Terrible at my work location. Generally ok elsewhere

Intersection of Central and Fremont gets horrible reception. Typically, Poor to No Reception. Driving down Fremont into the neighborhood between 7th Ave and Central, signal jumps between No Reception and Below Average (most times you can see 1 or 2 bars, however outbound calls fail and text messages can't be set and "No Service" appears during the call / SMS attempt ). Typically the "Below Adverage" rating is only while the phone is idle, so it is possible to receive SMS or calls, however answering the call or keeping the call established is nearly impossible.

About 2-4 blocks south of the tower location (towards Baseline) the signal goes from Perfect to Below Average. By the time you hit Fremont (Poncho's Mexican Restaurant is at that corner) signal falls to Poor, if you're lucky.

The reception in my apt is nt very good. I have to move the phone around to get an evdo signal. However my wifes phone (Chocolate 8550) works great in here. Maybe its the phone but still should work.

Usually have 4 or 5 bars in this area but also get a fair amount of dropped calls.

Plenty of dropped calls. Doesnt work well inside the apt.

I rarely have less than 4 bars in my home, at work, or anywhere around Phoenix. Dropped calls happen, but happen rarely. Verizon's customer service is helpful. If you go over your monthly minutes, and dropped calls are a problem, they will issue credit once they review your call log.

Someone in this area has a jammer that is jamming AT&T signals. AT&T won't do anything about it.

Great reception. No dropped calls and crystal clear conversations. In comparison, my Verizon phone and service that is provided by my job is horrible. I miss work calls all the time and have to go outside to take a call.

a lot better than Verizon. I had Verizon and dropped 50% of my calls from home. They admitted that there is a problem which they would correct by adjusting the direction of the cell tower signals. But they couldn't give me a date when it would be completed. I live in the Desert Ridge area. There is no way around it - you must try different carriers until you find one that gives the best reception.
