AT&T Wireless (GSM)
Although a weak signal can be received while standing motionless outdoors, there is absolutely no signal from inside a building.

Sprint has the worst coverage up the hill at Sierra College Blvd and from Rocklin to Auburn - expect many dropped calls and high prices for phone service that is substandard. On a positive note, I have heard from Sprint that the newer Samsung phones have a better signal. However, there seems to be little technical data to support this claim.

I had a dual band phone that could switch between TDMA and GSM for two years. At first I used the TDMA almost as often as GSM, but as of late my GSM has been providing excellent service everywhere, even out of town (Auburn, Tahoe). Last month I went with the Siemens sl56 GSM phone. I like all the extra features gsm offers, and I haven't had any issues with bad coverage. ATT GSM coverage is great, almost as good as TDMA. The only difference I notices is that TDMA penetrates buildings better.

Reception on Baseline Rd. is sketchy. Drops from just west of Watt to Fiddyment Rd. Also drops just west of Baseline & Plesant Grove near Sutter County / Placer County line.

I tried mine in the house and the reception was terrible. I went ahead and cancelled and when I did, then they told me that they knew the reception is not good in my area.

I am very displeased with T-Mobile. Their service is rotten & their billing is worse.

I tried almost every company and none of them work in West El Dorado County until I got Nextel. AT&T is the worst with no service but I got stuck with my contract.

This is a replacement phone - replacing another piece of junk... or is it the carrier. Have had worse reception and increased dropped calls and dead zone since the Cingular buyout. Customer service is a joke. I have had AT&T service for 16 years! I am stuck with the remainder of a two year contract and a crappy phone. Warning - stay away! They would not even consider shortening the contract date with all of the problem / issues I've had with them.

I get no reception in any building and unreliable reception with roaming via Cingular. I've tried a T720 and a Nokia 6800 with AT&T and I have been very disappointed with the quality and consistancy of AT&T. I do not recommend AT&T unless you only use your service next to one of their stores since that is the only place you will be guarenteed of getting good reception.

GSM will not work when you need it, like supermarkets, Home Depot, Lowe's, Mervyn's, Target, Walmart etc. But you see Sprint and Verizon working at these locations. C/Service has no answer as to way. Well AT&T was not putting capital into there system. GSM system is total CRAP!
