AT&T reception at UCSB and IV?

Colleges & Universities University of California - Santa Barbara

<p>I just got an iPhone a few weeks ago, and I literally have absolutely zero reception where I live. Not even one or two bars - nada. I can’t even make calls (or receive calls). Is reception better at UCSB/IV? The odd thing is I don’t even live in some small secluded village; I live in Orange County. :x</p>

<p>Anyways, is an iPhone at UCSB/IV a good combo?</p>

<p>^ Hm, the reviews are giving mixed signals. Some say it’s great; some say it’s awful.</p>

<p>Is there no one else on CC who attends UCSB and has an iPhone? >_<</p>

<p>I know this isn’t going to help much, but I’ve always found cell phone reception to be pretty hit or miss. People have told me a carrier’s reception sucked when it’s worked fine and vice versa. Guess you’ll just find out when you get there :stuck_out_tongue: It can’t possibly be worse than what you have right now (unless the reception itself isn’t the issue, but rather the phone or something)</p>

<p>I had AT&T when I attended UCSB from 2005-2008. It was horrible in Manzanita when I lived there but perfect pretty much everywhere else on campus.</p>

<p>Oh great rc251, I need my phone at Manzanita! :(</p>

<p>Hm, I’m currently deciding between working at Carillo and Ortega. Considering Carillo is near (or in?) Manzanita, maybe I should work at Ortega. o.O</p>
