AT&T Mobile Phone Service in San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland

Pros: Good Plan, Great Phone, Good Reception
Cons: Poor Voice Transmit Quality, Undefined Roaming Area

I live in the San Francisco Bay area and I have two separate AT&T wireless accounts. The phones we use are two different Nokia models about 6 months old. AT&T and these phones get the best reception of any service in the mountains where I live. One...

Pros: GSM network, reception, prices, phones
Cons: unable to txt around the world, no mobile-2-mobile w/ $30 GSM plan or less

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS SERVICE?
I have been with Cingular for around 2 years. To be blunt, I had a horrible time with Cingular (check out my review on Cingular for more info). I chose AT&T because I knew several people who were with AT&T and they...

Pros: Good Reception, Complete Coverage on Domestic or even international, Relatively Cheap Plan Rate
Cons: Poor Customer Service, sometimes. Expensive over minutes

I have been using AT&T for over 4 years. Over all speaking, I am satisfied! They have good local coverage in Bay Area and if you travel like me on occasion, you will find AT&T pretty strong at national coverage and even international coverage. However,...

Pros: It's rare to find such good Customer Service anymore!
Cons: Plans are not always price-competitive with other providers.

I have had mobile service in the SF Bay Area for about 12 years now. My first plan was with Cellular One, who was consistently rated highest for service. They were bought by AT&T, which is my current service provider.

Although I was skeptical...

Pros: Better reception than Cingular in Marin
Cons: Worse reception than Verizon

My main reason to choose ATT was free phone offer, but I am regreting now... Reception is better than cingular but worse than verizon in CA94925...
Also, I have problem about security code...
I have tried to set up calling card option to Nokia...

Pros: None
Cons: Poor reception, poor equipment, excellent customer sadism

I have tried Cingular (GSM), Sprint (CDMA) and ATTWS (TDMA / GSM-GPRS). Sprint was my first provider back when there were no monthly contracts and free nationwide roaming and long distance at one flat price. I tried the other services and have gone...

Pros: Coverage, rates, customer service
Cons: none

First, I had Sprint and paid 200 dollars for a phone...after 6 mos. of EXTREMELY POOR COVERAGE...I switched to Cingular.

Cingular was decent, the plans and phones were cheap, I got a 30/month plan and a Nokia 8290 for 50 dollars. At first,...

Pros: Coverage, rates
Cons: 'Sound' quality

I've had sprint PCS service for ~ 4 years with interruptions and 3 months ago, they tried to force me out of my calling plan which got me upset, so I changed providers. My old sprint was month-to-month contract where you can cancel anytime and they even...

Pros: Coverage area
Cons: Signal strength, dead zones, Customer Service,

Update 112502 - AT&T service is getting worse. Large drop out areas in the Bay Area, on Hwy 80 to Tahoe, at my house. I have resorted to 4 cents a minute land line for long distance from home the cell is so bad. Other carriers are worse from what I...

Pros: Decent Price Great Reception
Cons: Terrible Customer Service Voicemail refuses to work Limited phone selection

After about 10 months out of my contract, I am dropping At&T and the associated billing and customer service nightmare that it has become.

But not all to this review is evil. First off, they have great reception everywhere, even in some truly...

Pros: Good coverage, excellent customer service. Good prices.
Cons: Cannot get the phone I want.

I have been with all the major carriers, and am shocked at the cons I read here at epinions regarding the poor customer service at ATT. I have been with ATT for over a year and have had several problems such as lost phone, phone in the pool, and a few...

Pros: Good coverage, the best "anytime" minute value, good phone prices
Cons: Really none

I've tried Sprint PCS (the worst), Verizon (pretty good, but coverage not as good as AT&T in some important areas for me), and AT&T. AT&T is by far the best. And, unlike a few months ago, their rate plans offer the most "anytime" minutes per dollar. I...

Pros: Nothing outstanding about AT&T Wireless.
Cons: Poor coverage and customer service.

I canceled my AT&T wireless service today after using it for a little over a year. I canceled because of what I perceive to be generally bad coverage. In particular, I had extremely bad reception in the areas where I use my phone the most. The phone...

Pros: Good coverage, competative plans
Cons: Signal can be weak in residental areals

After doing some research before getting my new/current cellular phone, I made some interesting discoveries. What I found was that MCI and AT&T cellular phone services are different entities. What happens is that MCI buys service from AT&T and sells it...

Pros: Coverage, earlier night rates, more services now included
Cons: Limited selection of phones, TDMA technology

I had been with CellularOne in the SF Bay Area for a number of years (first phone: Motorola 550 flip), and have been generally satisfied with the coverage and customer service. However, the service plans seemed to be somewhat pricey for what you got...
