I had zero reception inside my house until AT&T reluctantly told me about and subsequently sent me a free booster. The c.s. rep first told me, "I don't understand why you have no signal. Our map shows you're in a GREAT area." I told her I'd be happy to video my phone showing no bars inside my place then she put me on hold. When she came back, she told me this area qualifies for a free booster that plugs into my wireless internet. How quickly my "great area" dropped to the very bottom. Anyway, now I have 5 bars all the time but the booster sucks the life out of my phone in about 3 hours if I'm home and the phone isn't plugged in. I've left the house on several occasions only to find my phone's about 1 minute away from dying. Even though I've got a good signal now, I'm still thinking of switching to Verizon...

Shoshone, CA, Sedona, AZ 86341 Fri Aug 26, 2011

No cell signal in Shoshone, CA, on AT&T, or Verizon. Cellular service ends just north of Baker on Hwy. 127, resulting in a huge area of no cell service along the Hwy. 127 corridor. Cell service doesn't resume again until Death Valley Junction (spotty signal) and Amargosa Valley, NV (full signal). This can be particularly dangerous for travelers during the summer months when temperatures climb to 120+F.

All of Downtown South of RT82 Bridge / Grand and Western intersection, Nogales, AZ 85621 Fri Aug 12, 2011

ATT has confirmed they have switched to a single "Super" tower in Nogales. The Tower is located at I19 and Mariposa west. Most of downtown Nogales is in the blind spot of this tower. Rio Rico has suffered also they now feed off of the I19 exit 34 tubac site. If you insist on ATT in Nogales you need to have "Viva" Mexico plan for coverage in Nogales Downtown. Meadow Hills Subdivision, Visita Del Ciero and all surrounding high spots should fair well with new set up however, Rio Rico and Vista del Ciero have experienced loss in signal due to land owner conflict on Mt Benidict. Rio Rico Residents in low lying areas will find data in and out because phones will try to switch between Patagonia Tower and Tubac. ATT sayes new coverage is complete that my only option is to switch to the "Viva" Mexico plan but I never go there. To ATT's Credit they did let me out of my contract with no termination fee. They also mentioned that no 3G or 4G will come to Nogales any time soon because there is no Fiber Backhaul for them at current tower site on Mariposa.

Fort Huachuca / Sierra Vista intersection, Sierra Vista, AZ 85635 Fri Aug 05, 2011

There has been no day time cell reception since Tuesday (it's Friday afternoon). They are supposedly upgrading the tower, but I actually need my phone during business hours, not at night when doctors and mechanics and such are closed. This information is also impossible to find on their web site, their customer service chat is rude and forces you to enter your info twice (didn't I just have to enter all my info to log in to even REACH chat?), and their online service is completely inadequate to deal with a system designed to be phone based. If my phone were working, I wouldn't need to use the internet to report a problem with my phone, idiots! I will switch to Verizon as soon as I pick out a new phone.

Pulte White Tank / Olive and Citrus intersection, Waddell, AZ 85355 Sat Jul 02, 2011

At&t coverage map shows "Best" coverage in this area so I switched from Verizon 1 or 2 bars to AT&T to improve service. Got 0 bars in my house and a couple in my back yard. Spoke to AT&T rep who showed me two towers less than 3 miles from my home; one south and one north. Drove near the north tower and got a strong signal withing visual distance from tower; two miles down the road and signal was poor. Back home it was nonexistent. The Verizon tower is even farther away, but I still get reception with them. I guess its back to Verizon unless someone builds a tower in my backyard.

Lost signal around Tusayan coming in from the South by 64. Did not have coverage upto Tuba City. Since it was getting dark, I decided to play it safe and return to Flagstaff. The phone sprung into life about 29 miles North of Flagstaff on 160. Was quite surprised to find zero signal in Grand Canyon Village (expected some coverage around the shopping, office and camp area)

Careefree Resorts, Carefree, AZ 85377 Wed Apr 27, 2011

AT&T does not have any coverage in Carefree Resorts. I was completely useless to bring my cell phone. Meanwhile, my sister (who has Verizon Wireless) was able to still send and receive phone calls, text messages, and even a picture message! Verizon Wireless had better coverage by far.

Tanque Verde / Houghton, Tucson, AZ 85749 Wed Mar 30, 2011

I've been with AT&T for years and had no problem with reception until I moved East on Tanque Verde. Now I have zero reception in or out of my home. In the last three to four months I now loose reception on Kolb, Valencia and Wilmont. I have tried to get AT&T to fix or at least give me a reason and all they tell me is that they are working on some of their towers and it could be a while before it is completed. I find this hard to swallow... . I am now checking for a new carrier... .
