AT&T

Terrible coverage. Making and receiving calls is always a struggle. AT&T told me new tower being added on 11 / 28 / 10. My friend thinks San Carlos being located in a valley contributes to bad reception.

No service inside ever. No Sprint service outside and on rare occasions the phone might be able to roam. My brother has Verizon and he has OK service inside and no problems outside.

Every call drops. This is becoming worse and worse. Only one bar

Considering I live on top of a hill with commanding views of the city, I am shocked by the poor reception on the VZW network. Oddly it's data that suffers the worst up here. It's not uncommon for me to have 4-5 bars, but only 1x and no 3G. What gives? What truly hurts is that I can see a Nextel site 500ft from my window.

I get perfect reception here, but when I go to Rockaway I get zero.

AT&T has greatly improved signal strength in Montara recently, now I get 4 / 5 bars in many places that I struggled with getting any kind of reception before :)

Even with full bars, always have dropped calls. Can have dropped calls 4 times within a 5 minute talk!

Cannot use my cell phone in my own home. On rare occasions (the middle of the night) you can receive a call. AT&T offered no help or solutions. Onward to Verizon!

Inside Hilldale mall reception is OK but go into most stores and there often is a complete loss of signal. Not good.

Generally usable for voice and data in the flat part of Montara, especially near Main St. Fades in the hills and once north of Montara on Hwy. 1.
