Just About Everywhere In the City, Joliet, IL 60435 Thu Jun 19, 2008

Wife and I bought iPhones so we switched to AT&T. The signal service in Joliet is horrendous. Some times to get signal I have to not only leave my house, but literally walk around halfway up the block (cathedral district). Just yesterday I was in the parking-lot at the Rt.59 and Theodore trying to call my wife, and it took *18* tries over 15 minutes to get a call to go through and last for more than 5 seconds. My in-laws have AT&T as well and none of us get signal at their house near Larkin and Black Rd. Stay away from AT&T if you live in or around Joliet, IL.

I have contacted Sprint about the lack of reception but it has been useless. I have updated the phone several times but it is time to look for a new provider.

Reception up here is horrible! I tried calling AT+T to complain, they said coverage should be fine because there is a tower 1 mile south and another 1 mile north... . Please call and place a complaint, maybe if enough of us call they'll add a tower. We live in a major city we should have service in our homes.

Calls simply don't come through when I'm in a building anywhere in the area. Outbound calls always get dropped unless I'm leaning out a window. I know buildings reduce reception, but this is ridiculous.

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 cannot use my phone in my house and in much of the two 4 block radius surounding my house. I hate ATT I am switching.
