Coverage drifts in and out. Never higher than three "bars." Bought the pre-paid phone at Wal-Mart, had no choice in carrier! Got AT&T; very poor "iffy" signal at all times of day / night! Thank goodness for voice mail, or I'd have lost lots of business calls... .forever!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

No problems at all with the AT&T reception. Initially when I shifted I used a T-Mobile for 2 months. The reception was strictly OK. I realised how much better it could be when I shifted to at&t, though the customer service was not tht great. I had no problem with the coverage in Richmond or while roaming.

Excellent reception indoors and out. Perhaps 3G phone helps

I rarely have less than 4 bars on my phone with the exceptiong of being in MCV or other large concrete structures. Once I get outside I've got full service. And not a single dropped call from my network.

Everytime I get to the intersection of Iron Bridge Rd and Walmsley Blvd, I lose signal.

Switched from Sprint a couple of years ago. Coverage was good but, continuosly dropped calls. Coverage is good. Very few dead spots when in the car or outside. Signal strength in buildings could be stronger. Otherwise, hardly ever drop a call and we only use cell phones, usually other persons phone and carrier.

Cingular has suceeded in killing a good coverage area. Former Suncom customers that elect to keep their Unplan in the long run get screwed as you reception will be worse then that of Suncom. Since the switch I average at least 5-10 dropped calls a day and it is not the phone as my other phone does the same exact thing. Calling a CSR is no use as they have no idea what is going on except what is in front of the.
