Used to get good coverage, but for the past two months almost no coverage. Many many many dropped calls. AT&T not too interested in doing anything to improve the quality or restore service to previous level.

Reception is absolutely terrible. Am thinking of a signal booster but if I get a terrible signal any way it will only repeat the terrible signal need better cell phone coverage. AT&T needs more towers

I have been a loyal customer of T-Mobile for almost 6 years, and at first, they were amazing. About two years after I joined them, I upgraded to a Motorola Razr, but it buzzed in my ear all the time. I called and complained many times and they would troubleshoot it, or send me a new SIM card. I begged and begged for them to replace the phone. Finally the manufacturers warranty ran out and it was too late. They did not care that I was not satisfied, but the buttons started falling off of my phone and I was still under contract, so I went ahead and bought a cheaper, different phone. T-Mobile has lied to me, and manipulated me into changing my service as well, causing my bill to sky rocket. The latest plan change is the Family Allowence. I tried managing the usage for the 3rd line on our family plan, but somehow the user was able to go over their allowence, causing overages, which is why we got the allowences to begin with. SO... .. T-Mobile sucks. The phone I have now is just an average joe phone. I still get a lot of dropped calls, and the "run around" when I have an issue that I want to discuss with customer care. I suppose I have stayed with them for so long because I was hoping things would get better, but they have only gotten worse. I am going to switch to BOOST mobile. The phones are expensive, but the unlimited usage is a great deal!

The closest tower is over a mile east by south east but to to the topography (lay of the land) inhibits a signal in my neighborhood. Having a wifi network and a smartphone that can connect to that network, it helps with sending data to and from the outside world; but doesn't do much for making calls. Getting a in house amp(1900 / 800 ghz GSM network) will help out alot.

Terrible reception is any at all. Only retrieve service about every five minutes and even then, your phone needs to be exactly stationary and in a precise position. I do with AT&T would divert some of their budget into covering more of this area with stronger coverage.

Well, in the hills above Albertsons / Walmart on Barrington I get pretty bad coverage with Verizon. I have 2 VZW phones, 1 is decent (1bar) and the other never has any bars. Other than at my house, reception is decent all over the island. I'm considering switching to ATT but not sure yet.

Wow -3rd world is about right. I just switched from Nextel to Sprint, but it ain't 'sprint'ing by any means. Missed calls, POOR reception (1-2 bars at most on a good day) OK in town like everyone else, Wally World and Albertsons are completely out on both carriers. I guess since we just got electricity, we have to wait for a decent phone...

Spotty at best on very clear days. I've considered getting on top of my house with wire hangars in both hands. I am about to switch providers, and was checking here to see who gets the best reception, seems like a crap shot no matter who you pick. One of the other posters was right on when they said it's like living in a 3rd world country in Oak Harbor.

I live at the top of West Beach Rd and have perfect reception. At the bottom of the hill down by the houses that line the beach, it is a complete dead spot. Overall, my reception on Whidbey Island is outstanding. Walmart and Albertson's are also dead spots though I do get lucky with a successful call every now and then. But then again, every Walmart I have been in has been a dead spot. The only other dead spots I have encountered is at Deception Pass and going through the Campbell Lake area. I even get reception on base inside my hanger office upstairs in a room with no windows.
