Verizon is way too expensive! Never have service when in Riverside or parts of LA. I hate them but I'm on a contract.

I get very good reception with Verizon Wireless at my home in this area (basically, central Fontana). I have also found it to be very good all throughout the city in the north, south, east, and west in those places where I have taken notice of it. I don't experience any dropped calls. Of course, each area can be different so take good notice of all the locations given for reviews and, most importantly, ask friends and acquaintances about their own experiences before making a switch. Also make sure there is good coverage if one works in a different city (which is my problem as VZW's coverage where I work in San Dimas is pretty much non-existent).

I have pretty great reception from ATT here in the Inland Empire. I have had ATT now for about 5 years with only minor problems. I live in a brick and concrete house so reception drops about 2-3 bars. All of my dropped calls were from my house which I believe is mainly because reception just can't break through these walls. Anywhere else is fine. I made a couple trips to Fresno, San Francisco, San Diego, and Vegas with no problems in reception during the travels. I'm also driving to LA almost on a daily basis with no problems either. The only problems I face is when entering in concrete buildings, but it's not too much of a problem.

By the Everest college in ontrio, bad bad reception all the time. Texts take minutes to send. Can't browse online and phone calls take minutes to connect. This area is sh!t just like sprint, been with them for 6 years now you would think in those 6 years they would improve, what a waste, currently looking for a better carrier.

It must have a lot to do with the phone being used. My Black Berry gets excellent coverage in 90% of the areas I travel (btwn Torrance and Fontana)

Phone reception has never been an issue. I've been on Verizon for 5years, and don't have any problems. I use the EVDO coverage all the time. Works great in this area. Sprint does not have good EVDO coverage. The Sprint store next to Target off the 15 has no EVDO coverage. When I switched to the 6700, I thought about going with Sprint, but they couldn't even show me how to connect to EVDO because they didn't have coverage at their store.

Have had Nextel for 3 yrs. at first reception was good everywhere. Reception has steadily gone down hill to no service most of the time. Have to drive almost 1-2 miles to get any reception. Definitally not reliable.

I cannot believe how aweful the service is. Garbles conversations and VM messages that take 2 / 3 hours to get to me. No reception in my kitchen and 1 bar in my living room. Work pays for the phone, but I am too frustrated to go on!

Cingular and T-Mobile use the same tower in that area. Inside my house, there is bad reception (1 bar) or drop call in downstair area. But reception gets better on the second floor. Reception is OK when you are outside. I also have Verizon Wireless phone and reception is excellent. There are 3 to 4 bars downstair and full bar on the second floor when I use Motorola V710.

I have had Verizon in Fontana now for 2 years. Great signal at Baseline and Beech in Fontana and almost no dropped calls anywhere. I don't know about anyone else but Sprint, AT&T, and Cingular all were very poor at best in my area. I will stick with Verizon.

Dead zones all over the Inland Empire -- useless service! Switching providers as soon as I decide which is better than the 25% service I have now.

Iam sorry but Nextel sucks. No recepetion around my house. When I do get recpetion my phone drops calls like a bad habbit. Nextel is surely losing its creditbility. I hear Verizon knocking on my door soon!

Calls inside my home always dropped, low signal. Even if I set the phone down and not move it, I an see the signal level go from bad to zero most of the time. Have to go out into the street in order to get enough signal to make a call. Been with Sprint for 5 yrs, used in other cities w/o problem, but at my new home there's just not enough coverage, or I'm in a black hole area. Called and disconnected service tonight, no sense in keeping it if I can't make calls from my home, where I use it most of the time.
