Reception is great wherever I go. I've never dropped a call, and only very rarely will I notice any static or distortion. I want to stop paying for my landline I never use, but the wife won't let me.
Verizon is real spotty out in the Boulder Mountain area in NE Mesa,but so is everyone else except T-Mobile oddly enough. Just saw cell antennas being fitted on a flag pole about a mile away so hopefully service improves soon.
Dropped calls every few minutes. Sometimes cannot place calls. Also, missed calls can take hours to alert. Verizon confirmed in 2004 with an onsite test and cited the eastern hills as the source of the problem. They said no plans to improve for 2 years. I think that will not change until the loop 202 is finished in this area.
I get "no service" or "Emergency Only" all the time now. I loved ATT TDMA service... GSM SUCKS. I got dropped calls all the time around AZ Mills Mall, dropped calls on Southern and Mill. Reception in my house is 0. no service. I have to stand outside to get 1-2 bars... and even then it cuts in and out.
I understand what some of the other respondents have said in regards to cell service in east Mesa, recently T mobile and Sprint put up a cell tower at the South East corner of the above listed cross roads (looks like a great big palm tree), now I have no dropped calls, and the service is great. But before that, I would average about 25-55% dropped calls. I've noticed that T mobile has installed alot of new towers along McKellips too. Sprint is good about giving credits for dropped calls, but you need to call *2 then say dropped calls for the 50 cent per dropped call alowance (up to $10.00 per phone, per month)
Dropped calls, so many I can't count them, and forget trying to drive to work (through downtown Mesa) because there are so many dead spots. My advice-get a diffrent carrier
Just made the switch from CDMA (Verizon) to GSM (Cingular) Coverage at my house and at work (Ray and Rural in Chander) are as good or better with Cingular than it was with Verizon. Im very satisfied.
