3-4 bars. The only time a call gets dropped is if I am in the basement.

I consider my cell useless in my house, we're lucky if we get 1 bar. If a call happens to go through it gets dropped in a few seconds. Texts take a long time and sometimes just don't go through at all. I have Verizon, it's useless here, as is every carrier except for AT&T, which only sorta works. The area I'm in on the North Shore is notorious for this though.

0-2 bars at most. I have T-mobile and DH has AT&T. We just live in this dead zone. So annoying! The second someone calls my cell I always have them call the house phone!

I don't think I've ever had a reception problem w/ Cingular/AT&T.

Been w/ them for at least 7 yrs or so and during that time I've lived in 4 places.

I did have a problem w/ Sprint about 7 yrs ago where I'd have great reception in a house I rented except in my bedroom.



Come to my house..... I've asked people with every single carrier how the reception is on their phone in my house, and the most anyone ever gets, with any carrier, is 2 bars, but it's never a solid or steady 2 bars even.

I bought a cell phone signal booster, and it's working pretty good. I can get 3-4 bars in my attic (but it's a bit awkward making calls up there... Chat Icon ), so the signal booster takes the good signal from the attic, and brings it downstairs, so I get pretty good reception in the living room at least. Not enough to drop the landline, but enough to receive calls if someone calls my cell while I'm at home.

Terrible. 1, maybe 2 bars by the front door and some windows, none in the rest of the house. DH has AT&T and I have Verizon and the service is the same for both of us.

Re: How is the cell phone reception in your house?

my landline is perfect.
My cell gets about 2 bars. It;s better in the breezeway - that is the only place I can send picture messages.
