Coverage Reviews for Austin, TX 78727

Rating | Carrier | Zip Code

Verizon

Terrible in my house and throughout the subdivision on my iPhone... Serviceable when I go west or south from Gattis School and Cty Rd 122 intersection.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile has spotty, if at best the worse coverage on Equestrian Trail (78727) and in the area. Dropped calls are constant.

Verizon

I get great phone and internet coverage with Verizon. I work at a hospital and that is the only time I have ever had any problems with internet (super slow or doesn't work at all). I assume it is because of the building.

T-Mobile

strong 4g coverage-3 drops in 2years.voice calls are clear

Verizon

Poor reception- only two bars most of the time. Also, phone goes into roaming occasionally and consumes all of the battery strength. I also have dropped calls zone around the University.

AT&T

ATT coverage is awful even with micro cell.

Sprint

Sprint is horrible; frequent dropped calls from our home, consistently weak signal and lousy coverage

T-Mobile

Reception is iffy and hops technologies all the damn time. Skips between 4G / 3G / EDGE and then no data at all. Annoying.

Verizon

I have 2 bars of service usually in this part of Williamson County. No dropped calls.

Verizon

Nearly 0 LTE coverage inside the house and out, it happens very randomly and for only a few minutes at a time. While on 3G it usually hovers around -90 dBm (1-2 bars) inside and outside. Poor coverage in this area.

AT&T

AT&T phone service is fine but their data service is atrocious. I recently moved from the panhandle where the service was great no issues. I am greatly dissatisfied with AT&T service in Round Rock.

Sprint

Since about Nov 2011, I have 0 or 1 bars on my cell phone inside or outside my house in the Oak Forest Neighborhood. I had excellent reception a few years ago. It is not my phone. The phone shows full strength / excellent reception while driving north on Hwy. 183 from the Arboretum area. Once you take the Oak Knoll exit and start driving west on Oak Knoll, the signals suddenly drop to 0 or 1 bars. Complaining to Sprint repeatedly has had no effect as they claim to have no problem with the towers in the area! The Customer Service is not at the site of the problem. How can they claim there is no problem without actually testing out the reception in the problem area?

AT&T

AT&T service inside my condo has plummeted in the last month or so. Not that it was really great before, but it was at least acceptable. Now I can rarely have a phone conversation that lasts over 30 seconds. I see "call failed" too many times to count... outgoing calls are often dropped before it even rings on the other side, and incoming calls often go to voicemail and do not show up as an incoming call. (However, the callers tell me that they heard several rings before voicemail picked up, so it the call didn't go straight to voicemail. While stationary, my phone will frequently bounce from 0 bars to 1 bar, to "Searching... " to "No Service", back to 1 bar, then 2 bars, then back to 0 bars (in less than a minute). AT&T technical support told me that one tower was down, but that really shouldn't have any effect on my service, especially since I've been having problems for over a month and the tower just went down "today." He also attributed it to the increase in users. He suggested that I purchase a microcell tower for $199. Seriously? I would be fighting to get out of my contract if it wasn't up in about a month. I really hope I can get better service from another carrier.

Sprint

Got home repeater from Sprint and since then the reception has been great at our house.

Sprint

Sprint coverage is 2 out of 5 in this area. Very spotty coverage. My T-Mobile phone though works perfect in this area, no issues.

Verizon

This part of Round Rock is far from any Verizon antenna and reception is poor to non-existant in many areas. I routinely drop calls on the local roads and in my house.

Sprint

Yeah Sprint is down right now people they say they are working on the repairs. So stand by to stand by

Sprint

1st floor condo hardly anything for a few minutes at a time

T-Mobile

Receiption was about perfect for 3 years but now going downhill. Company has done something but, like other big companies, is keeping it hush-hush. Am looking at other carriers now as I only care about receiption.

AT&T

No, or very little reception in this area. Thinking the change from OK to poor coverage happened about the time of the 4G LTE roll-over.

AT&T

I have full bars on AT&T w 3g coverage... I'm able to make / receive calls and regular txt fine, but I get NO data, cant get safari to connect, cant send / receive pic txt or other data.

AT&T

Get poor to no reception in the AT&T Labs building. Ain't that a kick in the pants.

Sprint

I have had my Sprint service and brick cell phone (ok, I'm a Luddite) for over a decade and had excellent reception inside and outside the house (hardly ever fewer than 3 bars). For about a month or more now, I see no bars at all either inside or outside. If a call comes / goes through, it is dropped soon enough and cell phone is frequently beeping, looking for service. What is going on?

Verizon

I've always had great reception with Verizon on my Blackberry - but - sometimes it's just a couple bars in the house. That's because I have a metal roof. If I go outside everything works fine.

Sprint

What happened to my Sprint reception today? (10 / 25 / 2011). I have always reveived perfect reception and today it is changing to 0 bars or 1 bar... I have had Sprint for 15 years and have always found them to provide the best coverage all over Texas as well as the US... what's going on?

Sprint

SPRINT works EXCELLENT for me in the Scofield Ridge Subdivision of Austin, and everywhere in North and Northwest Austin. I had AT&T but canceled after years with them, due to constant dropped calls and other technical issues. I've had Sprint now since 1 / 2011 and have had only 1 dropped call since. Sprint has added more towers for cellular, and are now utilizing their NEXTEL towers as well for cellular service I'm told. OVERALL: EXCELLENT SERVICE

AT&T

My contract is finally up in Aug and I can't wait to switch. Between the phone and the lack of service I might as well be using homing pigeons for communication. I can't believe that AT&T has the nerve to charge what they do for 1980's cell coverage in the Austin area. If you want to be an isolationist then get the AT&T service because you won't ever be able to talk to anyone.

AT&T

We recently moved to our new house on yaupon and texas plume. The reception is virtually non-existent. I have been using ATT for several years now and this is the first time I am having issues with their service. Very rarely the call gets connected and within a few seconds, the call is dropped and the phone shows 0 bars. I am almost certain we will switch to a different carrier in a few weeks.

AT&T

very poor reception on Infuse 4g but I get 3 to 4 bars on my non smart phones (samsung blackjack and Nokia go phone). Wonder if it is an issue with Samsung Infuse

Sprint

While I've had all kinds of problems with Sprint's trying to sell me 4G laptop connectivity and not delivering (went thru 2 devices, 3 major American cities, no luck) and Sprint's having sold me a very poor phone (HTC Hero - absolute piece of garbage), until now I had no complaints about their coverage. Just moved to the northwest hills of Austin and the calls drift in and out and drop regularly in my new house. Three strikes Sprint, you're out. I'm going to find another carrier after *12* years!
