In a word: horrible! Reception is almost dead in the heart of Capitol Hill. Lots of dropped calls and failed calls from my top floor (4th) apartment in the heart of the city. Better on the street but still spotty.

Calls are often dropped. If I walk into some rooms, there is a 50 / 50 chance the call drops.

Bad VERY customer service, bad reception in this area.

When I am in or near Jefferson Square I get either nothing or 1 bar. At home (Alaska Junction) I get very little reception if any. I may get 1 bar in my living room and if I move closer to the window MAYBE 2 bars. Unfortunately I'm on a family plan for another 1.5 years, then I'm switching to T-Mobile!

Excellent reception in almost all areas of West Seattle. I had AT&T previously and cancelled because the reception was so poor. I am very pleased with my reception with T-Mobile.

little to no reception in the house, some rooms if you can leave the phone in a window and use a hands free you can make a call. usually 1-3 bars outside. T-Mobile has been the best carrier of sprint, at&t, and cingular, who usually get no service anywhere within my house. T-Mobile great service everywhere else I have been in seattle, cross country and internationally.

verizon, very poor reception here. might as well turn the phone off because you wont even get your messages for a day or if at all

No recpetion, terrible in and out coverage thoughout Ballard.

Only get good reception in one corner of my living room. A couple of years ago they tried to put in a new cell tower at 80th and 8th, but the neighbors got an embarrassingly bad case of NIMBY. Now we all suffer.

Northwest side of 197th and Horizon View Park. Phone will ring, but reception is between 2 and 3 bars and consistent voice break-up makes conversation a constant "can you hear me now?". No. Revert to hard-wire. Looks like the closest tower is in Kenmore on Bothell Way. Line of sight is undoubtedly blocked. But I see no Cingular towers in Brier, Lynnwood, Edmonds... . hello?
