Coverage Reviews for Denver, CO 80230

Rating | Carrier | Zip Code

Sprint

We seem to be in a dead zone. My phone works well in other parts of the city, but at home every, EVERY call drops.

AT&T

Terrible service in the middle of the Denver Tech Center (which I find ironic). Calls consistently drop. Incoming calls frequently go directly to voice mail with no ring. And then it will be hours before a notification comes that someone actually left a message. We have to be on the upper floor next to a window, not touching the phone, with an earpiece, and not moving to be able to hold long-term conversations. Everyone I know with an iPhone has made the switch to Verizon with nothing but praise for voice and data connection and speed. I'll be making the change soon as well.

Verizon

Not always this way. Changes throughout the day. 34th floor near a structural beam inside. I'm guessing the larger skyscrapers my be interferring.

Verizon

I pay this much $$ to have crap reception DOWNTOWN!

T-Mobile

Strangely, we had decent coverage until about 2 months ago, but now about 50% of calls are garbled. Have had tmoble 8 years at same location, but considering dropping service. Two users on different manufacturer phones experiencing same issue. Swapped out sim card two days ago, no change.

AT&T

Up until the last two months, I've had pretty good reception for both voice and data on my iPhone. But in December, the service has become intermittent. At times, I can't make or receive calls. Texts don't go through. I can't get onto the web at all. I've tried rebooting my phone several times to no avail. According to a map of AT&T cell towers, there's one about 1 / 2 mile from my house, so I don't understand why I'm suddenly bereft of service. This really, really sucks. :-(

AT&T

No reception in the building - You have to go outside, and even then, you're lucky if you can make a call without it dropping. I even have a difficult time checking my voicemail.

Verizon

Trouble with reception ever since moving here. E.G., one call to Verizon customer service was dropped 6 times! Other times I got no signal at all. Verizon finally sold me a refurbished network extender that piggybacks on Comcast internet for $49.95. It helps, but Comcast's internet service has problems of its own that impact the Verizon network extender. However, other Heather Gardens residnts have told me that all carriers have a dead zone in front of our building on E. Marina Dr.

AT&T

I have to walk out of my house and down the walk to get any coverage at all to make calls and then it still drops. There are dead spots all over the neighborhood. When I asked ATT about it, the rudest customer service representative answered my complaint with a link to their map and effectively wrote - "We do have coverage in your area - look at where the orange is. you are stupid." Right - so the fact that I can't make a call is wrong, but your map that a child could have scribbled on is right. Got it.

Sprint

I work, live, and play in eastern Aurora and I dont get coverage anywhere! Despite paying for 4G, Ive actually connected only once ever at a T.G.I.F. off of I-225. I find myself walking around parking lots and contorting myself to hear a clear call all the time. On 3G, it takes 10 minutes to load a song on pandora then constantly skips. Complaints to the BBB go unresolved. Sprint is the worst carrier Ive had in my 14 years of use. 1 more year on the contract and I dump them forever!

T-Mobile

Only one tower reaches my home, or so T-Mobile says after filing a complaint of internet reception. I use a dell streak 7 and in my home it shows 4G and max bars. However its not connected and hardly connects for any lenght of time.

AT&T

Coverage is almost non-existant here, my battery dies by noon beacuse the phone is constantly searching for service. AT&T Wireless does NOT work in Downtown Denver

AT&T

Couldn't text, use Internet, or email, etc for the whole day. Almost went to apple to switch out the iPhone, on the way back to boulder service picked up. This is pathetic AT&T

Sprint

I'm in the Park Hill neighborhood in Denver and my husband and I both have Sprint android phones. The reception is terrible for phone calls. About half of all incoming calls don't even ring when we're in the house, and calls that do make it through drop without fail, both in our house and when out and about in the neighborhood.

Sprint

Less than 5 miles from the tower and I'm lucky if I can get 1 bar on my phone at home. Sporadic everywhere else in the metro area.. Sprint stinks! But, then again so does everyone else looking at these comments!

AT&T

AT&T sucks balls. They have no interest in cellular coverage in the state of Colorado, let alone a major city such as Denver. AT&T does have one intererest, MONEY. They lock you into a two year contract and steal it. What are customers actually paying $100 plus a month for? A BRICK that has puzzles and games and an occasional Facebook update which only needs wifi to work. I am officially leaving AT&T with the delivery of my new iPhone 5 with 4G and LTE coverage on Verizon. I know there are probably equal complaints with their coverage, but I've been an AT&T prisoner for almost 7 years. Time to go on probation and see if 4G LTE does what 3G on AT&T fails to do everyday.

Verizon

Cannot maintain even a 3g connection. Very frustrating. Other areas I have flawless 4g useage. Dialup was better than this. More towers please.

Verizon

Phone doesn't work at my home or office. I have 0 bars and can't complete a single phone call. Verizon did a test on number of dropped of calls and call quality and suggested I PAY $400 to get a home signal booster. No suggestion for the office though. They suck.

AT&T

I have given up. It has been 2 years since I have been working in the Downtown Denver area, near Arapahoe and Lawrence. I get NO reception. My battery drains in minutes constantly searching for reception and emails. I've complained and it's useless. I can bet money, and I would put $100 down, that I could make a call and it WILL cut out or go silent for a while. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE TIME! Forget data, not even Edge works. AT&T is the biggest crock of $hit I've ever had. WORST network. I'm beginning to think it's APPLE and their $hitty antenna. I'm seriously considering a Samsung and it pains me deeply that my iPhone / AT&T has led me to such lengths. I am an Apple fan since the 90s and I'm about to drop them like a bad habit.

AT&T

Bottom line is that if you live near downtown Denver, do not use AT&Turd. I drop calls often however that isn't the major issue seeing that the last thing I use my phone for is making phone calls. Texting, Facebook, Spotify, Navigation seldom work reliably near downtown Denver. Oh, and my favorite. Try going to a Broncos, Rockies, Nuggets, Avs game and using your AT&Turd phone to text a friend or post on FB. Good luck cuz it ain't happening. I will drop AT&Turd as soon as I can. I pay way to much to only be able to use my phone because of my wifi. Get your crap together AT&T.

AT&T

There is SOMETIMES one place in my house where I can make / receive calls / texts. Service is absolutely horrible. I have to walk a block away from my apartment building to get decent reception.

AT&T

Absolutely terrible service in Denver. I pay WAY too much to not be able to make and receive calls from my home in the middle of a major metropolitan city. Until I moved here, I never had a problem with reception, and didn't understand why AT&T got such a bad rap. Now, I wouldn't recommend AT&T to anyone anymore.

T-Mobile

On the corner of E. Evans Ave and S. Adams St. (7 blocks east of the Evans and University intersection) or 2 blocks of Observatory park, T-Mobile reception here is unbelievably bad. I am almost always on EDGE. Every now and then there will 1 bar of 3G, but those moments are few and far between. Signal strength typically varies from -107dbm to -101dbm. Moving away a couple blocks in most directions definitely helps. About 4-5 blocks away is very strong 3G coverage. Looks like I'm just stuck in a Bermuda Triangle of T-Mobile reception :(

AT&T

Starting about six months ago, from my house I lost coverage. Can no longer receive or make outgoing calls reliably.

T-Mobile

In one room I get no reception, other rooms I get 2 or 3 bars. Had AT&T and Verizon previously (over 2 years ago) with similar experience - actually slightly worse.

AT&T

had service an hour ago and for the past 3 years and no nothing

Sprint

50% of the time I have drop calls. Sure hate I switched from Verizon to Sprint. I did it to same money on a price plan. It's worth the extra money spent on price plan for excellent cell service. I never had a dropped call regardless to where I was. I had Verizon for 7 yrs.

Verizon

Frequent dropped calls and garbled reception. Sometimes I can't dial out, or I receive "all circuits are busy" messages. I also have trouble sending emails at times. Verizon clearly has a problem in this area, probably because of the excessive network utilization caused when traffic backs up on I225 near Parker Road. The maps indicate Verizon has only one tower in the immediate area.

Cricket

Reception sucks!Constantly drop calls,miss calls and text messages.Build some towers on the east side you cheap bastards.For as much as I pay for the service,and I know I am not the only one,you have more than enough money to build a tower on this side of town.Corporate greed is killing our country!

Sprint

by phone is pretty much unusable at my house in SW Denver. Reception is decent other places, like downtown. it even works in the mnts better than it does in SW Denver. I have tried many different Sprint phones in SW Denver and none of them work well.
