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

I cannot phone out. I will receive but cannot answer. Relatively no reception strength.

No relationship between numbers of bars that phone shows and the ability to make a call or complete a call. Voicemail alerts show up hours later. I have to leave my phone plugged into the recharger when I'm home otherwise it will be "Searching" all the time and my battery will drain within two or three hours.

works great every place in santa cruz, except the fish hook my the peachwoods, comes right back full bars. ONLY place I found.

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

Signal drops away on clubhouse on either side of pinehurst, shadow extends past RDM elem school and fully engulfs condos on Dolphin. Verizon says call *228 option 2 to udate roaming and "teach the towers where the phone is" but this only works if you can call *228, which you can't, because there is no signal. I call it 'Catch-228' So far, no neighbors have claimed to get any better coverage from any other company, so we are all suspecting it's either the shadow of Cow Hill or part of a large conspiracy.

"Call cannot be completed" is frequent problem, other times calls will lose every other word then drop. Verizon service quality in this year has gotten worse each year since 1988. If I am on the street near Alta Dr.I can get make a call, then if I walk towards Santa Marguarita Dr.the call will switch from analog to digital and I will actually hear conversations from other calls in-between my call just before I lose service. My phone will sometimes (optimistically) show 1 bar but callers will automatically switch to voice mail - my phone never rings, and the voice mail alert *might* come on in one or two hours.

Almost all calls switch to analog. Phone will display [D] digital then switch to analog. I have to power cycle phone to regain digital signal. Frequent problems with dropped calls. Sometimes my analog call conversations get mixed with different calls. Receiption near Rio Del Mar Blvd is dood.

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.
