Does AT and T even have towers in Austin? I would think not from the reception that I get. Most calls are dropped, and before I bought another phone (it appears the one that came with my plan was made to self-destruct about a month before my contract was up), the only reception that I could get was inside of my house.

Sprint is the only company I've ever had. It has always worked everywhere I've been. Except inside my house in southeast Travis County. It fluctuates wildly inside the house and usually will drop a call 80% of the time. Outside the house the signal is better, but less than 3 bars. Less than 1 / 4 mile away I get near perfect reception. I must be on the edge of 2 different towers and the signal is being transferred between them too rapidly. Such is the nature of CDMA. One caveat is I have solar shielding in my roof. This tends to affect all weak radio signal reception inside the house. I don't think any other carrier is goin to be any better until the gap is filled by another tower.

I can get very limited reception on the sidewalk in front of my house; in the house, not even that.

I live in Circle C on Van Winkle Ln. My reception in the house is good, but inconsistant. The signal goes from 1 bar to 4 bars, even when sitting still. 90% of the time my reception is good without dropping the call.

Constant problems with dialing out (dial a number and phone does nothing). Problems receiving calls (someone calls and the phone never rings even though I have full signal). Problems receiving voice mails (When 1 voicemail finally does come though, 3 or 4 show up from days to weeks earlier that I never received). AT&T has replaced this phone 3 times now and each time I have the same problem with the new phone. We will be terminating our contract with o paying the early fee due to the text / messaging increase. I don't know if the problem is with AT&T or LG's phone, but enough is enough. AT&T customer service was at the most a complete waste of time when it came to helping me.

Calls go straight to voicemail and sometimes get the message that I have voicemail 2-3 hours after the call came in. Can't use the phone in the house (Meadow Woods subdivision) and there are at least 2 towers within 1-2 miles from me. Service just plain STINKS. I had ATT years ago with the same problem and switched to Cingular which was better. Now that it is back to ATT, I am looking to switch. My son has Verizon and doesn't seem to have problems.

Bars range from 0-3. I constantly get dropped calls and call that go striaght to voicemail. T-Mobile has claimed they will be extending coverage for the past two years with no improvement at all. If you plan to talk at home, choose a different provider!
