I've been with Verizon for about 5 years now, and despite my disappointment with their slowness to adopt newer, cutting edge phones, their reception is outstanding all around town. I seldom have problems placing a call, and calls almost never drop. I've enjoyed a similar experience in nearly every U.S. city to which I've travelled. I've had T-mobile, AT&T(just when they switched to GSM), and Sprint here in Tucson, and they were all poor in comparison. My friends who currently have AT&T (for their i-Phones) and Sprint frequently complain about poor service. I've really wanted to get an i-Phone, but just can't bear to leave Verizon's service. The i-Phone technology is so cool, but is pretty worthless in the end if you can't make a call or connect to the Net.

So far, I haven't had any real problems with AT&T, despite all the negative remarks I've read about their service. I don't know if I'm just using my phone in the 'wrong' (or right) places, but so far I get at least 4 bars, even in the car. I switched from Sprint, and the experience is night and day. I seldom had over 1 bar with that phone and service, often my calls would drop.

My phone works great with cricket I've been a customer for 2years now and have never had any problems. My calls hardly ever drop. I use my phone mostly for long distance calls. I recommend for anyone to try cricket with they're low cost plans you can't beat the price for the great service.

I hate Verizon for the lack of cell phone choices and cost of plans, but the coverage is excellent. Verizon has reception in places other carriers don't. I'm always in 5 bar territory no matter where I am in Tucson.

T-Mobile service is excellent. I usually have 5 bars but ocassionaly drop down to 2 bars.

I've been a customer for 15 years now (back when it was Airtouch Cellular and Verizon bought them out). My job requires me to travel around Tucson and Green Valley (and occasionally up to Phoenix). I'm literally on my phone all day long and have only dropped a call a handful of times. In conversations with all of our clients, they have patchy coverage with just about every other provider with many dropped calls. I'm very happy with Verizon's coverage!

Awesome reception around campus, along Speedway, Broadway, Campbell, Swan, etc... I get 2 or more bars everywhere I go, including my home (south of Grant at Campbell), which is a dead spot for just about every carrier. My parents live in Oro Valley (La Canada and Naranja) and my reception is perfect there as well. WAY TO GO, VERIZON!

I can't complain about Alltel's reception in this area. I know people with other carriers, and they complain that they drop calls but it never happens to me. My only complaint about Alltel is the outdated phones and the RIDICULOUSLY expensive data / voice plans. They start at $89.99 / mo

Ever since I have got T-Mobile I have been so happy with it! The guys at the store on oracle were great and really helped me out! I will be with T-Mobile for a long time!

I don't even remember the last time I had a dropped call or no service. I even get reception in Walmart now.
