My Mom, Dad, and I had AT&T, T-Mobile, and MetroPCS in the past, and while out of these AT&T offers good service, Verizon's overall package is better. Verizon doesn't drop any calls, has perfect 4G LTE coverage, and has the best customer service hands down. I know several people on Sprint that are eager to get on Verizon when their contract is up. Like I said, AT&T is good, but Verizon is better.

November 28, 2013
I went to a Science Center in Seattle, and I got a phone call from my Mom and the calls were outstanding and clear, no dropped calls, Unlike some other carrier (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, MetroPCS, and US Cellular). My Dad had Sprint til 2003, because he worked at Ford and they switched to Verizon. When he had Sprint, he gets excessive dropped calls, and more. My Mom and I have Verizon which is better and reliable, they have better calls and fewest or no dropped calls. My Mom's friend has T-Mobile and it sucks, US Cellular / MetroPCS suck and too cheap and scammy. Too Dangerous for US Cellular and MetroPCS. AT&T are too spotty.

Poor reception near Volunteer Park. To even send a text I have to stand on the front porch or there will be an error and I will need to push "Retry sending". Incoming texts are sometimes received up to 1 hour later than the time on the message. Voice calls dropped, poor voice quality.

T mobile service in Seattle really sucks. Lots of drop calls, and no service signal. If you're moving by bus in the city it gets even worse and forget about downloading data unless you're stationary. I've had AT&T in the past and it's much better. But T mobile can still be alot cheaper than AT&T.

Good service until about two months ago. Now with my iPhone in exactly the same spot on my desk, the signal varies from four bars to No Service and back every few minutes. Some phone calls don't get through, others get quickly dropped. In fact, I just took pictures of the screen. No Service at 5:32 pm and four bars at 5:36 pm. The phone hasn't move an inch. Definitely not acceptable service.

Calls drop in my apartment on average every 5-10 minutes. It's unbearable. Data constantly goes in and out all over Capitol Hill. I've been working with Verizon tech support for a year now, recording the times of my dropped calls and trying to get help for this terrible service. They are friendly but worthless. One of them told me, "Well, you're in Capitol Hill. That's why your reception is so bad. I hear many complaints about dropped calls in that area. We can't do anything about that.: I'll be switching to TMobile soon because I heard they are decent in Seattle.

Correction to former review - the primary location I am commenting on is South Lake Union: "This reception business baffles me. I have the cheapest pay as you go phone with AT&T and I have THE BEST reception in a building / area where folks have a terrible time with the other carriers. What gives? Is it perhaps my little Samsung "toy phone"? I even get good reception in the garage below. Too bad this is merely my back up phone. Land line at home"

Well, you can't believe those maps. Apparently I am in the "excellent" area for Sprint but I never get more than two bars at home. Since I moved from N. Sea to W. Sea, it started dropping about 30% of my calls. Its quite annoying when you're on a business call with a client and that happens. Now who do I switch too? I guess I'll try Verizon since there are so many complaints for the other carriers.

It's alright when you're outside, indoors is insufferable. Must keep the phone by the window, and even then it's a gamble to send / receive texts. Just one bar of 4G, step ten feet from the window and get nothing.

To whoever posted the info about Sprint on Oct 28, I'm having the same problem. Reception's been fine until a month or so ago and now I get nothing at home. We live in the same area it looks like. I've been on the phone with Sprint several times trying to figure this out. They're telling me that all the towers are working fine. It would be nice to know that others are having reception problems in this area. Please call them as well if you haven't already. Maybe if enough people call, they'll do something about it.

As of 10 / 21, my cell reception has disappeared while I am at home, and continued to deteriorate while away from home. From reading on the internet, it appears the 4G access by Samsung 4G Galaxy SII has been bad for many people. I wonder if I need to downgrade from 4G to 3G. I can make calls freely from Bellevue, with dead zones all over Seattle. I've also read that Sprint has oversold their 4G service, oversaturated? My contract is through CREDO, and I'm very disappointed overall, regret having anything to do with Sprint.

I live and work in the Denny Triangle / SLU area. I have horrendous service. Average bars is 1 - 2. When dialing out from home, it is common to have a call dropped 3 times before it will go through. The service was so bad at my office, that my company had to install its own boosters. My solution is to use Skype on my phone when I have access to WiFi. I get flawless service that way. I liked the suggestion of using the Edge network, but can't seem to access it from my phone. The only options they give me are 2G and 3G, and when I try 2G I get no service.

Bars register (sometimes as many as 4), but as of 7 / 23 / 2012, there is little or no connectivity despite how many bars are visible. Since there's only one tower serving the entire downtown area, my guess is that it's overloaded. Same experience at CenturyLink Field, which is nearby.
