Within the community of 1000 homes or so reception is available in 50% of the homes. But, where it works it works well, it's an all or nothing thing. The community is not flat at all and line of site to the tower is most likely the deciding factor.

Outside of house the reception is good. Inside the reception varies considerably as the phone is moved but completely usable.

New tower in area provides decent coverage for AT&T NextGen in Altamar complex. Cingular users also seize these towers; phone will say "Cingular Extend."

Main St. | 6th,
Montara, CA 94037 |
Data service unusable here. Cannot send pictures or text messages. Phone indicates "1x" network (this is verizon's CDMA 2000 service which has been declared "3G" but is more like 2.5G) active, typically showing 0 or 1 bars of signal strength. Yet, voice calls go through even at 0 bars. Signal fades entirely from time to time, dropping the phone into "power saving" mode wherein no incoming calls are received and no messages are received! Marginally better than Sprint, which is almost entirely useless around here.

Swallowtail Court | Mission Blue,
Brisbane, CA 94005 |
Sprint PCS and Nextel are the only two services I'm aware of that work on this side of the community. Reception is very good from the softball field all the way west on Mission Blue.

El Capitan Dr. | Clearfield,
Millbrae, CA 94030 |
Terrible reception, must stand out in the front driveway to make a call. Only time I get reception inside the house is on a clear sunny day, and at most just 1 bar. Phone to phone SMS is bad up here as well and email to SMS is completely unreliable and useless. Metro phones up here will discharge their battery supply in under 1 hour due to constantly searching for the local digital cell site.

Dartmouth | San Carlos Ave.,
San Carlos, CA 94070 |
This phone worked fine in my house more than a year) until last week. I guess AT&T converted the TDMA tower to GSM to keep me happy - NOT!

Reina del Mar | Hiawatha Ave.,
Pacifica, CA 94044 |
No reception at all (both GSM and TDMA) with AT&T wireless up here in the Valle Mar area. It comes in as you get closer to the intersection of Reina del Mar and Hwy 1.
