Who has the best cell phone coverage on the Coastside?

On the other side of the hill, you can pretty much get whatever cell phone service offers you the best deal or the coolest phone. Here in paradise, it’s little more complicated. Cell phone coverage is really bad in unpredictable ways. 

Please share your experiences with cell phone service on the coast and make your recommendations. Tell us where you can and can’t get reception. Be sure to tell us not only who your carrier is, but what phone you’re using.
