AT&T
I live in the Rosehill neighborhood of Kirkland and reception at my house is very poor. A friend has AT&T and it is no better; another friend has T-Mobile, and it works well, so will most likely swithch when current contract is up.

Both at my home and at my office, in Montlake, reception is exceptionally poor. I am unable to use my phone at my home; at my office on 24th Ave. E. calls often are dropped.

I go inside and the phone dies, outside it works sometimes. I have had so many calls drop in this area it makes me crazy. Even with the walkie talkie feature, it fails. I have been searching for a new phone and new carrier if necessary just to know my phone will work in this area. But I am not at all confident in any of them after reading reviews here. I have two colleagues whose phones both seem to work fine in this area (same spots where mine goes out): T-mobile and AT&T, so I am looking at making the switch to one of those.

I've not had any reception in this area, with any carrier, for years now.

I have been with Sprint forever and love there service. However, I have noticed in the past year or so reception has completely dropped. Even with the new phones it will say you have 4 bars of signal but as soon as you receive a call or place a call it goes down to one bar, this never used to be that way. I don't think Sprint has upgraded their system to accomodate the thousands of new customers they have added over the years makes me angry.

No reception at all. Seems kind of ridiculous living in the center of Seattle. Cingular gets reception here and I am switching to that network. No reception on T-Mobile here either.

There is no reception for T-Mobile on the island. Well maybe a enough to frustrate you when your phone rings.

2-3 bars in second story apartment in the Capitol Hill near Mercer and Malden. Some call dropping. This is a tough area due to hills and lots of apartment buildings.

Usually get one or 2 bars on Queen Anne. Sometimes phones fails to ring and I just get messages later. 70% of calls are clear 10% almost impossible to hear, and the rest in between. Happy with Verizon service and service is stronger in many parts of Seattle.

Indoor in my apartment I can eek out one bar. Any call will usually drop. Outdoors is pretty reliable but I would like to use just my mobile as my main phone.
