AT&T

I get decent reception while "out and about" in Austin. Reception sucks in my apartment building and I have to go outside to answer or dial out. No reception driving to work on Southwest Parkway. Spotty reception at work (Lake Travis High School) but still useable. Great reception while visiting relatives in Houston.

T Mobile works fine around the country but not at my house. Also had poor reception with ATT after their switch to GSM network. poor choices for folks in Zilker Barton Hills may try Sprint next

When you turn off enfield going north on the old part of windsor, you don't lose the call most times but for about a half of mile, you just hear a garbled voice and have to keep saying "hold on". Enfield between Lamar and Mopac is pretty spotty also.

My phone is barely useable anywhere within 10 blocks of this intersection. It is this bad all over the city. I don't even bother trying to make calls on Bee Caves Rd.between 360 and Mopac. This is the worst cell service I have ever had, which is strange because AT&T was the best I have ever had and Cingular acquired AT&T [didn't they?]

The worst phone and reception I have ever had. So hard to conduct business when there's an annoying buzz in the background. A lot of dropped calls. Plus I ordered a new Blackberry hoping it would solve my problems, but the idiots at Cingular couldn't activate my new phone. It sat on my desk for 3 1 / 2 weeks before I decided to send it back and look for a new carrier.

I live and work in 78702 and I can't use my cell phone at home or at my office. There is a tiny area between them - i'll get good service for about 2 blocks - then nothing.

One bar at home, completely unreliable for outbound and inbound calls. (TDMA service). Also bad / unreliable out 2222 between 360 and 620.

Occasionally my reception will be clear, and T-Mobile has a funny habit of showing more signal bars than I think they actually have. T-Mobile is the worst about dropped calls, but if you don't get your call dropped, it's usually pretty clear. West campus generally SUCKS no matter what cell service you have. If you can afford it, get a land line for more reliability.

Poor to no reception in east austin near Manor and Airport. Never ever let anyone talk you into going with Cingular. Absolutely the worst compnay I've ever dealt with in my entire life. Have had multiple Cingular users at my house with a variety of phones and no one gets a useable signal at my house or anywhere on my street, yet Cingular claims it's the equipment, and that I should buy a new phone. Crooks! Steer clear of these low life jerks and go with anyone else. You would have better luck with some yarn and plastic cups.
