Excellent Reception. I had Verizon and switched Jan. or 2006 and Verizon barely came in here. So I'm pretty happy.

I get excellent reception generally 5 bars, 4, rarely 3, in my house. Outside along soquel (walking to safeway for instance) I have a steady 4. I have excellent reception pretty much everywhere I go, although around encinal (industrial corner of SC) I have so so to poor reception (but not on the trails of Harvy West Park). In the suburbs up hill off of Soquel about 1.5 miles west of Cabrillo I have poor reception indoors at a coworkers (cant recall street.), but solid outside.

Good reception at and around Cabrillo College, average to below average outside. Poor if you're anywhere near the tall trees, which is pretty much all of Aptos.

Not bad reception inside of house. Sister has an iPhone (AT&T) and consistantly states "you get no service up here". Must be OK on Verizon

Average to Perfect connection. Att / Cingular has put a repeater in at Sescape Village. (Seascape and Sumner) Since then... My father has perfect reception (ATT / Cingular) I have NONE! (Verizon) If you have an all digital Verizon phone, you cannot access the Analog tower in La Selva Beach

Reception is hit or miss depending upon what side of the road one is on, part of the house and the cellphone. Cingular doesn't work at all. Best bet is to get a good phone and a cell phone repeater for the house that costs about $250. I get 1 to 3 bars out of 5 depending upon where I'm at. Plus get dropped calls at least 3 times a week. Verizon works in most of Santa Cruz county. Cingular works well at UCSC and Cabrillo. Verizon at Cabrillo College, hit or miss at UCSC.

drops calls all the time, get two bars at best outdoors in driveway, but fluctuates between 2 bars and no service from minutes to minute..

Get okay reception if I stand on the edge of the back porch... unless I move my head (or blink). I finally bought a Land Line just so that I could receive calls at home. I'm leaning toward T-Mobile when my ATT contract expires in January.

Poor to none on coverage even though the coverage map shows acceptable coverage in this area. I have to go a half mile to Vista Del Mar to get reliable service. Once on the road away from Aptos the system seems to work fine.

I'm with ATT, and it seems as though everyone is on a call but me. I think a part of it may be the quality of my phone. I'm going to Verizon for a 30 day trial, I'll also be getting the new LG Voyager when its released on Nov 21. I'll post again. Also I live off Seacliff and I get okay quality, as soon as get into the house - ZERO reception, however I can usually text.
