I have lived in two locations on the South end of the island and had very bad cell reception! Very few towers down here!

I want to get a new Apple phone and understand that you have to use AT&T service. Does anyone have any experience with this carrier on Bainbridge Island? Do you know if the 3G feature will help reception? Thanks

Always full bars. Think that Cell Tower is in Masonic Temple Parking lot, across from BHS.

I barely get one bar inside my house. But when I cross the bridge (Agate Pass) into Suquamish / Poulsbo area, the bars shoot up to full.

Hwy. 305 and the Winslow area have good coverage. Never any dropped calls from my residence near Winslow. Only 1 bar, but never any complaints on both ends. There are some problems in the most rural parts of the island especially inside buildings, but a signal was reported.

Just moved here. No reception on T-Mobile for most of downtown Bainbridge Island. Especially near the Town and Country - the real town center. T-Mobile says there is no problem because their coverage maps say it is okay. None of our three different phones work here, but they refuse to acknowledge a problem. So we'll all be switching as soon as I find out which system DOES work here.

No reception at all in downtown Winslow on T-Mobile. Can make calls from my home near the Library, but only if I stand up and / or lean against the window. Also can't make calls during a long part of the Seattle-Bainbridge ferry ride. When my calls drop, Verizon users are still talking. (Yes, I'll be switching!)

T-Mobile GSM reception on Bainbridge Island is very spotty. I like in the downtown "core", 15 minutes from the ferry. At the ferry, if you don't move, signal strengh is 2-3 bars. Walking up the hill to the main drag "Winslow Way" and go to the grocery store (T&C Market) , you're in a hole. If you stand on the park bench in front of T&C (and if the stars and sun an planets are in the right conjunction), you might be able to "phone home". Walking up the hill 1/2 mi to my house (near Wallace Way), you're still in the hole. I barely get reception on the 2nd floor. Walking another 1/2 mi to the Bainbridge High School and a 20-30' higher elevation, FIVE BARS. You can hear me now.
This whole scenario is a metaphor for T-Mobile's poor service due to an underbuilt GSM network. So, in ZIP=98110 (Bainbridge Island), you will get service. You may just have to reenact the "Can you hear me now" game to make a call.
By the way, sea kayak over to Blake Island, and T-Mobile GSM works fine.
