I pretty much get reception everywhere in the Mission with the exception of this one stretch on Valencia, between 23rd and 21st.

When I originally got my phone, I traveled internationally and wanted my phone to be able to go with me. I haven't needed that access in the past few years but haven't been inspired / driven to change.<br>
<br>I used to experience a couple of dead zones in the Mission, but either the network improved or I got a better phone, as I haven't had problems.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 10:33 PM, Greg Zhovreboff <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:greg@urbanesque.org" target="_blank">greg@urbanesque.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Now I've a question about service! I think someone may have already mentioned this but what has folks' experience with T-Mobile been in the mission. I absolutely love my friend's Android and am starting to totally lose it with AT&T and my crackberry.<br>

Plus with the iPhone you have to deal with this sort of nonsense:<br>

I had Nextel/Sprint and the coverage was poor in the East Bay, including my<br>
house. I couldn't make/take a call reliably at home. Also trouble spots on<br>
580 near the Grand Lake Theater and at Park & MacArthur. And as far as out<br>
in the world goes, when I was at Lake Mead a few years ago my husband's<br>
Verizon phone had great reception, and I had zip. I now have Verizon too and<br>
am much happier. No idea on what smartphone uses their network, tho. I'll be<br>
sticking with a 'regular' phone for a while.<br>
<br>
I briefly tried an iPhone last year and didn't dig the audio quality when<br>
using it as a phone (which is the point, isn't it?). Some apps were very<br>
useful. But also had very poor coverage in my house--couldn't get onto my<br>
wireless network and 3G was spotty. Maybe they are better now.<br>

Sprint sucked in our mission apartment. Haven't entirely seen if at&t<br>
is any better yet<br>
