Just got the virbrant with T-Mobile and love it. I travel a lot and have never lost connection. I have noticed that cell reception can be based on your phone. The house next to me have Verizon and there always dropping calls. My friend has ATT and has spotty coverage. Sprint seems to work okay in this area too. But for the prices, you cant beat Tmobile.

Always have data connection. Now T-Mobile has HSPA+ network here. Its 2 times faster then 4G. T-Mobile just calls it there 4G. I am on EDGE most of the time due to what the houses here are made of. The EDGE service is fast too. If I switch my phone to only use 3G I still get service. I even get service in areas in eastlake people normally don't get. I switch from ATT to T-Mobile about 8 years ago and love it.

5 bars inside and out, sometimes have interference, believe it may be because of non T mobile tower close by.

I had Nextel, always had crappy signal. Then changed to Verizon and now I have no problems at all. They are very reliable. Strong signal in East Chula Vista, but might loose a few bars next to Otay Lake.

Nextel is Great in this area! Everyone has it, and the walkie talkie is awesome. I get great coverage, a few dropped calls, but that is expected with so many people in the area with Nextel. IF you don't have one, Go get one, because someone you know definitly has it. Don't be left behind with that old generic service you have now. GET A NEXTEL!

Reception here is almost always perfect. My phone only uses 0-4 bars for signal strength, I almost always get 4, so I'll put 5 here for perfect. ;)

At&t Wireless' UMTS or WCDMA will be here by next year, if anything, At&t is the place to be in San Diego.

Almost never have a problem with reception at home, though on occasion people say "What.." due to a temporary drop out. Infrequently loses connection. Verizon has a dead spot on I-805 south of I-8, loses connection most of the time. Very respective reception out in the deserts (Borrego Springs, etc). Have never needed to use roaming in 4+ years.

I get great coverage except in the deep East County area. I honestly haven't had many problems... yes a dropped call here and there but overall... its been good to me since 2004.

I have had Verizon for 4 years, I have done road trips to Chicago and thru the Rocky mountains. I have occasional dropped calls in Chula Vista like driving thru the canyon on Olympic Pkwy. going out to Southwestern College. I have had few problems and I now use a bluetooth and I love it. The worst is in Moab, Utah there is a stretch of I-70 that has no services for 100 miles including Cell phone service. They need that guy to take a walk there and say "can you hear me know."
