I would like to swtich to AT&T for the iphone, but on my little street AT&T says there is only moderate coverage which means not in the house or car but maybe outside. It has been that way for the ten years that I have lived here, and I have complained to them that I would be using their service if they could get a signal to my house. Verizon works perfectly. I do not understand how this little patch of land with about 25 homes cannot use AT&T and why they do nothing about it.
I don't know why I waste my time with this company. I get zero bars everywhere in my house except for upstairs. Upstairs I get two max, and I may have one or two on the middle floor if I stand next to a window for a couple minutes. But for the most part I cannot receive or dial calls within my home. Which also means sending a text message is at the door as well. Montclair has little to no reception with AT&T / Cingular, so if you ever plan on using a cell phone on this network, I hope you choose to live somewhere else.
Hops between 3 and 4 but holds on 4bars most of the time.Reception is better when battery is not low also I have seen. The whole edgewood drive is not between 3 to 4 bars though. phone picks up 850mhz / 1900mhz for the usa and 900 mhz / 1800mhx for Asia and Europe area
AT&T / Cingular sucks in this area. "Fewest dropped calls"... Yeah... OK... Sure. If I ever live in this area I think I'll ask my employer for an AT&T phone so I won't have to worry about them calling in the middle of the night.
two to three bars and sometimes 4 bars its ok I guess since its a neigborhood that has alot of trees all around it. Samsung A650 is my model.Press *228 every now in then to get access to more reception in different areas and chose option two. Edgewood drive is where I live.
Cingular reception very poor off of I95 thought it would improve with AT&T Merge... What was I thinking???Stay away from Cingular in the Dumfries area... Verizon is the BEST!
