I have NO reception. Have to drive past Moonstone to get any bars. And a note to Ardath / Ogden contributor from March 2008 - I don't have a landline as I'm hardly ever at my house, therefore my cell is my lifeline, as it is with many other families. Come into the present. My Cingular / ATT worked perfect for 6 years all over the US, all of a sudden I have to look for a new carrier because I live on Main Street. No, I don't have the luxury of getting out of my contract OR picking up and moving a couple of miles.
I loose EDGE connection around Sepulveda and Ventura Blvd... .with the dead area covering about 10 square miles around my house. I spoke to AT&T Last month and the said they are aware of the issue and it's been going on since early June. The pro-rated my bill from $140 to $29... which they will be doing next month if it is still down. The thing is without EDGE I do not receive my emails, voice mails or am I able to use most apps that need to reach out. If this is not fixed soon I will cancel service and go to Sprint... .
AT&T works ok in most places around LA, but for some reason it has NO BAR in my apartment, or maybe 1 bar if I get super lucky. Not only cell phone, my GPS navigator doesn't have reception inside the apartment gate. Oddly enough, my roommate's T-Mobil phone has pretty good reception... I'm thinking about switching to Verizon now..
I hate AT&T. I've had nothing but trouble since transferring my landline # in 2004. 4 months of an incomplete port that took intervention by the CPUC before it was fixed. (They basically wanted to keep my # because it is an old original Lockheed-Martin # that apparently has some kind of value).Then I couldn't get service in Venice. They blamed it on my handset, which was replaced 4 times, SIM 3 times, battery 2 times. Turned out they just hadn't upgraded the towers and didn't want to say so. Ate my life, but was mobile to mobile with the BF, so stuck. Got the Samsung (373?) and finally no problems for a year, then moved to Santa Monica from Venice and NO SERVICE AT ALL. They just keep lying to me, spent 18 hours on the phone and in the store in the last month. Yesterday they sent me a free new Nokia to "better connect with the towers", cuz You know, I'm in their "best service area", so they just can't understand why I'm getting no service. The phone arrived with the battery plate jammed, so I had to take it to the store on Wilshire, where I was told that the new phone is on the EDGE system instead of 3G, that Santa Monica won't let them put up 3G towers, so the 3G phones mostly don't work. Screw AT&T, they don't EVER tell the truth. Does antbody have a working cell phone in Santa Monica, and if so, who"s your carrier. I live on 23rd near Ocean Park. Thanks.
Crap reception until you get to either Doheny or Santa Monica, but you lose it again in the 500 blocks. Which is strange since AT&T bought Cingular, which gave me great reception in that neighborhood. Too bad the spectacular iPhone is crippled by poor signal strength
