AT&T

Have to go outside to make calls. Always getting call failed if I am in house, we have 4 different model cell phones all with Cingular and they all get terrible reception and dropped calls

Must be on second story to get OK reception, which means an occasional 2 or 3 bars (usually 1)

2-3 bars in the house with antenna down. 3-4 bars with antenna up, both inside and out. Sprint coverage is much stronger in LA County, especially Long Beach. If you get Sprint, make sure you get a Sanyo phone. They have much better reception than a POS Samsung, and they're built better. Also Sanyo is what the Sprint employees use. If you like to travel to Europe, then don't even bother with Sprint, or Verizon. They both use CDMA and do not utilize SIM cards, so you can't change your Sprint phone with a SIM card because it's hard wired into the phone. Europe uses GSM, so your Sprint / Verizon phones will not be compatible...

Nextel has been great for me and connections are 5 stars. I travel all over my state and never have a problem connecting. Unless am in the dessert!

0 to 1 bar indoor reception and 1 to 2 bar reception outdoors.

There's an old AT&T tower on the NE corner of this intersecrion, now a Cingular tower. I can see this tower from my home and I get near perfect reception inside and outside the house. Overall I'm happy with Cingular in the Long Beach area, but I wish I had a different phone. All my problems can be attributed to the phone.

Great reception. So good I don't even have a landline anymore.

On average poor to below average. I say that reversed because most of the time I'm at poor. May have something to do with the airport being two blocks away.

I get no problems taking and making calls around the house.
