Ridiculous that ATT disappears south of Farmville for 20+ miles. Recently they appear to have added service in Keysville but it doesn't last long. It makes NO SENSE to be on a major corridor through VA and have No service for 20-40 miles. ATT needs to expand to bring in rural coverage. Their coverage map of VA is pathetic. Fortunately my other Verizon phone works in the area.

No Reception at all,I mean we have like 5 cell phones but can't use them unless we go to Castlewood,which is pretty far from us,exspecially if we wanted to make a important call!

My mother bought me this phone as a present and there is NO reception in Keysville, Abilene, or my area until about 8 miles away near Hampden-Sydney. I looked at coverage maps on Virgin's site (service provided by Sprint PCS, btw) and they don't even pretend to cover this area.

Very poor reception inside the office. Good reception outside though

Unbelievable - after 5 years of camping at Natural Bridge station, we AT&T Wireless turned Cingular Wirelless turned AT&T Wireless (again) customers STILL do not have any reception at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ at Natural Bridge... but our Verizon friends have 3-5 bars of signal at the same location during that whole 5 years. After spending 45 minutes on the phone with a very nice AT&T rep, I was able to log a complaint. But I need enough people to do the same thing before AT&T realizes they need to lease service fromthe tower that serves that area!

Cingluar / AT&T doesn't work south of the Food Lion on Avon St. Extended (or the Monticello visitor center on Rte 20). By the time you get to Scottsville, you've been out of Cingular / AT&T's network for a good half hour.

I just moved into a townhouse on Westmore Dr.in Springfield. I get absolutely no reception in my house. I've called Cingular twice and they haven't returned my calls. My neighbor just moved in and he doesn't get reception either. When the COX cable guy came out, he couldn't get a signal on his cell phone to call COX and tell them to initialize my service. I think it has something to do with the big traffic alert sign that is on the right as you pass Westmore and head to the mixing bowl... I think it jams the signals.

No reception at all around Grundy and did not have reception until driving approx. 45 minutes away from Grundy heading for Kentucky.

For the section of Beulah between Charles Arrington Drive, crossing the Springfield / Franconia parkway (by the Healthplex), continuing to Steiway St. is a deadzone for AT&T / Cingular. In the Manchester Lakes shopping center you get spotting coverage outside of the buildings, but NO coverage within Bungalowes. My girlfriend has Verizon and she has full coverage in these area. AT&T claims, after several phone calls, that this area has perfect coverage (listed as excellent on their maps). I filed a technical issue with them regarding this, and they responded back within an hour saying the problem has been fixed. No it hasn't - my phone still looses service there as do everyone else I know who has AT&T.

AT&T / Cingular sucks in this area. "Fewest dropped calls"... Yeah... OK... Sure. If I ever live in this area I think I'll ask my employer for an AT&T phone so I won't have to worry about them calling in the middle of the night.
