Everyone knows the AT&T's cell coverage in Appleton is essentially nonexistent... It's been 1.5 years since I've had my iPhone and nothing has changed. When you speak to customer service the spin a great story and say they are improving but the reality is that nothing is being done. AT&T is unorganized, full of useless excuses, and simply doesn't communicate with its customers.

I work at the Airport in Appleton and recently purchased an iPhone 4 with AT&T. I am finding that I cannot use my cell phone reliably during my work day since signal changes from 1 bar to searching to no service. On occasion I might see 2 bars for a brief period. I would have expected a company that advertises its great coverage and data to at least support decent quality signal reception at a city's main airport. As a side point, my work phone with Verizon seems to never fall below 3 bars.

In this area, AT&T can be hit or miss. Everything from no service to 4 bars. How is that possible in a highly residential neighborhood with high traffic? I cannot count on reception in my own home.

at&t sucks the have no service in any school on appleton

Generally ATT reception in Appleton is good to excellent. The only two areas I've run into problems is at work (Thrivent) and the mall. There are a few locations in the mall where service is poor to non-existant.

Calls are always dropped between Kaukauna and DePere, WI. There is a low area between the two that is a guarantee drop. Please fix this problem.

I have to go outside and walk around my own house just to talk to people. Employees at the AT&T store were very slow and not helpfull at all when explaining plans. I'm gonna throw a party when my contract is up.

Reception is poor. Indoors I get dropped calls in house all the time. Outdoors it is possible to pull two bars. I often get a roaming signal.

Very disappointed. Just switched to AT&T and I only get one bar in our house and it cuts out frequently.

great reception on east side of appleton indoors and out, tower behind janet berry school is alltel, which is great. Alltel is the best carrier by far but nobody nows about it... far better than verizon, but customer service is a little lacking, but other wize Verizon gets most of its extended coverage areas from alltel, so who is better??? ALLTEL! same phones ax8600 and krzr k1 and the orginal razr v3m and v3a (gps) Many pda choices and good evdo network. has notbook cards like verizon, and has pretty darn good broadband network, with evdo. Best cdma network there is! THey also have great commercials wiht chad and also my circle.. way better than my faves from t mobile. and for the kids out there they have great prepay phones too. You can switch your plan at anytime and if you drop a call you get a 1 minute call credit on your bill, and you can pay your bill add a line and change you my circle number on my account online. The axcess shop and jump music are comparable data access services to v cast, with much lower prices. Alltel IS THE BEST!

Perfect reception even in a basement...

Always have great reception. The best service by far out of all the local carriers. Have tried them all. With AT&T and Cingular, they drop calls where I have 5 bars with my Alltel phone. Wouldn't switch to any other company. They have the best service "up north" as well. At my cottage in Lake Tomahawk, I get 4-5 bars... INSIDE!

Have never had a problem with Sprint service.

I've been with US Cellular for around 10 years now and since getting the LG phone a couple years ago I've dropped more calls in the last years than all prior years combined. Lots of dead zones and dropped calls in many of the same areas I always had good reception in. I doubt I'll be renewing my US Cellular contract, may try Alltel next go around.

Absolutely poor coverage, at times no signal at all. Cingular customer service in caught between a rock and a hard place, because all they can tell you is the "company" line - "we have tower issues we hope to resolve. No estimated time of repair can even be approximated. Very Very Frustrating.

Have 4 bars at any given time in this area

Recieve a pretty steady 3 bars inside apartment building. When outside I recieve 4 - 5 bars

Never had any problems with dropped calls in this area. Signal strength goes from 4 - 5 bars.

Cingular gets a bad rap for whatever reason but they have pretty good reception in appleton, a few places where service is flaky but overall good coverage. a lot better than it was a year or so ago, maybe they bought more towers or something, but it's gotten better.

Basically, Cingular works in the city of Appleton(most places) and Highways 41 and 441. I have limited coverage in Grand Chute / Greenville and NO coverage anywhere else. I am all over Outagamie County and it get ZERO bars. I have called customer service many times and I keep getting the run-a-round. They are happy to tell me that they are adding a tower in Door County (which does nothing for me). I plan on switching to Alltel or US Cellular.
