Verizon

Area is signal dead

Verizon

Nearly zero coverage in the Illinois, Keeneland, Loop 12 triangle. Finally had to put a Verizon internet based repeater to get any reception in my home. Now my internet connection is providing service to the entire neighborhood. I pay for it because Verizon won't upgrade their junk. Can't wait for the contract to end. Service is equally bad in the Loop 12 / Singleton area.

AT&T

Signal strength has been getting progressively worse. I cannot use my cell phone inside my home. Outside signal strength is only marginally better. This is a newer, heavily populated development.

MetroPCS

Terrible call quality throughout downtown Dallas and also Mesquite (even with four bars). Routinely will not connect on outgoing calls (with four bars). Will ring endlessly or get a message saying the contact is unavailable. I will immediately use a landline and connect instantly with the contact. The data (3G) is extremely slow and texts are routinely received late (45 minutes or more after the text is sent) or not at all by the contacts. I never experienced these problems with Verizon which I used in the same areas. I was not happy with Verizon's pricing structure but I may have to go back.

AT&T

LTE works everywhere on campus and have between 4-5 bars consistently.

Sprint

Throughout my area in Oakcliff I get like one bar the most three. Sometimes I will get more I just looked at my phone right now this moment I have three bars! I keep having to send out the same message cause it does not send on the first try. Each person I text I have to send the same message over and over until it randomly goes through. Another problem i've encountered I can't make out going calls what is up with that? Who knows if someone is trying to call me right now. I would text someone to call me, but that would mean sending out the message until it feels like going through. This is my first month with Sprint, and what a bad way to start off a two year contract!

T-Mobile

they have ok signal. But sometines thesignal does not work. But it is still good. Hello, hopefully I helped you.

Verizon

Coverage throughout Oak Cliff is almost non-existence. Its rarely above 1 bar and dropped calls are frequent.

AT&T

I have been with you all for years and there has not been any modification of the cell phone reception in this area. The reception is really bad even outside some times. I recently looked thought about purchasing the iPhone 5, but after looking at the cell phone reception area, it would not improve phone calls. There are no new towers in the ares. I have called in and used mark the spot for a while and there is no improvement in the cell reception. Would you let me know if you are going to install any new towers in the area or not so I can switch providers. I hate to do so, but my wife has paralysis and we need better reception as we have to cut back with only one income now. My name is James Boyd (cell #'s 214-502-7764 and 214-796-0896)

AT&T

The service is getting worse each year. Can only talk a few seconds in the driveway and the reception fades in and out. We have obligation to pay bill due to contract so they should have obligation to provide coverage.

Sprint

data really poor no signal. voice dropp calls, I do not even chance to make a call.

Verizon

No more than 1 bar 95% of the time. Always have to go outside my home to take a call. Verizon sent tech to analyze the area. Conclusion is just a bad area and no plans to update.

Sprint

have had zero probs with service from Sprint in entire DFW area. My friends on AT&T have lots of problems almost rendering their phone useless in the uptown area.

Verizon

1x and usually one bar. This when standing on the roof of a 10 story building, outside, and 1 / 2 mile southwest of downtown Dallas. The closest Verizon tower is a 1461 Motor ST, about 2 miles away as the crow flys. I'm at the corner of N. Beckley and Colorado... . No one that has Verizon here gets any better signal. However, the service is great everywhere but where I work

T-Mobile

Drops all of my calls! Dont get service in most of the house or neighborhood! Dot know why this hasnt been fixed

AT&T

I have been battling poor reception for 6 years now and if they can't fix this problem I will have to change providers. Me and the other members of my family. And we are not on the family plan either.

AT&T

terrible reception inside the house... .even if I walk outside, I sometimes fail to get a call out. why haven't they fixed this!?

Verizon

Switched from Sprint because had to go outside to avoid dropped calls. Almost no dropped calls with Verizon.

AT&T

I have the worst possible reception in my house. This has been an ongoing problem for 7 years. I can't believe ATT has not been able to improve reception. I can't believe I continue to renew my contract.

AT&T

I have the worst reception possible at my house of all places. Most calls go straight to voicemail and I do not even see them as missed calls.

AT&T

I have had problems even with my other I-phones. Multiple dropped calls or there is constantly static on the calls.

AT&T

My flight was cancelled tonight and ha to call my travel agent. Call was dropped twice and when the agent called me it went to my vmail as there wasn't a strong enough signal. Overall coverage at the airport is terrible and very weak and intermittent at best. Not surprisingly, trying to email or surf the Internet while waiting around was very slow.

AT&T

I had T-Mobile and switched to At&T because of the Iphone... . my reception is really bad and I have dropped calls all the time. This is the worst service I have ever had.

Sprint

Phone is reliable, but sometimes have dropped calls or calls that go directly to message without ringing... as I am holding the phone waiting for a call back, which is irritating. Phone has been fine. BUT... A pc data card with Sprint - I don't recommend it! It's been a great disappointment. Unable to correct the problem of slow variable connections with their advanced technical service agents. Pantech PX-500 The first year was fine with good connections and speed. This second year has been horrible with speeds of 55kbs - slower than dialup varying up to the promised 700kbs or better. This fluxuation happens every few days... .worse after a storm, and then it is unusable for days. I've had three service tickets on it since March 2008. They tell me it's fixed and cancel them... but the problem isn't fixed. Finally I had the card checked out just to eliminate it being the cause... and it was fine. Something is wrong with the tower-evidently in DeSoto (?). I was able to cancel the contract early without charge only because Sprint changed the contract to limit date to 5GB instead of unlimited. My theory is with more people having internet on their phones, Sprint's system of towers haven't been able to keep up with demand.

Sprint

I've had practically NO service from Sprint in this area... until I bought another phone through their upgrade program. What a difference! Now I have consistent service with a minimum of 4 bars! But I have to believe that Sprint finally placed another antenna in the North Oak Cliff area and that's why service has improved greatly around here. Actually, this phone rocks! I travel a lot and seldom find myself without a signal. I also have a Cingular phone that I have no trouble getting a full 5 bars out of here in the Kessler Park area. I was told by a friend that the quality of the phones makes all the difference in being able to capture and hold a signal. I believe that is true. The Samsung phones are generally quite reliable. Stay away from Sanyo and Sony / Erikkson and certainly run from Motorola! I tried the Nextel network this past summer and it sucks the big one SO BAD that it's practically worthless. I couldn't get ANY signal here in the N. Oak Cliff area AT ALL! Motorola / Nextel puts out some very expensive phones that are absolutely junk! And I had a very expensive model!

AT&T

Customer service notwithstanding, I consistantly have 4 bar coverage throughout Winneka Heights and Oak Cliff in general.

AT&T

Outside I have to walk around to try to find a spot where I can get reception, and a lot of the time if I find reception in one spot, it'll go away after a few minutes. Phones rarely get reception inside or near any of the buildings. Also, a lot of the time it won't even tell me that I've missed a call and even though the person leaves a voice message, I don't receive it depending on which building I'm in on campus. Right after Cingular switched to gsm I could get reception in the middle of the desert in the middle of nowhere in the Western United States, but I can't get good reception in the middle of a major city.

T-Mobile

always good reception - 4 / 5 bars inside my house. Also "Optimal" reception using the T-Mobile / Sony Ericsson EDGE PC card.

AT&T

Going around the Spur 408 gitting onto loop 12 toward Irving.. I allways drop calls..

Sprint

No more than 2 bars in this neighborhood. Going north from Colorado to 30 on Sylvan, ALL calls drop as the road dips. This is within ~100ft of I-30. Cross I30, and reception goes to 5 bars. Face it, Oak Cliff will never see good reception. The neighborhood's not got enough money to attract interest. Friends on ATT / Cingular report the same awful reception in the 'Cliff.
