I live in a "flatter" area of SF and my reception has been consistently good with both Cingular and the former AT&T Wireless GSM.

The reception here is very limited and at times, not at all. Poor customer service, as well sales people who attempted to overcharge me for a new phone. Not impressed!

I haven't yet found an area in San Francisco where my Spring mobile phone doesn't work.

5 Out of 5 (5 stars) | Ralston | Alameda, Belmont, CA 94002 |

People tend to report the places where they can't get reception. This may be useful, but if you are looking for a system that does work the information is not complete. There are antennas not listed on the map near the intersection of Ralston and Alameda for Cingular, Sprint and T-Mobile. I have Cingular and am close to the antennas. Surprise! Reception is great. Metro PCS has one just a couple of blocks West on Ralston; can't speak for service from it, but considering Metro PCS's reputation I suspect that reception is unusually good here! Verizon might (untested) be a bit worse here; no local antenna located in this area. Cingular generally works pretty well in the area after the acqusition of ATT; former ATT GSM phones work better, too.

Lose signal completely from Crestview to just before Alameda. Need to wrap up call and wait for 2 bars - 1 bar means nothing to Cingular

1 Out of 5 (1 star) | Old Quad -- Serra Mall, Stanford, CA 94305 |

Verizon's reception on campus has always been iffy, but up until about six months ago, you could make and receive calls with much higher probability. I often got a signal that indicated "extended network" which means they had an agreement with other carriers. They must have dropped those agreements, since I now have zero reception in Building 120 (McClatchy Hall). When I inquire about this, however, no one at Verizon will admit anything.

4 Out of 5 (4 stars) | Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 |

Get good reception (3-5 bars) everywhere except for the basement of Gates and, mysteriously, the dining hall in FloMo. Have had ~1 call drop in 1.5 years. Reception seemed better before merger of AT&T with Cingular (I originally signed up with AT&T), but it's still pretty good.
