NE 165th St. / 176 Ave.NE intersection, Woodinville, WA 98072 Wed Mar 23, 2005

After Cingular bought AT&T, they apparently (by own technical service admission) decomissioned several TDMA antennas. Formerly had excellent reception at my home in Woodinville, now have 1 bar or NO RECEPTION (MOST OF THE TIME!)... even in a 1 mile radius around my house. This is true for my wife's Nokia phone also. Cingular at first suggested it might be okay for me to just accept no coverage at home (it's only at home that you don't have coverage after all!)... then proposed switching to a much costlier GSM phone and plan. I told them I'd be shopping around (their customer service didn't seem too helpful at this point... and they clearly didn't care that they had essentially "dropped me as a customer" without warning).

This phone has recieved superbly at this location for the past two years. This fall however, no change in bars but all calls in or out are gone the phone just tries in vain to redial. Thanks ATT / Cingular.

Shelter Bay, La Conner, WA 98257 Mon Jan 30, 2006

There are a few spots I can get coverage, about a 3 block range. The signal apparently gets coverage from T-Mobile. Cingular states since I have a contact for service, even though I can not use my phone where I live, there is no service here, or in 95% of LaConner, that is besides the point, I am stuck. My contract ends in the near future, and I am leaving Cingular. I would not suggest them, or their (lack of) customer service.

Though Cricket says they have cell towers that provide service in Ridgefield, there is no reception beyond one mile of the I-5 / Exit 14 junction. Most disappointing. However, my LG5200 with Verizon gets great reception.

Cricket claimed to have reception in Ridgefield, but it drops to no bars just one mile west of the I-5 junction. Not good. I get excellent reception from Verizon on my LG 5200.

There is a dead spot at this location. move a quarter of a mile either way and you get great reception. It is the only dead spot I have found. Otherwise, the signal strength elsewhere is strong.

Langley,Wa, Langley, WA 98260 Thu Nov 30, 2006

I had service with Nextel for several years and began having problems( no service) 3 wks ago. Nextel insists that it's an equipment problem though my phone did work for 4 days after I had complained to Nextel ( after 2wks of the intermittent "no service" problem). Called a 2nd time after the brief 4 day period when the phone worked and was basically told to buy a new phone. Am not certain that will help. Don't feel that Nextel much cares but will have my phone checked.
