Good reception at all times (5 bars). When exiting the subdivision and traveling down 130th avenue south 96th, reception briefly drops to three bars before returning to 5. Call quality is good at all times. Just as good as Verizon. 3G is pretty good too.

I have been with AT&T (Cingular) for about 5 years now. I have never experienced any dropped calls except for in an elevator but they all do that. I had T-Mobile and Verizon in the past both had dropped calls continuously. I have found that it really depends on where you live as to what company would be best for you. I just read that AT&T has recently purchased T-Mobile so we will see what happens with that. I have also heard that Sprint is a great deal too and with them being the last of the unlimited data plans this is something to consider. Good luck in your search for a cellular plan.

0-1 bars in house and outside in yard... sometimes 1-3 bars around neighborhood where ATT website shows good coverage reception. I feel that I was mislead about reception that I would have in my house.

Have been with AT&T for years and have never had a problem. Just purchased an iPhone 3GS and all of a sudden I get no service inside my home after using the phone without fail for 5 days. I have to drive about 3-4 blocks NE on 160th Ave to make a phone call. Went back to AT&T and they said it was a bad SIM card, replaced and said I should have no problems. Well, that didn't work either. They say my only option is to turn the phone back in for a small fee and they will let me out of my contract, purchase an AT&T MicroCell for $150.00 that will give me 5 bars in the house or take my phone to Apple and see if it is bad! Well, my husband's phone (my old phone) is now only working sporadically. So apparently, something has been done to the tower in my area that has screwed up our service. I had Verizon many years ago and that didn't work at home either. Now what carrier do I choose?

I get great service where I'm at. Maybe its the increase in coverage due to the 3G network but hey it works!

Have been with company for over 2 yrs. Calls will drop when near freeway. Worse when at home. Service will work for a few minutes than I am unable to recieve or make calls for about an hour. This repeats throughout the day. 5 minutes it'll work long enough to recieve the texts I missed but as soon as I call voicemail or contacts, my service fails! The rep onine tells me to use a landline to call my voicemaill or contacts. Unfortunately I have to go to a neighbor to use a landline! Is this why I pay the cell phone company... so I can use someone's phone to see if I recieve a call on my cell phone??! I'm Very irritated with Cingular right now!

Several spots on I-84 where service ALWAYS drops. Also, I-205 on the way to Vancouver, my calls always drop. Sometimes I have reception and other times I dont in my house. I can sit in one spot, have a 15 minute conversation then the call drops. Sporadic.

This is pathetic. Coverage in France and Italy was so much better it became a game to find where I didn't have coverage. The Salmon Creek store put in a new sim chip during my most recent complaint. It did not help.

Cingular has vastly improved their coverage in Clark County over the last six months, adding around 14 towers during this time period. I believe that several more are planned as well. Most are in the southern half of the county, but a couple are further north. The Orchards area has been filled out well.

Began with ATT Wireless which worked well for us. After 3 years, Cingular bought them out. We had a bad experience with Cingular in the past, so we were not happy with the buyout. Now we are unable to rely on cell phone connection at home. We must go outside, and even then calls are routinely dropped. Cingular says they are bringing in more towers. They want us to switch to a new phone (for a cost, of course.) We are waiting out our contract and will switch to another carrier, probably Verizon. Our first experience with Cingular was that they sold us phones and then LIED about coverage. We eventually got out of the contract without paying a penalty, but had to take it all the way to the company's president. Avoid Cingular!

Switched over from AT&T because of a special deal. Was hoping to get better reception with a newer phone, but still found it to be quite poor. One bar if I'm lucky in my house. Really hoping we can get some more towers that will cover my area.

I get 1 bar in my house off of 36th avenue. The GSM network works perfectly everywhere else. But where I need great service mostly is in my home office.

I have been nothing but pissed off at the horrible GSM AT&T coverage I have in the Portland / Vancouver area. This feeling is reflected by many of my friends. Dropped calls and garbled voice all the time. And on major freeways! I used to have TDMA with AT&T Wireless and the covergae was excellent. Do not make the switch!

AT&T is terrible. Their TDMA coverage is better. I live in this vicinity and cannot hold a call. My wife has TDMA and her phone works fine. The crazy thing is that there is a AT&T Wireless Store at this intersection. An employee informed me (when I went in to complain about the reception) that they have a booster in the attic so that the demo phones will work in the store, otherwise there is no reception in their store. In 2 weeks I am going to try someone else.

I have AT&T for a year I started with a Nokia 3590 and had terrible recpetion at home, I could stand outside but not inside and you had to make sure the antenna faced North. I than got an LG4011 and had similar experience. I recenlty got the LG G4015 and have great reception inside and out. I have only lost one call on it and that was while I was traveling in the back country. This phone is amazing, I do not even have an antenna booster.
