Although pricey, Verizon has given me much better reception than T-Mobile. At home I have anywhere from 1-4 bars but my calls are still always crystal clear. I sometimes have dropped calls but I'm more inclined to believe that they are caused by the AT&T customers on the other end of the line. At work (North scottsdale around 101 / raintree) I always have full signal strength even though I work in a large building with lots of walls. Overall I'm very impressed with Verizon's signal strength and call quality. I'm definitely not impressed with their prices but perhaps the lack of frustration is worth the extra money..

Reception is consistant and never drops below 3 bars. EVDO Broadband Wireless usually works well too.

I get maybe two bars at home. Whenever my treo connects for data service (checking e-mail once an hour for example), I completely lose the call I'm on and my phone locks up for 30-40 seconds until the signal comes back.

Can not use phone people around the corner cut out.or drop off.

From here to Apache Junction and in between, most calls are dropped, or I have to redial up to 6 times to get the call to go thru, and sometimes I have to try later. All conversations are full of cutting out, and I have to repeat myself. So far no satisfaction from T-Mobile. I want out!

I do like my phone andreception was the only thing that I was looking for when I selected a phone

In summer of 06 Verizon recetion went up and is satisfactory. All others in my area have problems if they have other than Verizon.

I can be sitting in the very same spot and have the signal go to nothing. Lots of dropped calls in my house and more out of my house lately.

I switched to Verizon a couple of years ago and have never regretted it. When I first moved near Guadalupe / Dobson (Mesa), I had Sprint. Sprint was decent at my previous location (Dobson / Southern) but was horrible my new location... so many dropped calls it wasn't funny. I then tried AT&T (before then changed to Cingular who now are changing back to AT&T... can't believe it's so hard to decide on a name). AT&T was slightly better than Sprint, but only barely. Since switching to Verizon, I may have only experienced 10 dropped calls in 2 years. Love it, love it, love it! My contract is up for renewable and, although I love my Verizon service, I'm looking at other carriers. A little apprehensive about changing carriers since my service with Verizon is wonderful. (Only considering changing due to phone selection.)

sometimes I have called my wife but get her voicemail account. She never gets the message or a notification that she even HAS voicemail.
