AT&T Wireless (TDMA)
Usually 1 bar. Get about every other word when trying to use indoors (not good for my office-in-home). Some calls direct to VM. Must call forward all calls to my land line and pay extra for the privilege, not fair. Have newer phone on order, will see if it helps.

Usually get great reception at home. For some reason, it has started dropping calls upstairs in my office, where the computer is. I'm not sure if it's the service or my phone at this point... my phone is a year old now. I also get great reception at work, Hwy. 101 / Shoreline in Mtn. View.

Poor to no reception inside this 2nd floor apartment. The one or two spots in the apartment where I do get 1 bar are still not guaranteed spots, sometimes I won't get a bar even there... need to switch providers. I moved from Michigan where the T-Mobile reception was amazing... I guess things are different here.

The stretch from San Felipe to Silver Creek on Yerba Buena (somewhat hilly area), you are guaranteed to loose the call. No signal between silver creek and 101 (almost close to 101).

I used Sprint PCS and ATT TDMA in the past. Sprint almost always failed at my home. But at work and on the major highways, it worked decently. The quality of the call on the highways was pretty decent. With ATT TDMA, when I originally got it (over 2 years ago), was not that bad. At home, I was able to make and receive calls but calls get dropped quite often. I put up with it because of the contract. I got Verizon couple of months ago after seeing a friend of mine living in the same area be happy with it (except for the high price compare to the competition). In my case, I wasn't as lucky. I don't know if it is because of the phone model (Samsung a670) I am using, but the signal strength seem to fluctuate quite a bit. Sometimes, it I get 4 bars but in the same location a second later, I don't get any bars. This became a frustrating problem. I wish the guy in the Verizon ad check my neighborhood

Very poor reception - Verizon in the same area is very good.

AT&T / Cingular is great for me all over the bay area. I don't know why people don't get good reception in the bayarea. My advice: Get a good phone with both 850 and 1900 Mhz bands.

Great reception. Better indoors than SprintPCS in this area, where many times I could not get a signal. I recently switched from Sprint to a smartphone for SMS messaging, and haven't regretted it. SprintPCS is a great service, probably slightly better than AT&T in call quality and price, but their lack of international SMS and nice phone models was really the deciding factor for leaving. I was lured away by the Int. SMS and the Motorola Razr V3, but ended getting the SMT 5600 instead, and couldn't be happier. Neat freakin gadget.
