Montrose and Sacramento, Chicago, IL 60618 Sun Jan 13, 2008

I have had zero reception for the past 5 days! I used to have perfect reception, then all of a sudden nothing! This is the area about 2 blocks south of Montrose on sacramento avenue. AT&T claims that all of their towers are working in that area and that I should reset my phone, even though I keep explaining to them that I have 2 phones on my plan, and neither of them have reception so it is obviously not a problem with my hardware. The few times that I actually get a call out, it drops. So much for AT&T's bs commercials patting themselves on the back for having the least dropped calls!

I can barely use my phone in my new apartment, often not at all. Even on the street I get no coverage often, or calls are dropped when I do. This isn't an iPhone issue, as I had the same problem with previous LG phone. ATT more than stinks here. Verizon phones work great. This neighborhood is hardly the hinterlands. I'm beyond frustrated. Stay away from ATT if you're anywhere nearby!

I cannot make or receive calls from inside my office but phones with other carriers, i.e. T-Mobile and U.S. Celular seem to work fine.

Since AT&T took over I lost all reception in a 15 mi radius. With Cingular I had no problem for the past 10yrs.

Clark / Fullerton intersection, Chicago, IL 60614 Mon Jun 25, 2007

I have used, on average, about 10 minutes each month. It's because I usually can't make a single call without walking about 6 blocks. I can now type text messages very quickly though, but it takes about 30 sends before one goes through. I've also gotten voice mails 7 hours after they were left, and one time I dropped my phone on the floor and all of a sudden three voice mails popped up.

Poplar St., Easton, IL 62633 Fri Jun 01, 2007

I live southeast of one tower 4 miles and west from another one 6miles. The topography is flat, used to be a lake bed eions ago. I started out with 3 to4 bars for the first 3-4 weeks, and haven't had service at my home since. How can they manage to keep the power up for 3 to 4 weeks and then loose it completely? I'm hoping they can do something about this, or will do something. I'm caretaker of my 85yo father who needs to be able to call me at any time.
