First of all, lets not let this become a DROID v. iPhone thread; im asking about cell phone CARRIER signal and reception around the dome.

i have att, and after 4:00, i lost 3g and E faded in and out. I didnt get a signal until after the game when I was a good distance from the dome. There was NO SERVICE in the dome.

Anyone with other carriers besides ATT have been feedback around the dome, or even TS?

I had 4 to 5 bars with AT&T all day yesterday but was unable to receive calls or call out. Texting was impossible inside the Dome eventhough I had 5 bars with 3g.

the Towers get locked up bad when that many people in one area are trying to comminicate.

I have Sprint and it works great. I can even text inside the dome.

That's becase nobody is on Sprint, so the towers are always open

Sprint worked in dome. It was 1xRTT and not EVDO, but I was able to text and get data connections (checked this board a couple times).

If you have an iPhone just go to your settings and turn off your wifi and disable the 3G and run it on edge. That's what I did yesterday and never had a problem

I have AT&T and I can send texts but not usually receive them right away when someone sends then to me. I found out of you send yourself a text you usually get all the texts ppl sent you but you didn't receive for whatever reason
