I know someone who lives in that new development east of 395 and his T-Mobile phone works pretty good. I think they need to erect a much taller tower. That makes sense to me!

AT&T has room to move up and shound have done so initially. T-Mobile is on the top of this pole. Sprint is in the second position. Then Cricket. Then Clearwire. Last is AT&T.

I thought AT&T recently added a site on the existing pole (along with Sprint, Cricket and T-Mobile) behind the Wal-Mart? With a 850Mhz signal, I would think the signal would travel well east of Double R Blvd! AT&T should fix this problem!

I'm having the biggest frustrations at Damonte Ranch though. I'm located just off of Veteran's Pkwy close to Curti Ranch. It's a real pain since my phone is my primary contact than my house phone. AT&T needs to step up with coverage. There shouldn't be a reason why the "number one phone carrier" should have mediocre service in terms of cell phone coverage.

T-Mobile has the top position on both of the South Meadows towers, by the Damonte Wal-Mart and the one by Trademark and Wilbur May. T-Mobile has worked much better for me in South Meadows.

MASSIVE dropped calls infuriating. I see on the map Sprint, T-Mobile and Cricket have a cell tower out here and AT&T does not. Ready to change carrier.

I need to change" Almost three months ago I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile. I had been with AT&T for 4.5 years. I live in Double Diamond and have found T-Mobile to provide much better coverage in this area, as well as providing excellent coverage around the rest of Reno/Sparks as well. AT&T is also good around most of Reno/Sparks, just not south Reno or Spanish Springs in my opinion. T-Mobile has the top position on both of the towers at the Damonte Ranch Wal-Mart and at Trademark/Wilbur May. After my experience with T-Mobile, I would highly recommend them to anyone having trouble with AT&T's coverage in the Double Diamond/Damonte Ranch area. RE:

Also, in the South Meadows residential area service is STILL bad, even after the addition of the new site by the Damonte Wal-Mart.
