all over Phoenix - excellent

Cingular is awful!!! ATT used to be so good. I will cx my service and I supposedly have a high grade phone. Do not sign up with Cingular!

This phone is a nightmare. Dead spots in my home, dropped calls, and wherever I am, It sounds like the other person is in a tunnel! Terrible!

I was an AT&T Wireless customer for over 5 years and was very happy with my service. Ever since Cingular merged with AT&T my service has declined greatly. I have virtually no service in the Central Phoenix area. Dropping calls is a way of life. If you are talking to another Cingular customer it is even worse! And every time I call the customer service reps give me a different answer. Everything from it's my phone (which I have had exchaged twice) to, it's because I am not a REAL Cingular Customer and still have an AT&T Phone (supposedly you have to transfer to Cingular Service to get better service) It doesn't appear anyone really knows. Myself along with my friends and family who have Cingular intend to switch to another carrier as soon as our contracks are up. So of the places I have experienced no service: along 7th ave between Osborn and Missouri / Central and Van Buren / I 10 at the Broadway Curve / I 10 and 40th St. / I10 and the 51 / 202 and 143

Sprint is a joke, I've had them for 3 years and I'm putting an end to it shortly. Customer service is a joke as well. I thought I would try their photo service; when you email a photo, you don't get the photo, you get an email telling you to go to these bastards website to view the photo, they can make even simple things complicated. I'm moving to Scottsdale so I drove out there to see if coverage was any better; it was worse; no coverage at all! I think I'll try Verizon or go back to AT&T.

No problems with Sprint PCS. Reception good and no dropped calls. Internet access is good. Satisfied with service.

Cingular SUCKS! Don't fall into the Raise the bar ad crap - no signal anywhere I hate this company.. as it shows.. RUN!

I live in an apt, so maybe that's the reason I always drop calls. Good reception outdoors, very bad indoors. However, my girlfriend has Cricket, when she uses her phone in my place she has no problems. I'm thinking of switching carriers.

Cingular sucks everywhere in Phoenix. I lose calls constantly, and their support is bad. Verizon gets 5 bars where I'm getting 1 in Cingular. Their support is annoying, but not as bad as ATT, however with a phone who the support reps have repeatedly said was terrible, they've refused to replace the bad phone. Screw them, I'm moving over to Verizon with the E815. A real speakerphone and a good phone. Good. To. Go.

Virgin uses the Sprint PCS network--which has spotty reception in Phoenix. Where it works, it works very well, but there are many gaps. Also, this phone has poor reception in marginal areas. I've read that later Audiovox phones are an improvement.
