Even though AT&T claims roaming in Bend Oregon, NOPE, ZIP, NOTHING!

My phone NEVER works in this area (I live here). If it says I have reception, and I attempt to make the call, it either doesn't go through or the call immediately gets dropped.

The largest high school in the state of Oregon with over 2,500 student in attendance. And you can't get any reception inside the building. But if you go with Verizon that seems to work better. AT&T will not work. I'm not sure why they have not looked into this. The South end of Forest Grove is where all the building of new homes are taking place. I think AT&T would want to be the first to have the better coverage in this area. AT&T coverage in town is so so. I'm near 17th Ave and Kingwood St. and I lose reception in my home. I have been told that the equipment out in our area is very old. And that plays a part in the foot print or coverage we have. AT&T have no plans to improve it at this time.

Lose reception heading east from Astoria at Tongue Point. No reliable reception until you get to Gnat Creek. Lose reception again as you near Clatskanie. Reception acquired leaving Clatskanie until you approach Rainier. Very frustrating.

We loose reception about 1 mile up Scappoose-Vernonia Highway. I have looked at every major carrier and cannot get even 1 bar in our area. A real bummer. I have a high end PDA phone and my wife had a Nokia candy bar phone. They both loose signal in the same area.

What's up with this! We get high-speed internet on our computer and no phone service! Holts Seattle, WA

We have no AT&T reception along Crowfoot Rd but friends do have US Cellular. Why does one carrier provide service when the other doesn't. iPhone requires the use of AT&T. A real catch 22.

I purchased a new GSM phone from Edge and 2 yr. plan, planning to disconnect our landline. Reception was good behind our house, not inside. Bought an antenna and extender to bring signal inside. Signal was great until about July 1st. Signal would swing from 3 bars to 0. The previous night, my husband had talked to his sister for an hour with no problem. Edge tried to correct, but without luck and let me out of contract. Contractors with U.S. Cellular have no problem. Very frustrating situation. Love the phone, but the coverage in the valleys off I-5 is terrible; the corridor is good except for a couple of dead spots.

Edge does not work when I get off starveout road to go to my house. I also doesn't work on top of Canyon Mountain. My wife has a tracfone, service provided by US Cellular and it works great pretty much everywhere around here.

I have to sign up with A T and T wireless phone service in order to use the 50% family plan her business offers she and her family. She works in S. F., I obviously live in Bend and I teach online and would use the email functionality to communicate with my students while awar from home. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions about A T and T in Bend? I have to decide in 2-3 days. Thank you so much, Susan
