When I switched to AT&T 4 years ago I was told a tower would be up in my area within 6 months. Still no tower!

There are a couple of spots, and I do mean very small spots, where you can stop and get 2 / 3 bars but you cannot move or you lose it! There is basically no AT&T reception in the town of Gilbert or the outlying areas.

In Gilbert, AT&T has no service and Verizon has some. North in Man which is 12 miles away, AT&T has service and Verizon has none.

my phone gets signal in some odd places and I didnt have ANY signal in Williamson, Matewan, Red Jacket, or anywhere else. I drove to williamson from northeast PA and I lost signal an hour before I got there and didnt get it back till I was back north of williamson the next day. The funny part is that AT&T's coverage map reflects the most service on their coverage map, and 95% of you above who have AT&T also say it sucks. 1 Alltel user above loves their service and their coverage map says they HAVE NO service in the area. Verizon owners have all the luck but Verizon's coverage map HAS NO service in the area. One of the locals says the best cell coverage there is Appalachian Wireless, but how would I know whether other providers allow A.W. to use their towers so I'll have the signal I need all over WV, VA, PA and NJ ? Let's try to get this story straight - who in ALL of WV has the best coverage in Williamson, Matewan, etc AND still has full nationwide coverage?

AT and T is HORRIBLE in Summersville, Cowen, Webster area. Do not get AT&T. Go with U.S. Cellular in these areas. You will be dropped occasionally, but at least they have towers.

I own a 1,400 foot hill that I contacted AT&T about to install a tower. I was referred to a regional manager and made my offer known. I never got a reply. Works good in 25045.

There is VERY little to no reception on this stretch of road on RT. 20. Does not matter the carrier - I've tried, Cellular One, U.S. Cellular, NTELOS and now AT&T - no reception from ANY Carrier - a tower on this stretch of road would do WONDERS for the cell reception and actually help the Cell business with new Customers if they could actually get reception at their houses instead of having to drive 10 miles from their house before they even get 1 bar of service - VERY FRUSTRATING

 Elk River, Procious, WV 25164 Tue Jun 29, 2010

AT&T Coverage map indicated some coverage at Hartland, but I was not able to get ANY service at all between Hartland and Procious. For what it's worth, I am on the Verizon network but was told that I would have no problem roaming off of an AT&T tower if one was available. I was also on the river the entire time, so not sure if that would have affected the coverage. Still, was quite inconvenienced at not being able to get any service whatsoever for 3 days, when the AT&T coverage map indicated that I would.
