T-Mobile
I have T-Mobile, originally from Wal-Mart. Bought an"older" model Samsung outright for $299. Works fine. Never had trouble with service. Originally paid $30 per month with limited voice. Upgraded to $40 for more voice. One of the cheaper carriers. Never had problems. Pretty happy with what I've got-- but I'm not a heavy user.

I used to have the old Cricket cell service which was good on Naval Base San Diego (NBSD), but was forced to upgrade to 4G service after AT&T bought out Cricket. Ever since then, service is extremely poor. 1-2 or NO bars while at Budwiser Brew House (Rec Center) in front of pier 2. Even with wifi, service is terrible. Every call gets dropped. Or never connects. I have a LG phone, which works excellent anywhere else in San Diego and Los Angeles Area. I used to get service while in Tijuana, 2-3 miles across the border, including La Playas (beach area) and Otay Tijuana side... but since switching to cricket 4G, I lost all mexico service, which I used to use my cell while inside mexico with no additional charge. Now, I have to go to a café in mexico everytime I want to make a call using LINE or WHATSAPP, but no longer can make normal calls using my cell connection.. I have to use WIFI. But biggest complaint is not having service while on 32nd St. Naval Base. while playing pool, eating, or using the computers at the Base REC Center...

Base of Cowles mountain. I can find only one antenna serving my neighborhood, from 1 to 3 bars as the wind blows it seems. I've complained for years, and its never gotten any better. friends with AT&T get even worse reception.

I have AT&T for two years now and I have never had a problem with them as far as reciption goes. I had an iPhone 5s and now a iPhone 6 Plus and the coverage is excellent on both devices. The download and uploads speeds are extermely fast. I always have LTE coverage at home with 4-5 bars at all times. I use to have Verizon and when I did in this area. My calls would drop and sometimes my text messages would fail and not send. Some of the time in this area when I had Verizon my text messages would come in delayed because of the recpition. Switching to AT&T was honestly the best choice and I strongly recomend it if you live in the clairemont mesa / balboa avenue area just because it is reliable and you would have the best service 24 / 7.

I have had Verizon for 10 years, three phones in a row I have had poor reception, and have had little to nonluck sending txt with pictures attatched (called and spoke with tech service more than once) I got a new Samsung S5 out of the box and am now unable to send any pictures. Tech support suggested that I use Facebook or Email for sending pictures instead.Why do I have unlimited data for txt and a smart phone if you are telling me to use a Nikon and a laptop? Am now actively seeking a new carrier very disapointed with the degraded service the NSA... err I meant Verizon is supplying me.

I switched from Verizon to AT&T about a year ago, and couldn't be happier. No more dropped calls at my house! No problems anywhere else either!

In outside sales. Use Verizon. Never had a dropped call or spotty reception. Always reliable in San diego. Believe me, I use 13gb of data oer month and make hundreds of phone call. It's always done me good. work will no longer pay cell bill so I need to put in my name. Considering options and I think I will stick with verizon.

Just got Verizon for the first time a few months ago and have had problems ever since. Repeated dropped calls, so bad that I knew it was going to drop the first try at calling my wife. The second try was a hit or miss and then when it finally went through we always had to keep our conversations quick knowing it would drop at anytime.

Verizon use to be great but right now I have my cell phone in the window and still only have 1 / 2 a bar. All the neighbors are complaining about Failed text messages. In the last 15 years I have never had a failed text but over the past few months I get at least three a night. About ready to switch here real soon. Thank goodness I still have a land line.
