According to AT&T's own service group, our neighborhood is in a "good" reception area, one level below "excellent." Apparently "good" means occasionally there is a signal for a brief time. Mostly, there is none. Love the iPhone, but the poor signal is maddening.

T-mobile does not service Monmouth, IL, so reception is virtually non-existent. US Cellular has a near monopolistic lock on market in Monmouth. Some Verizon coverage, but dead spots.
I average AT LEAST one dropped call every day. If I find reception that's good enough to maintain a connection, the person on the other line is so garbled, I have to hang up and use my land line.

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.
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
