I work in a nearby building that faces Midlothian - outside on that side of the two-story building, I get three bars. Walk through the building to the other (North) side and I get five.

Good reception outside; average to no reception inside the first floor of a 1910 free-standing frame house nearby.

There is no ATT signal reception inside any of the West Creek office buildings. Others get reception on their Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile phones. I am moving to Sprint and buying the iphone 4S with them just for this reason.

Recent relocation to Richmond and the ATT service is extremely work. Constantly falling off anywhere inside a building. May have to wait out the contract to switch carriers.

I got no signal at all anywhere in my office building in West Creek. Once outside the building I was able to get a signal. However, Verizon works inside the building. I was able to get a signal in the west end and the fan. 4G signal strength was strongest downtown but dropped out frequently in my house in the West End.

Strange becausewith Verizon I constantly got 4 or even perfect signal in the samespots

I either have to go upstairs to my bedroom or outside the house to talk, and I still have plenty of dropped calls in both those areas. My mother is on Verizon, her old roomate had AT&T, and both of them had exceptionally strong signals. Looking to switch to AT&T when my contract runs up in December. Yeeesssss...

i don't know why, because I hear so many complain about AT&T coverage, but mine is fabulous almost everywhere in rVa. there is only 1 place I don't get mostly full bars. and that is in the bowels of a dense office complex where I work contract for one of my clients and even there I get a bar or two – i have to go to the window or outside to return calls but i'm not there enough for this to really be an issue.

The most bars I can get is 2 if I'm lucky. Most of the time I need to go outside to complete call. I don't know where the nearest tower is but it's not within 2 miles.

I have problems with my cellular service all over the Richmond area, as do numerous friends and family members of mine who also have Verizon service. I usually do not even get service on Strawberry St., Robinson St., and Midlothian Turnpike! I experience difficulties on a daily basis with making and receiving calls, as well as sending and receiving text messages!

also lived in city on south side of river, never had a problem.

Verizon dead zone 3581 Charles City Rd Richmond Va 23231 One to none bars calls are dropped on a regularly Verizon has never checked signal strength I have a 3G smart phone.

I get signal when I'm out on the street but as soon as I step inside my office, there is no coverage. I'm thinking of switching but want to retain my lovely curve :)

I can rarely complete a phone call at this location. However, it is better in other locations throughout the city of Richmond. To be fair I am using an old LG. (Other Verizon models appear to pick up better.) Still, not impressed with the coverage.

Been with T-Mobile for years. I love the service, I only have 3 bars while at work but other thatn that I love the service. Can't wait for the 3G to come to Richmond. Oh boi

1 / 2 bars outside of house. None inside. Have to sit near a window to get even 1 bar at best.

AT&T has so many deadspots that the coverage is like the Burmuda Triangle. One moment I've got "more bars" and the next minute, welcome to the dead zone!

Had been with AT&T since they were Suncom. We had to switch from AT&T to Verizon, because AT&T's service had 1 or 0 bars in the house. We were tired of having to go outside to make a phonecall. Switched to Verizon and now we are b / w 3 and 4 bars inside! The service has been great, no complaints. It is bitter-sweet though. We switched to Mac computers in the house and love them. So naturally we want iPhones now. I am anxious to get my buddy over here with his iPhone 2nd gen to do a site survey of Signal stregnth I am hoping 3G network has improved the coverage.

Right on VCU campus, and I constantly have problems with Alltel's coverage. I remember the plan ages ago about a dollar or something every time a call was dropped?? Figure maybe they dropped that since they probably would be bankrupt only from the amount I drop... : / But no, inside my apartment coverage is dodgy at best, voices cut out often, and on the street, where I do feel safe, (but would be much more comfortable with good coverage) Its kind of shaky getting service, and calls are dropped often. Its really frustrating; looking to switch to Verizon or T-Mobile after consulting these reviews and doing some more research.

Breaking News: Parents foul up iPhone! I guess it wasn't meant to be. My near 80 yo parents are on my family plan. Couldn't wait to switch from Verizon to AT&T after the contract expired, but, alas, not a lick of reception inside parent's house. No where. Checked every room, upstairs and down. Had to go out into street to get a weak 1-2 bars. Still stuck with Verizon and my "not-quite-an-iPhone" LG Dare:-( Great network, great reception almost anywhere, but greedy, nickel-and-dime-you-to-death policies - like crippled bluetooth, blocked ringtones, etc. Bottom line: Don't leave parents out in the cold - even for an iPhone.
