AT&T Wireless (TDMA)

This is true before the Cingular merger and since then also. Any time I get a call and I'm in the Ivywild neighborhood, I let it go to voicemail now. I can not hear them, they can't hear me... Why pay for the minutes? It's a waste or time and effort!

Changed from ATT TDMA. Reception did not improve. Not worth trying to make any important calls in this area. Desperately looking at changing service, if only because of lack of service from ATT / Cingular.

I am so unhappy. I went from reliable AT&T TDMA to Cingular GSM after the change over. I can get 5 bars in most of town but I can only talk for about ten minutes at any point before the phone drops the call. I have never had a call that was over 15 minutes that didn't drop. The bars dwindle to 1 and then the call drops. As soon as the call drops the phone goes back to 5 bars. AAAAARRRRGGGGH! This is the second v551. I had the first replaced as a warranty problem after 25 days. This happens in Denver / Aspen / Colorado Springs on the highway / at my house etc. I really want to go back to TDMA, it worked and only dropped when there was no tower. Now I am stuck with a 2 year GSM plan. Never again.

Actually this is west of the intersection. Reception goes from 4 bars to 0-1 as you go west on Vickers 0.1 to 0.2 miles - you are entering a valley, but it is wide open to the west.

Reception here has been bad since 2000. They say that they are adding more 'cells' but no change has been noticed. Changed to GSM and nothing changed.

At my house, I get "average" to "good" AT&T reception during the morning, during the afternoon coverage drops to no reception and switches to a very static ROAM (Verizon) coverage. Why is there good coverage in the morning, and no coverage in the afternoon? Solar disturbances?

AT&T on the GSM network has poor to no coverage on most of the west side of Colorado Springs. Dropped calls happen regularly at 32nd St & W Colorado Ave. heading west all the way into Manitou Springs at Manitou Ave and Crystal Park Rd. The AT&T GSM network also drops calls on Uintah & 24th St up to Uintah & 30th St. The reception has gotten worse since they have announced that "AT&T customers have twice the coverage."

Sprint has pretty decent coverage in North Central Colorado Springs. I use my cell as a home phone and once-in-awhile get a call dropped when inside my apartment. I'd rate coverage inside at 3.5 and outside at 4.0 out of 5.0. Remember that coverage also depends on the phone being used.
