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.

terrible reception only good at sometimes for text messages

Just switched to Verizon from Nextel and I am ready to pay to get put of my contract and go back two many dead spots and droped calls and more expensive

Don't even consider getting signal anwhere around this town.

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.

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.

I get absolutely no reception at my house or around my house. I can't even get a signal if I set my phone to roaming. I have found that Sprint's service is generally pretty poor in Chicago and even in some of the surrounding suburbs.

NO Reception inside US Cellular Field (go figure). But reception is great everywhere else.
