AT&T Wireless (GSM)
Every single time I've been on the phone as I've crossed over Greenwood Ave on 65th Street headed into Ballard, I've lost reception completely. It seems to be a "dead zone" between Greenwood and 8th.

Poor reception is best-case. No reception is usual. Don't bother trying to use a cell phone on the east side of Cap Hill. Sometimes you can get reception on 15th. Huge honking microwave towers at 18th and Madison may be a cause.

I get between 1-3 bars, though I'm usually at 1 or 2. I can get calls to the point where I know who's calling and tell them to call me back on the land line. Other than that, I wouldn't want to have to rely on my cell phone to make or receive calls at home.

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.

We don't get reception in the house or in the yard. We are switching to another carrier next month.

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

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.
