AT&T
Very poor reception with all major carriers except Verizon. Wondering how to lobby for a new tower to be put up, as there's no excuse for such poor service in this highly populated area.

Sprint has had the good coverage in Sacramento compared to other providers. I was with Cingular until early 2003, and tried AT&T GSM in early 2003 also. Neither had anywhere close to the reception coverage that Sprint had in 2003, with the coverage being comparable to Verizon in this market. With Cingular, I couldn't make or recieve a call in my apartment or at work (Stockton and Y Street), making the phone and service less than useful. I recommend Sprint to my friends in Sacramento and in San Francisco. Of note, the phone does make a significant difference in reception, please read the reviews before buying.

Typically receive 0-2 bars. I can usually make a call, but often I need to have the other end repeat what they are saying. It seems reception at commercial areas is fine, but where I live it's spotty at best.

Cingular and AT&T reception is horrible in this new development area.

poor reception in the antelope area. also some serious reception issues in the citrus heights area near oak. No coverage while getting something to eat at hometown buffet. Outside the sacramento area, my T-Mobile out-performed my friends Verizon wireless phone from reno, to carson city, to tahoe, all the ways back to sac

Excellent reception with no complaints. Not perfect, but close. Local or long distance, no problems since I started service 11 / 2004.

Roughly 75% of my calls are dropped. No reception in my house. Whenever on the freeway throughout the state incoming calls aways go to voicemail and never ring on the phone.

couldn't make a compleat call with the other person on the phone yelling at you what did you say again and again. PASS ON METRO PCS if you drive east of fair oaks area. throw metro PCS phone out the window past HWY 50 and folsom. I broke down and said to myself. "I'll calll a tow truck" pull new cell phone out and no freeking service at all. phone died looking for service. seems like VERISON is the only depedable Cell-Phone Co. For the eastern part of Sacramento county like: Fair Oaks,Folsom,O-Vale area's.

I have absolutely no coverage in my house, or at work. I have a somewhat older phone, I want to try a new Cingular phone before giving up on them.
