I never have reception or any bars in my house. I have to go at least a few blocks away to get one bar. Terrible coverage. I can sometimes send texts from my house if I'm in a certain area.
I have Verizon LG Dare for less than a month and AT&T Samsung A737 for over a year.(I have both Verizon and AT&T because of the nature of my job). after reading a comment about the poor reception in this location I went and checked it out because I was concerned about the Dare's performance.Here what I found:AT&T has a strong 3G reception in the five-six blocks radius,so I think you should have no problems with voice calls or high speed data connection. Verizon data EVDO reception is spotty, I had three bars on the corner of Trenton st. and 13 Ave sw, to no bars next to the school between 10th and 11th Ave sw.,Verizon 1X reception showed one to two bars on the Dare,(four bars mean full reception). Call quality on Verizon's LG was very good all the way cross sw Henderson st to Roxbury st., and downloading V-Cast videos rated fair using 1X connection, yesterday I was able to make calls in Mill Creek area with no bars. If you go to Verizon store inside S. Center Mall you'll see the reception(# of bars) varies from one phone to another even though they are next to each other!. thanks and good luck.
In the U District my 3G keeps dropping to 0 bars, then returning to full 5 bars. The Apple 'Genius' said that he has the same problems at the UW. When this happens, I can't use data, send / receive text messages, or send / receive calls. I constantly have calls go right to voicemail as well. I had no such problems when I had Verizon. I regret switching. I love my iPhone but AT&T 3G just sucks.
Carrier is Verizon - both of us (LG user and Blackberry user) have 0 to 3 bars (both inside and out) if careful where we attempt calls from - but without warning calls regularly dropped 5 minutes,10 even 30 minutes into the call receptions drops to nothing! Had AT&T before - not much better. Verizon customer service has been solid willing to let us out of contract - but where do we go from here?!?!? Incredibly frustrating. Work offers cost breaks with both Verizon and AT&T but neither one provide adequate reception in our home and neighborhood. Would love to hear what provider offers good reception in West-SW Seattle.
I get very poor / spotty reception. Anybody get good reception at this location? If yes, who is your service provider and what phone do you use? I want to switch providers and get rid of landline.
