No reception in Mountain Park, Lake Oswego... across from PCC Sylvania. AT&T sucks. Many days and nights of frustration. If I'm lucky I will get to speak to somebody for about 2 minutes without be disconnected (at thats on a GOOD day). People try to call me and my phone says "This Phone Number Is No Longer In Service" to them, when they were just talking to me! Phone cuts off every minute. I spend far more time trying to reconnect and call back than I do speaking to my friends. Even at work in Tualatin I barely manage to a get a bar or two.

I work downtown Portland on the top floor of a building along SW 6th Ave. Starting September 1st 2004, I get dropped calls every day receiving and sending calls from within the building where I work. Middle of conversation and suddenly call is dropped. Meter reads 3 bars; yet call is dropped. Other times, I get 1-2 bars then jumps to 4-5 bars then back to 0 bars (and "no reception" message) - all within the same minute. But if I go outside the building, reception is OK - 3-4 bars. A few dropped calls. The first 45-days, reception was great. No problems. No dropped calls at all. Indoors or outdoors. But starting September 1st 2004, something changed on AT&T Wireless' GSM. Brand new Motorola T721 phone in mid-July 2004. I have purchased a new battery (on AT&T Wireless Customer Care recommendation). Phone still drops calls from inside the office where I work. And I do charge phone overnight and then use battery until drained. Then, recharge overnight. (Normally, Fridays the battery is low; so Friday nights, I charge battery overnight and begin anew Saturday)

No reception (zero bars) once I am 25 feet inside the Fred Meyer store.

I like many people have been getting more insistent $50 credit offers to sign up for another year from AT&T (and of course they won't let you upgrade to a better calling plan without a new commitment either). My Nokia 8265 TDMA gets OK reception, which may go fuzzy in most of my 1/2 basement bedroom, but no problems in most places. I got an offer in the mail for $110 off a new phone (basically free after another $20 mail in rebate) and since I wanted to upgrade to free long distance, free nights & weekends, and 200 more minutes for the same monthly price thought it might be worth the 2 year commitment. Big mistake. This is day one and it's going back tomorrow. It's completely useless anywhere in my house, outside of my house or up the street. No signal at all inside, the phone may have up to 5 out of 7 strength outside and drop to 0 instantly. The service doesn't have the 'hi are you there, OK I can hear you again' during bad signal - it immediately hangs up on you. I attempted to make my first phone call, after redialing 10 times after being hung up on even after walking several blocks this phone is going back tomorrow. If they are phasing out TDMA I will be phasing out AT&T because GSM is unuseable here (and for now they better put my account back the way it was).

T-Mobile does not get reception in this area. Edge or US Cellular are your best bets.

I live in Rainier, OR and I have no reception at home. Yes I live in the hills but I can receive it 2 houses down. I am not in a gully or hidden by trees. In Deer Island is the worst. I cannot get reception at all but we he have customers with Nextel that can walkie-talkie and talk with no problem.

I get no reception from my home, therefore, I can make no calls from my home or receive calls when I am at home. The Verizon "Family Plan" which I pay for is no use to me when I am at home. I get reception at the Turner Post Office which is about 3 miles from my house. I upgraded my cell phone in hopes that would help, it did not.

Always around the top of the hill at 175th and Kemmer View has a dead zone - a good 1/2 mile to mile. Terrible reception at my job in Tualatin / Sherwood area, too. Good thing for 30 day satisfaction!

When I moved into my new apartment right down the street I didn't know that I would lose all of my reception. I went to the AT&T store and tried a new phone, still no reception. Every one comes to my house with Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Cingular with no reception problems at all. Also I work at Intel and receive a discount for AT&T coverage. Isn't ironic that I don't get reception in the parking lot of the Intel campus I work at?

If I'm within 6 inches of my window, I can usually make calls. If not, everything goes to voice mail and I get a notification up to 2 hours later. If I walk a block in either direction, I get 6-7 bars (7 is max on the 6800).
