"Looking for Service" is the usual. Finding random areas for reception, can pick up incoming calls only infrequently, losing them often when flipping open the phone. When connection made, break-ups in communication is the rule. Service provided by Sprint PCS. They need a repeater to enhance signal in this area. Plan to switch carriers when contract is up,

Cingular service is generally good within one block of Hwy. 1 through Moss Beach and Montara, but rapidly drops off and is lost entirely just east of Etheldore in Moss Beach or Farallone in Montara. This means, for example, that there is no service at the Farallone View Elementary School or Seton Medical Center Coastside. Calls always drop between Montara and Pacifica while crossing the Devil's Slide area.

Very poor reception in apartment. Signal goes in and out on a regular basis. When I do get a signal, rarely have more than one bar.

Neighbors have to walk up to street to get reception. No reception in back yards or inside or on front porches. Need cell site at local school or park (Aragon HS, Borel MS, College of San Mateo, or city park next to Borel MS)

No reception indoors. Spotty, with 0 - 3 bars outdoors. Some areas it can get up to 5, but it's still really spotty. Once I get out to the 101 corridor, it's fine though...

Very unreliable and poor quality reception throughout my townhouse. I must stand near the window of my kitchen or upstairs bedroom to get somewhat reliable reception and even there the calls often become disconnected. I called Cingular and the representitrive said that my residence is "between stations". He could not say if the situation would ever be improved. I am looking for a provider with a better quality product.

Once off the beaten path in Belmont hills, zero to no reception. Must be the phone because I had at least been able to get messages and 2 bars using my Samsung. Hwy. 92 / Hillsdale. Same as post above, calls 100% drop if in use when passing this zone.

New T mobile service. Got home and had zero bars. Drove around trying to find reception. The dead spot on the bay side of FC is as follows. Starting at Beach Park and Gull 1 bar. Beach Park at Bowditch no signal. Beach Park / FC BLVD no signal. Beach Park and Shell 1 bar. Turning right on shell to Shell and Cataraman 4 bars. A block later no signal. No basically there is no signal or 1 bar at all until the intersection of Shell / Cataraman then a block later nothing. Very disapointed
