Coverage Reviews for Dallas, TX 75229

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.

T-Mobile

Just switched from AT&T to T-Mobile yesterday and T-Mobile has lied. There is not good coverage in my area. I stay at between 1 bar and 2 bars in my home. If I walk outside the most bars I get are 3. I signed up for the $70 dollar unlimited talk, text and data. Yet many times the website time out because even the edge service drops off. Right now I'm looking at my device (Iphone 4) and I have only one bar. Good grief. I should have stayed at AT&T. Also be forewarned, T-Mobile has equally crappy customer service. Long waits, customer support agents that don't know anything, tell you to hold one moment and then cold transfers you, many against outside of the U.S. whose background noises include children crying and people laughing and yelling as if their home office is right in the middle of their living room, etc. Terrible. I'm requesting my money back in the morning.

AT&T

Have had wonderful service with iPhone 5 all over town. Regularly travel between north and south Dallas with absolutely no problems. The dropped calls of old no longer occur.

Sprint

Pitiful in Irving. Going to switch to another carrier when contract up.

AT&T

No reception in the building due to Verizon blocking signal with in house Ant.

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

We are adding a cell phone booster with directional antenna to see if this helps - we get 1-2 bars in the house and 3 bars in the front yard using iphone 4s.

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

Sprint

Sprint LTE reception is spotty at best. It does seem that the CDMA only network works well. Am hoping that the LTE network improves as Sprint continues to upgrade its services.

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.

Sprint

2 or 3 bars max..3 mbs disappointing speed consistantly.

MetroPCS

Cannot get good call quality inside my apartment, where the walls are NOT made of rock, and other carriers enjoy great call quality. I'm NOT using Metro 4G.

AT&T

terrible reception in the Hackberry Creek neighborhood. Sometimes it's decent but mostly way below average. If I go outside, I get a little better reception, but indoors is pretty bad.

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

Noticed the same loss of coverage over the last couple of months as another review mentioned Used to work fine, but recently I've had to wander around the backyard to find decent reception. I work at home sometimes, and often have to field after hours calls. It can be quite annoying and disruptive. Any one know why this would have happened just out of the blue?

Sprint

Have one bar for voice and for data 4G not available,3G is so bad that I stopped using any data. Sprint markets unlimited data crap which no one can use. Stuck for now with them but will be out soon.

AT&T

No reception whatsoever inside my apartment, and not a good service in my area.

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.

Sprint

Live and work in Coppell, and Sprint coverage is 0 or 1 bar at all times at both places. Internet extremely slow on phone, and constant drain on battery.

AT&T

Every call made inside apartment drops.. Outside the best is 2-3 bars before going down to 1 bar. Absolutely the worst service ever.. I never experienced this with any carrier.

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.
