Coverage Reviews for Austin, TX 78758

Rating | Carrier | Zip Code

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

Sprint

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

AT&T

Towers need to be upgraded or so etching because they suck

Verizon

Almost no reception anywhere in Hyde Park. The service is abysmal. Dropped Calls, spotty coverage, NO 3G, almost no internet, texts do not send. Worst coverage experience in Austin.

AT&T

The reception is poor to no reception. All calls get dropped constantly. Thought ATT pride themselves on having good area coverage however that is not the case if you are around the triangle area. Austin is a big City this is not the countryside and it is almost imposible to make or receive a phone call if your carrier is ATT wireless around this area. Time to move to another carrier.

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.

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

Service in my apartment is spotty. Usually I can make complete calls, but calls drop much more often that I would like. The sound quality isn't great either. Overall, it is OK but likely there are better providers for this neighborhood.

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

Due to another carriers tower on top of the building there is no ATT cell coverage in the Oak Park Apartments.

T-Mobile

I have near perfect reception everywhere I go. My friends with Sprint and my room mate with AT&T all have little or no signal for calls or data in my house, I have no issues whatsoever. no complaints at all, my data isnt as fast as I would like, but its faster then any of my friends who use other providers!

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?

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

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.

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!

AT&T

Hopeless service inside my home - I can't successfully make or answer a call indoors. Callers report hearing the ringing stopping, then nothing after I hit the green button to receive the call. Unreliable while standing in my back yard. Calls get dropped every 5-10 minutes, words get dropped every minute. I get notified of voicemail when the phone never rang and AT&T reports no missed calls. For important calls I have to get in my car and drive a mile away. I'm very disappointed in AT&T.

Sprint

Sprint claims that this is in one of there best coverage zones, but I can't even send and receive phone calls or text messages. At best you can only hear evey other word and expect the call to be dropped every few seconds.

T-Mobile

The reception in our home is very bad, dropping voice. We used to have AT&T before, I will be going back.

Sprint

Unable to receive texts from AT&T on the Sprint network after update from Sprint. Called Sprint service and Sprint said they had no means to test or diagnose the problem and attempted to blame their interoperability on AT&T although it was due to a Sprint update. They had no idea what was wrong and were unable to diagnose the problem. Completely incompetent. Canceled contract due to poor service and incompetence. Suggest Sprint users to cancel Sprint, rebel against contracts and excessive charges by providers.

Sprint

Sprint is solid. Better than my girls t mobile and my brothers AT&T by along shot... even in remote areas I still get great coverage. Also in the last few years their customer service is actually good doing a 180 there. They're cheap too, and they have a couple of real nice phones.
