AT&T
when AT&T "bought out" Cingular they sold out all the towers I know so many people who where with AT&T that where so happy switched and now there under contract and customer service either says I cant help you and your stuck or sorry we get calls about this all the time and they wont tell us whats wrong. Most every one I kno that had AT&T blame Cingular but the truth is AT&T owns like 70% stock in Cingular so for what ever reason except to make billions by tricking all there customers into switching I dunno but they have "the most dropped calls" "not the fewest"

I work for Sprint at the City Plex Towers and have access to the mapping tools that show coverage for any area. I know for a fact that Tulsa's Sprint coverage is horrible. In addition, Sprint is the only carrier to outsource its Customer Support to the Phillipines and India. I would not use Sprint if someone payed me. I have Cingular. To put the difference in signal reception in perspctive, I work in the 20 story tower, 14th floor, and have full signal in each of the 3 towers. The Sprint LG 325 on the other hand, does not pick up 1 bar. So, between the GSM phone and the CDMA phone, you have a difference of full signal strength and no signal strength. And to the people posting about AT&T using Cingular towers, AT&T used TDMA, not GSM. The towers are not the same. That's why Cingular required you to swap to Cingular. Thy're getting rid of TDMA. Also, my manger has Tmobile, and his T-Mobile signal indoors, 12-15 stories up, has about 3 bars normally. The other day, he lost his T-Mobile signal completely and picked up my Cingular signal! This goes to show that even between carriers using the same network type, there are differences, and it depends on that carrier's network whether or not you get good reception.

I cannot complain one bit. I'm a bit of a cell phone freak and no matter which phone I'm using, the coverage is always 5 bars.

Amazing Service in general. Please remember, cell phones were never designed to be a replacement for land lines, however Cingular really comes close...

Cell service has always been bad, but in the last month has really gone down hill. Lots of dropped calls, one bar or no bars, always rolling over to roam and then roam is bad too. I have made a complaint to Sprint. With the other complaint from the same area I hope they do something. Neighbour reports similar problem with Sprint.

Since the big AT&T purchase my cellular service has gone to pot.

Moved here in July 2005 and the reception was very poor... now it has gotten a little better with the Nextel merger. We've got old phones and I think if we get new phones that will help. It seems like whichever phone company you go with, you always get screwed at some point. Thanks!

My phone drops calls on a near daily basis!. I am merely a half mile or two from NUMEROUS towers yet have HORRIBLE recption. Funny thing is calls routinely drop between 11-15 minutes even though I am showing complete reception strength! Recently, calls have been lasting up to 50 minutes with crashing. It is extremely frustrating and obnoxious!I have gotten two new phones, and three new chargers over the past 8 months and keep hearing the same tired excuses when I go to my TMobile location. I'm told that these are just "bad" phones and "bad" chargers. Translation, "I don't know, I don't care, and I'm not about to get off my ass" to give good customer service! I can't seem to correct these problems no matter what avenue I take or how I go about taking it! Presently, since getting yet another new phone, I can not check VM, dial or receive calls, connect to tzones or web, etc. I have full "bars" as I begin to dial number, after dialing for a few secs, I receive a "call failed" message and show NO "bars"! A friend of mine also indicated that this location was HORRIBLE for cell phones but, like myself, she could not explain WHY there is crappy service here. Anyone know the S Tulsa area? Sure would appreciate ANY tips you may have to ensure reception! THX

Down hill, west of 71st and Yale. Very poor reception - bars drop when call is taken. AT&T (TDMA) was good at this location, as is T-Mobile (GSM).
