A serious "dead zone" at ground level that includes out house, and extends around Greenlawn and Gattis School Rd. I miss calls if I'm in my living room. It's better upstairs, but not great.

Fairly good coverage in the area. Call quality is usually good; though, there are a few random dropped calls. I've found the coverage better than Sprint's coverage in Austin. Though, Verizon needs to update their phone selection. I've had my phone for two years and none of the Verizon phones look appealing. AT&T has the iPhone, Sprint has the Pre, and Verizon has a stripped-down Blackberry with no wi-fi. I'm trying to decide whether to wait on Verizon getting the Pre or jumping ship to AT&T for the iPhone.

Constant dropped calls. If not every call, every other call. I always enjoy it when the Sprint customer service person says, "I can't hear you, you are really breaking up." I like to point out that I am roughly in the center of Austin. I always give my Sprint commercial: Don't use sprint, don't ever use sprint, dear God don't use sprint. or "You can't hear me now." -my personal favorite.

I drove from 49th and Lamar to Capitol of Texas highway and Spicewood Springs road and there was no coverage the entire way. It's cloudy today.

I get ok 3G reception outside, but inside signal goes to edge with two bars.

Inside my house, I will fluctuate between 2 and 3 bars. I don't recall ever having a dropped call and calls are always crystal clear. I also work at the Dell, Inc. Round Rock campus and get about the same reception inside the buildings. Outside, both at home and at work, I get full 5 bars.

Phone constantly bounces between (E)dge and 3G coverage - shotty call quality at best - and constantly miss incoming calls. AT&T's maps show this to be a good coverage area - what a JOKE! I get better data and voice service with tin cans and string.

Excellent reception and coverage with Verizon. Have traveled all over the country and been able to make and receive calls as well as check email and surf the web in the most remote locations. Coverage in Austin has been flawless for me. I really want an iPhone 3G and am concerned about the majority of bad AT&T reviews. My neighbor has one, though, and doesn't experience any issues.

Never a day without dropped calls. Error messages appear sometimes "Network busy, or network error" but usually my call just gets really quiet and I find I am talking only to myself. Extremely frustrating.

Never a dropped call. Always clear. Great data speeds. No complaints or problems with Verizon in this area.
