AT&T

I usually have no reception in my home. On occasion a call will come through and I can hear the caller but the caller can not hear me. If I stand near my kitchen window it helps sometimes and I'm able to hold a quick conversation. Some days I'm able to talk when I'm upstairs (surprisingly to me). The reception behaves as if it is blocked on most days but every now and then the airwaves are free. There have been few occasions when I sat at my computer and held full conversations with no reception problems. (I don't understand it either!)

I had Sprint and in did not work in my house on the West End. I moved here and it didn't work here either. I noticed the real estate agent talking on my phone. She told me Verizon is the only one that works well in Alameda. I am very pleased with it. The only place it hasn't worked is inside Pagano's Hardware store. It also works great in big box stores like Costco.

Since Cingular and AT&T merged my signal hardly works. If I call back 3 or 4 times I usually get a better signal. The company says its a connectivity problem probably caused buy an over loaded cell tower. They will work on it when they have time

Reception spotty. One never has to say "Goodbye". There is even a Sprint tower on a building nearby, but Verizon's latest PRL forces the phone to the NEXT tower, which is probably in Bangkok. The 710 works better that the V60 that I used to use.

Poor reception on Tilden Park side of Grizzly. Poor to none.

Calls frequently dropped. Reception bad. Coverage varies. Some days it can be good, but there are too few of those good days.

There are weak spots all around our neighborhood. Note: I am 1 / 2 mile from downtown Berkeley. My phone usually shows 2-3 bars, but the signal improves if I'm outside. I know the weak Cingular's signal is the problem, not the phone because I travel regularly to Pasadena where I get 5 bars from the second floor of a 5 story hotel. I wish Cingular or someone would put up a cell tower in the middle of Berkeley somewhere. I read the other reviews of T-Mobile and Verizon having better signals in Berkeley and want to switch.

Never really had any problems with Verizon. Always works fine wherever I go in the bay area.
