att has no reception even with a tower about 2 miles away my parents have Verizon and have good signal all the way here

At&t is horrible! I can't use it in my house or office and I drop calls on Ashworth Road. I got an iphone and went back three days later because the service was sooo bad and they said " Oh yeah, AT&T sucks in Des Moines." FYI... AT&T put repeaters in all of the Apple stores before the iphone came out to insure that the phones would have good service in the store but onces you got out you are SCREWED!

no bars go to grays lake 2 bars tried 4 different model of phones dropped Sprint and went with Cingular biggest mistake I ever made. family member died and recieved voicemail 6 hours after the fact

Zero reception on Chester Rd. Phone doesn't even ring. Can only make emergency calls. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

no reception at all with AT&T anywhere in the city, I called them and they say they are working on the problem. I have 3 other friends with iphones with AT&T and they have the same problem. We have to drive to the interstate or muscatine to get a signal

No cingular / AT&T service around ankeny, and between Elkart and Nevada. Also, poor service in many areas on I-80 between Des Moines and Council Bluffs.

We are getting very little reception in the outer parts of Polk City. They have a major housing project going there and we are getting no reception in this new area.

If you would like to waste $70 a month, go with Cingular, now AT&T. In my apartment on Broadway I have used two phones, one being an older Nokia, and another a newer Motorola. Neither of them work. Most of the time there is not even enough reception for incoming calls to ring and the rest of the time they are dropped anyway within seconds. I really enjoy the convenience that cell phones offer-getting to stand outside to get enough reception during conversations is simply wonderful. Do not waste your time with this company. They drop calls everywhere!

Updating my rant from my last year's post. Cingular service has gotten much better over the year I've had my phone. I work in Carroll now but the coverage map categorizes Carroll under "partner" service, meaning Cingular has contracts with other cellphone companies, iWireless T-Mobile being the case here, to use service. I was told my Cingular that if I don't use more than 60% of THEIR antennas I will lose my service. Now I like Cingular a lot. When I lived in Fort Dodge it worked perfectly. Thankfully I visit Ames, Fort Dodge, and Des Moines enough to keep it above 60%. Plus they were on me about living in a town without Cingular Service (I get service two, yes TWO, miles south outside Churdan, but it's under iWireless' towers). I like having MySpace Mobile and Rollover Minutes... ..If Cingular reads this, stick some towers up along HWY 4 in Greene County, allright?

I get dropped calls anywhere it has moderate coverage on the Cingular coverage map. I think as I travel and cross from one tower to the next, my phone can't find the next tower. I purchased an external antenna from Radio shack and get 5 bars all the time now right up until the network drops me. I'm looking at other networks at the moment.
