Sprint

My mobile / smart phone coverage is through Sprint (unlimited $98 @ month)... I have an AT&T Wi-Fi / TV at home because I live in a dead zone... ($48 @ month)... Berkeley, Ca... go figure... this coverage drops off when I'm in my back yard... a very small property... When I am out and about my phone drops off unless I am by a business that has free Wi-Fi. I keep trying to find cheaper service... all the sales people do is shrug their shoulders and say... I have a great deal...

On T-Mobile near my window with zero bars. If I wave my phone around this review might get thru. Seriously atrocious. Spent 30 mins (no exaggeration) logging into my utility site to check a bill.

My phone which works okay elsewhere in Oakland and East Bay has never worked in my ground floor apartment in Alameda since I moved in spring 2015. My tablet which is on the same plan works occassionally in the apartment.

Works great outside, but not in the building. Can't get to usual email / apps that I wanted to go, lags when I make a phone calls and hangs up sometimes. I get massive late texts when I go outside and when I text somebody, it's either they got it late and didn't go through. Why would I spend over $100 / month for this whack reception? I need to switch carrier.

Tmobile signal is poor in this part of the oakland hills. I must resort to WiFi calling at home, but then I cannot send or receive MMS messages (on Samsung Galaxy 5). I often have problems receiving multiple duplicates of SMS messages.

AT&T coverage in Kensington was bad a few years ago, improved, and dropped back to just about unacceptable a couple of months ago. This is ridiculous.

Have had TMo for about 2 years now. Always have good service - way better than the AT&T service I have for my work phone and iPad. Awesome customer service as well. I've recommended TMo to several friends / colleagues who have AT&T or Sprint and all have told me what an improvement TMo has been. Also, TMo works best on Bart underground.

AT&T consistently disappoints. Reception rarely goes above 3 bars no matter where I am in SF or Bay Area. It is frequently at one or two bars and web sites take forever to load. It is even worse when I leave California. Prices for service are high. International plans are a joke: they cost a fortune and work only about 60 - 70% of the time.
