Very reliable at 4-5 bars at all times except when at work (VA hospital get 1-2 bars in the atrium, 0-1 in the building.) Overall, very satisfied, just wish they'd run better special incentives for renewing customers.

I get great reception when I'm out of the house and driving around, but when I'm in the house, I only get 1 or 2 bars, and I lose calls.

Just moved from Bullard / Marks area (5 bars all the time) to Shaw / West and my reception is awful. Inside or outside never more than 2 bars

Never more than 1 bar in the area. Moving toward tower full bars. Simply not covered well.

This is not a good area. The signal is very bad and there are lots of dropped calls in the area.

Verizon SUCKS! For anyone who does not know, they spend all their money on idiotic TV ads (featuring an idiot), virtually NOTHING on their pitiful network. And they hire the most insolent morons to answer your calls. If you are considering any other provider, go with them. Oh, and the reception inside my house is nonexistent, so if you see me outside at 3 AM in my 'jammies complain to Verizon!

Good reception, has gotten better over past year, since 2006. Better coverage indoors. I work in Firebaugh and the reception is quite good there as well considering that it is a rural area.

Good signal in the area and generally overall central valley (some places theres no reception)..AT&T has more coverage overall in central valley based on my experience using both... At&t worked at several places where T Mobile didnt... However, call quality with T Mobile appeared to be better.

I have been a tolerant T-Mobile customer for 2.1 / 2 years. I have a great plan, but only get 1 / 2 my calls, and have to keep accessing my voice mail because of it. I get 2 bars reception at Home (Shaw and Maroa 93704) and almost NO reception at work (Willow and North 93725) I see about a 20% drop call rate at Home and about 80% at Work, and I have seen no improvement in 2.1 / 2 yrs. BTW this has really kept my minutes down. lol. Other than that it seems to work good around town (Fresno). I am looking to switch to a more reliable carrier (probably Verizon). Probably a bit more expensive, but if it means I get to use my phone as a phone again (instead of a pager with voice mail) it will be worth it.

We have had Verizon for almost 10 years. Service, billing, online, etc. have all been exceptional. Always have service. Phone calls dropped only in remote areas in the mountains. Just got back from Belize, worked great. They are always great at helping solve any problems and crediting calls that are questionable. They have even credited charges on our bill because we were not aware we were being charged for some services.
