back!

Here in the Seven Meadows area, the reception is pretty bad.. 1-2 bars, and as soon as I get on Grand Pkwy. it goes to 4-5... ... As of 2012 the service drops all of the time, it's like it's searching for a tower or something... ... not good!.T-Mobile and Verizon work better around here :(

My signal goes in and out randomly I never get over 3 bars of 3G then it'll say roaming or no service or it will drop to edge!-_- wish AT&T would do something... .. Soon I don't see why they wouldn't have great service this better be an excuse for a 4g tower coming real soon!

dropped calls all the time. Have lost business deals over the shitty reception. I'm fed up with this no service bullshit. surround katy with towers right at the limits of the hoa zones so it will cover inside. I do not see how that is unreasonable. I have better reception at my ranch which is 1.5 hrs to the closest town! that is ridiculous. they say it's based on demand and whatnot, how can I have better reception in the middle of nowhere in west texas where 10 people need service than in katy texas, a town that has hundreds of thousands of customers. total bullshit...

Personal cell is with AT&T. Work cell is with Verizon. Verizon has 4 bars and works fine. AT&T has 1 bar to no service at times. Regarding comment from previous post... .Why can't AT&T get their service to work like Verizon? If HOA won't allow AT&T towers, then they won't allow Verizon towers, but yet I can still get full coverage from Verizon. How does that work?

Very frustrated here. Their map shows the best coverage here. It is not true at all. Considering cancelling contract.
