Coverage Reviews for Houston, TX 77040

Rating | Carrier | Zip Code

Sprint

I've had service with Sprint since 2004 and never had I experienced such bad data service as I have these last 3 yrs. I truly believe that they have great voice coverage but it's their data 3G / 4G thats hurting their customers. I understand that the are rolling out LTE but c'mon, their 3g data is a joke.. might as well have no data. 3G DOES NOT WORK at all for me, it takes FOREVER to connect. You get what you pay for.

Sprint

Calls may go straight to voicemail. Unable to send text messages at times. Annoying echoes when able to make or receive calls. Plan to move from Sprint.

T-Mobile

T-mobile sold their towers to Crown Castle so they arent liable for signal issues. When you are a new customer your signal is great and then they throttle you down after some time has gone by. My opinion is that they did something to their network around the time that they were about to make the biggest mistake the company could make and thats teaming up with AT&T. I know that alot of you would agree. I have experience in cell towers and how they operate so thats why I have contacted some of my connections with the FCC and some tested will be mandated on every tower that they claim to have.

Sprint

Dropped calls, Can't understand what they are saying, Phone doesn't ring.

T-Mobile

I have been having problems receiving and sending text messages for a few days now.

T-Mobile

Cannot finish a conversation without a dropped call. Company sucks. No reception in the house, only outside.

T-Mobile

My coverage has been very good. I’ve been with T-mo for ever can’t remember when maybe over 10 yrs. From phone call’s to data stream it has been great!

T-Mobile

Awful signal level inside my home since about a year ago. Contacted several times and went to their retail where they "updated my SIM". Still dropping or unable to place calls from inside home. About 5 months ago a CSR advised they were in the process of installing a new cell in the area, but haven't seen any improvement if they really installed it. Having checked coverage, I might switch to AT&T after 6 years with this carrier.

Verizon

I get almost 0 4g inside my home and fair 4g outside. Once I get to the beltway reception is better. Cell phones are the stupidest thing on earth anymore. The primary function is something they ALL DO terribly by comparison to other technologies. They no longer make quality phone calls and they no longer get good reception. Before smart phones they were better. So I have to ask. What the hell is so smart about it?

T-Mobile

When I complain about no service, they said that I should get my subdivision to approve a tower. I am about 10 blocks from the T-Mobile store and they have reception. Another time they said they would put my address in for better reception.

AT&T

I have complained since Febuary 2012 about reception and dropped calls. Last Thursday they said a tower is "planned" at Brittmore and I-10 but no one knows when it will be completed. Cell is my only service so yeah, this sux.

Sprint

Sometimes my phones goes to roaming, slow 3g speeds, no 4g coverage

AT&T

Very poor reception in a 1 to 2 mile radius or more surrounding this area. Dropped calls, poor reception, no reception and no 3G.

Verizon

On a lease out of Streeter, TX (5 miles from Mason,TX), there is no reception. We were stuck with no vehicle for 6 hours and could not reach out for help.

Verizon

My girl went to reynosa Mexico n she was talking to me in Houston while the cops were havin a shootout with the cartel outside of the building she was in

Sprint

while in my home I can not make or receive calls. I have had Sprint for about 11 years now.

AT&T

This problem started about 3 months ago and has gotten steadily worse. The Apple store switched my phone out today because at least 75% of my calls were dropping. He said that if the new one does the same thing, it is AT&T. Sure enough, I got home with the new phone and five calls dropped right away. If you are thinking of a new iPhone or any other phone with AT&T as your service provider, be careful. The wireless service is unreliable and their customer service is pathetic.

AT&T

We just moved here and all 4 of us with various phones have terrible reception! Is there any way to boost reception?

AT&T

Cant hold more than a 5 minute call. Wifes iphone cant call or recieve.

Verizon

Great Service! Never a dropped call! always receive calls (though I might reject them sometimes) always get my txt in on time, and out when they need you to. Had Sprint, so glad i'm outta that! BEST COVERAGE EVER! it really is no lie.

AT&T

Even though the number of bars was good the reception was terrible. Couldnt talk within the apartment.

AT&T

I never seem to have a problem around my house. No dropped calls and full signal. This is important because my kids need to be able to get hold of me when they are out.

Sprint

Only 18 months to go... Dropped calls, no call received- just routes to voice mail, several failed text attempts. Nothing like paying too much for so little.

AT&T

Good reception if you are not indoors. Some calls go directly to voice mail but Cingular does a fair job in this area. Cingular service people are not very helpful in resoving issues with dropped calls when they happen. They act big and it shows.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile added a site in this area and my coverage improved greatly. The Waste Management land fill on fairbanks impacts coverage for most carriers because the land fill is so high.

AT&T

Many drops when passing this area.. Approx 1 mile north and south of this point on Hwy. 290 will drop signal or loose connection.. Very poor / weak..

AT&T

Have used a Cingular phone in this area for sometime, no dropped coverage

T-Mobile

I have not had any coverage problems with cell phnes in this area, Indoor or out. I get 4 bars of signal strenght in this area exactly as the T-Mobile coverage map says I should and have not had any problems

AT&T

I just changed service from T-Mobile to Cingular on 6 / 8 / 06 whose service / reception was great. With T-Mobile in the office I get reception, but with Cingular can't get reception in my office except I go outside into the open. The calls even drop, had to redial several times on one conversation you imagine the mess and hassle. Even on the road (Hempstead, Pinemont, Clay / Beltway8) the calls drop I only changed to Cingular because of the roll-over if not T-Mobile service was great. But it look as if am going to re-think.

AT&T

Constantly being dropped or can't make calls at all. When people call me, goes straight to VM without ringing. While my colleagues has no problem using Verizon phone. Other parts of the town works okay for me.
