I've been with AT&T(Cingular) for over 6 years, using only cellphones(a land line became obsolete), and have yet to have any problems with dropped calls or signal problems in this area. Be it inside my home, stores, the Supermall, or even inside the casino itself(with all those electronics running). While my roommates' Sprint phones have had trouble with signal in both the mall and casino, I still had strong signal at all. I love the rollover minutes, but it's specifically because of their strong calling coverage that I've stayed with them for so long(if that ever goes anywhere for too long, so do I... lol).

ATT / Apple have swapped out my iPhone twice to make sure I was not experiencing hardware failure. I took my phone to Apple recently and they performed diagnostic tests on coverage for me. Turns out I experienced over 90% dropped calls one dat, 70% another and most days were 25% dropped calls (over a two week period 5 / 09). I have opened a case with the FCC twice and it has prompted ATT to send field engineers into the area. Low signal levels have been confirmed by ATT with no ETA for tower expansion. In closing, no solution in sight but my phone fees stay high regardless of service availability.

Constantly dropped calls all over Auburn. Can never maintain a decent conversation from our home near Green River Community College. Called Cingular quite a few times, but they just keep telling us that the reception is fine according to their tests.

Poor reception with old Nokia AT&T phone Tried Verizon with no success. I was told this area was a bad zone. Switched to GSM, always four or more bars. Recently tried Sprint, I get three bars. I sticking with Cingular, four or five bars with my RAZR.

North or South bound on I5, any lane, just south of the 272nd Area in Federal Way calls will simply stop. No drop warning. It is like the hand-off between towers is failing. Phone indicates that I hung up. Other end of conversation says they were hung up on. Nothing quite like talking into a dead phone!

Reception poor, improves when I walk the 50 yards to the top of the cul de sac. Apparently other providers are no better on our little street.

I live just SE of this intersection, and in my experience there is no cellphone coverage between this intersection and gamefarm park to the east, and the base of the hill to the south.

I can not believe we signed up for two more years of this garbage (they assured us it would be better)! We do most of our long distance calling from home (and try and use our free minutes, while in the comfort of your home!), and I'm always getting very poor to unaceptable service when at home. when I do make these kinds of calls while at home, I have the person on the other end of the line automatically asking me "are you on your cell phone", because their preparing to be 'dropped' or 'temp. lose connection', For what we pay for this service, and don't receive, some of these cell phone companys should be hauled into court, and made to return consummers moneys! TRY and call these Fools, and you go round and round with a pre-recorded answering system with a menu to pick from that does not include CUSTOMER SERVICE with an actual human with a pulse, on the end! There ought to be a law! Even after I did talk to some half dead acting person, (I think I just woke them up), at CINGULAR she had no answers for me why such poor service and had nothing on what if anything is being done about it! UNBELIEVABLE! CINGULAR should be run out of this state! I think if it was unlawful for them to charge a huge $$ amount for canceling out on your service agreement companys like CINGULAR would be forced to get their act together and provide REAL customer service. NEVER AGAIN!

Something is wrong with that building. If you walk like 10ft outside the building on any side, it's okay but when you walk inside it's pretty much completely dead or 'Emergency Only.' I don't know if they line the walls with lead or somethin.
