In the past 2.5 years, my reception has gone from bad to worse. Today, I have zero bars, "No Reception" or "Searching... " in the upper left corner of my iPhone 3GS. I rebooted it once just to make sure that it wasn't the phone itself. I love my iPhone but absolutely hate AT&T's coverage in this area. In contrast, my friend visits with his Sprint phone and has 3-4 bars and good reception. I'm in a condo building less than 500 feet from AT&T Park - yes their namesake. Wouldn't you think that they would make sure that they had great coverage around a major baseball park in their name?! Steve Jobs, please ink a deal with Verizon soon.

3G claims 5 bars. GSM claims 5 as well. But that itself doesn't match reality. inside building (about 30 ft from windows) incoming calls last for about 10 seconds until they terminate. same with outgoing. no data service.

Generally I have to go out in back yard to try to keep a call, frequent dropped calls, so happy the 2 yr contract is over although right at this moment it is 3 bars so in the past month something might have changed.

Here at Haas I have always gotten just awful reception - never 3G services. Never, ever. Oftentimes 1 bar. Today I have full 5 bars and 3G all day. Did they open a new tower or something? Totally great to have coverage here finally!

I've had AT&T for about 9 years and the service has become very, very poor. I have trouble getting reception in my home, and static or dropped calls are the norm. I'm almost ready to move to Verizon because AT&T is not in the service business, they are in the sales business. "What can we sell you and how much can we charge." At their store in El Cerrito plaza they will sell you a phone, or let you pay a bill but can not help with service problems. AT&T doesn't run customer service centers just sales outlets. It's common in the industry to spend more money on marketing than maintaining service standards. You will note there are no commitments to providing quality service. Zip.

We love Verizon: Great customer service (alway jobs in the USA, no off-shore customer service!), great reliability, mostly great reception--As a visiting nurse, I drive 6 counties and I really need reliable good service at night. But for the longest time, we couldn't get calls on our mobile phones in our own house! Verizon was embarrassed but couldn't fix it on their end. So they suggested we buy a booster. Now our reception is perfect EVERYWHERE. I really lust after an iPhone, but after reading all the bad reviews of AT&T from people right here in my zip code I'm going to stay with Verizon.

Just moved 2 months ago from an area within the same zip code where I had consistent 5 bars to this area with TERRIBLE reception. Zero to 1 bar when propped next to a window inside my home, 2-3 bars when outside on the sidewalk. I put in a service ticket and was told T-Mobile has no plans in sight to put more towers in the area. The only option they give me is to get a wi-fi enabled phone, and then I have to add the $10 / month service to use that feature! 4 years as an excellent and loyal customer and now this? I'm shopping for a new service provider.

Alcatraz and Shattuck,
Oakland, CA 94609 |
My reception was below average- two bars or less- until about a month ago, when it suddenly became far worse- frequent total losses of service, cycling through loss and regain until I just turn the phone off. I've called Verizon's tech support three times, and they say there's been transmitter work in the area and it'll get better, but after a month I've come to understand they're just shining me on. My phone gets a great signal, just a mile away in any direction, but North Oakland has been, evidently, left for dead. I'm looking at Sprint, through Credo. It couldn't be worse.

Usually I get full bars of UMTS / HSDPA 3G in my area. Otherwise, when I am at home, my connection drops in half to 2 bars out of four (windows mobile phones show four bars instead of the 5-7 bars other phones show). Inside my home, I get EDGE, never any 3G. T-Mobile is pretty good in my area, I can't complain. I just wished it worked inside the 12th st and 19st BART stations.

Delaware | McGee,
Berkeley, CA 94703 |
Fed up - thats what I am. It's useless as a phone unless I park it outside my house pointing southwest and hope I hear it ring. People get frustrated, my kids can't reach me, the unreliability is pushing me to dump my Iphone next week. Is it Berkeley zoning battles that are limiting cell tower installation? What exactly is the problem with AT&T transmissions around here?
