Coverage Reviews for Dallas, TX 75209

Rating | Carrier | Zip Code

T-Mobile

Moved here from Tennessee. I get 4-bars reception here in the building but the T-Mobile signal drops to no bars very regular during the day. So when I am on a call, the call gets drop and the T-Mobile phone shows "Searching". This is bad new T-Mobile. I do not know why T-Mobile is working so well in Europe but so bad over here!I wish I can find a better service

Verizon

Coverage on campus is terrible. Often when inside a building, there will be 0-1 bars, making it difficult to place a call or send a text but nearly impossible to use 3g data. Most areas outdoors have poor-average coverage.

T-Mobile

Moved to Dallas from the West Coast with my T-Mobile phone. I had great reception on the West Coast, but down here, not so much. Killer for me is that I have absolutely 0 reception where I work in Downtown Dallas, and almost no reception at home, just 20 miles north of the city. WiFi calling should be sufficient to fill in these gaps, but my call quality seems to be highly unstable using this feature.

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.

AT&T

We have the most wretched reception on our iPhones w AT&T. Have to GO OUTSIDE to talk and even then it's iffy. We should have much better quality for what we pay.

Verizon

My wife just got on Verizon yesterday. Generally getting 1-3 bars in the house, but she's experiencing poor call quality and garbled conversations. Where as I have ATT and a FULL signal all the time and excellent call quality, no garbled voices EVER. Weird. I assumed Verizon would be as good as ATT. Not at all. Not here at least. Buyer beware!

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

Service inside my house is 2 bars at best but generally 1 bar or no bars. I would get rid of my land line which is 98% telephone solicitors if I could at least somewhat rely on cell service which I cannot at this time

AT&T

Coverage is spotty in certain parts of house. Brick veneer 100% of exterior. Closest AT&T tower about 3 miles to SW. Have considered AT&T microcell device but it does not appear to be rated well by users.

AT&T

we have AT&T cell phones and get no reception at or in our house. This is very frustrating. I have purchased (should have been given) AT&T booster. It corrected nothing. I am thinking of switching both our phones to another carrier... . 214-676-0546 and 214-850-1232. please advise

T-Mobile

Tmobile sucks monkey b**ls. No reception inside buildings. Very bad reception inside home. And surprisingly even outside, the reception keeps fluctuating through a call! It's frustrating and irritating. Switching to AT&T or metro pcs.

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

I have had Sprint service since 2000 and have lived in the Lower Greenville / M-Streets area since 2005. I have no service in my home, in my yard or anywhere in my neighborhood. As soon as I drive away my phone starts dinging with voicemails when I've received NO calls and SOMETIMES my text messages will be held. Otherwise, they're lost in outer space... .which I'm sure has better reception than my neighborhood!

Sprint

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

Sprint

Service constantly drops as I approaching home on Gaston Avenue, either from Garland Rd.of from Abrams Road. Very poor service at home. 50% of the time I cannot make a call from my cell phone at home, either indoors or walking my dog around the neighborhood.

Verizon

I am using a DroidX from Verizon which I recently got from work. My signal strength is 3 - 4 bars from my residence. I haven't noticed any problems with dropped calls and garbled conversations. I also have an older Blackberry 8310 as my personal phone with ATT as my service provider. From my residence my signal strength varies from 2 - 3 bars and sometimes less. I get garbled connections all the time and then I have to call them back on my landline. I am considering changing my personal service from ATT to Verizon and hope this will correct my problem with poor signal strength from my residence.

I get garbled connections all the time and then I have to call them back on my landline. Recently I took a job and was issued a Motorola Android thru Verizon. I use this phone for work and make calls from my residence. It seems to have a much stronger signal. I don't know if the phone has any bearing on the reception or if it is the service provider. I am considering changing my personal service to Verizon and hope this will correct my problem with poor signal strength from my residence.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile cellphone service goes from SOS to 0 to 3 bars and data goes from SOS to edge to EDGE to 4G coverage changes throughout the day. Many calls drop or we get message “Calling” to “! Call FAILED please try again” without connecting. T-Mobile is a very bad choice in Dallas, Tx. They hook you with low rate then charge you a $200 per line fee when you cancel the agreement because you moved or changed work locations and are in a new location that does not get coverage. They will offer you the option of finding someone to take over the agreement via Change of Responsibility, but what kind of friend would you be dumping your crappy T-Mobile service off on a friend or family member that is if you have any friends left since you will lose touch with them because they can never reach you. This practice of not letting the customer out, because the cell service provider can't service the client is only used by T-Mobile and give the major holes in coverage, is a major part of their revenue strategy. T-Mobile will cost you more in the long run. Don’t do it! Like many other ex-clients you will find yourself at the court house filing in small claims court to recoup the $200 per line on the grounds that they made material changes to your agreement(by changing the fee structure)before you made material changes (by canceling). Just choose Verizon or AT&T but NOT T-Mobile.

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.

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

Have static on received calls 25% of the time... ready to switch to Verizon...

Sprint

I have been with Sprint for almost 12+++ yrs. Reception in this are it's very bad ever since I remember. Now I have an unlimited data plan, but its so limited due to bad reception. Considering switching to an other carrier. Or, its there anything that can be done to fix the problem ?

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!?

Sprint

No phone or text in or out in this area. Tech support told me that tower is down and will be up on Aug 15. Funny thing is phone shows at least 3 bars and the web access works on the phone. Also just a block away all the services work.

Sprint

My phone will indicate I have full bars but no incoming or outgoing calls. Also evdo is down. This is very frustrating. I am thinking of dropping Sprint because of this.

Verizon

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

AT&T

I have been on AT&T for 10 years and have gone through bouts of bad receptions / dropped calls. But for the last 5 years AT&T has given me no trouble at all. My job takes me around both Dallas and Ft. Worth. 3 month ago I got an iPhone 4. No lost or dropped calls, anywhere, at any time. Today I was 2 levels under a 36 story down town high rise parking garage, 3 bars, perfect reception. I like dublin dr. peppers and drive out to dublin to pick them up myself, cheaper then mail ordering 5+ boxes. No big cities, no 3G just 2G / edge, I called a friend's land line last time on my iPhone. Couldn't tell where I was or that I wasn't on a land line myself.

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.
