Coverage Reviews for Dallas, TX 75248

Rating | Carrier | Zip Code

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

my phone reception has been out since March 22... this is Sunday morning

Sprint

Phone calls are ok however 3g stinks and I have never had 4g service work at the house or around The Colony. Don't go with Sprint.

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!

Verizon

4G speeds are all over the place as far as speed, but mostly in the 1mb DL and 0.8 mb UL. 3G speeds are awful! It takes a 5 minute youtube video, 10 minutes to load and play.

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

Very poor reception in the entire area. Phones are unuseable inside and not much better outside. 1 Bar is typical but, on a really good day, you might get 2. Also, the AT&T phones have been totally worthless when raveling. Neither phone is useable at any of our typical destinations (Il and OK). Searching for a new provider now.

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.

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

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

all calls fade out, not dropped, and person on other side cannot hear

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

Can not use my cell phone inside the house. Have to go outside to make a call.

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!

T-Mobile

Very seldom have even one bar. Calls when they get through are almost immediately dropped. Very seldom can even send text messages-long waits before sends if at all. Even more frustrating than AT@T.

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.

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.

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.

AT&T

Had to force AT&T to send me a micro cell to get reception in the house...
