My reception was never very good at my apartment since I got my new phone in April. But this last week it's gotten considerably worse. I even had a dropped called while I was sitting in my car on the street! I can't keep a phone conversation going for longer than a few minutes now. I will have to get a land line if it doesn't get better. I have Verizon and unfortunately just renewed my contract. I'm going to test other's carrier's reception where I live in preparation for a switch.

for 5 years no problems with Verizon for whole family. A few dropped calls while on blue line. Love the customer service, go to store on 2nd street. Pains me to think of possibly moving over to AT&T for iphone, which is why I checked out this site.

I can't use my cell phone at home. If I do get one bar and dial a call it drops. I'm stuck with a landline until Verizon gets us some tower coverage. All my guests complain about not having service regardless of their make or model phone or provider. When will we get thee service we pay for?

0 bars inside the house and intermittent 1 bar can be found while I roam around outside of the house. I dont know what everyone raves about verizon, everywhere I lived coverage has sucked. 92129, 92126, and now in 90803.

Can never get more than 1, maybe 2 bars. Dropped calls, etc. Will never be able to give up a land line. Very disappointing.

he coverage is fantastic, but their customer service is horrible! I was lied to multiple times by different employees and even their supervisor was rude. I am cancelling my contract early.

only two bars but no droped calls, still get good reception.

verizon always has great reception in my area, and surrounding areas... pretty much everywhere i've taken it... both coasts, north and south. its awesome, even in hawaii. i just hate the company so much it makes my blood boil. they lock ever feature and give you a crappy one they've designed to make them money instead. their phones are terrible, but the coverage and reception is unparalleled.

I had T-Mobile and their bars would always be full but I would be in the middle of a call and all of a sudden it got dropped. Happened with several different phones so it is the T-Mobile network. I switched to Verzion Wireless and have not have a dropped call yet (over a month now). Reception is great and sound is really good. I may pay $15 more a month but at least I get reliable service. I travel through the east side of Long Beach, Signal Hill, and on the freeway to Manhattan Beach and always have good reception. I am very pleased with my switch to Verizon.

I have a business phone Cingular Treo which I only get about one bar and only can make calls sometime in the upstairs bedroom, My Verizon Razor have 5 bars and I can make calls from the basement. I have used all the cell phone carriers in the LA area and travel the highways daily. I can clearly state the Verizon has the best service of any cellular company in Los Angeles. Sprint has good coverage as well since Sprint and Verizon are on the same network and share cell site. The only thing with Sprint is their customer service is not very good and forget about getting them to do something as simple as change rate plans without mayor issues. Verizon voice, data and customer service is the best.

Receprion at home is terrible. Have to go to the back of the house to get signal. Dropped Sprint to get Verizon and neither one is any good. Guess I'll have to stick with the land line!

Maybe it is the model of phone but some times I have no bars.

I live at the intersection of Willow and Studebaker in Long Beach which is a fringe area next to the Eldorado Park that many neighbors have labeled cellular hell. After month long frustrations with my own T-Mobile, which will not work in or around the house, I tried my sons' AT&T and Sprint which while functional displayed sub-average reception and clarity. The Motorola E815 with Verizon service was acquired today and functions flawlessly with excellent send and receive capabilities. The phone itsel has far too many features but fortunately they do not intrude too much in the process of placing and receiving calls.

Switched to Verizon from AT&T 2 years ago. AT&T had no reception at my house. Verizon is great, at my house and throughout this part of Long Beach.

In our apartment we have to be by a window to get reception, or else we lose the signal. Otherwise reception in LB is pretty good, except for a little area on Livingston just before it hits 2nd where the signal is weak.

Always great service with Verizon... Fair amount of dropped calls, but that is with any provider. Previously had Sprint and was okay with their service (excluding customer service), but it was almost shocking when I switched to Verizon... There are very few places that I no reception at.

Always have outstanding reception with Verizon at home and most places in LA. I almost never experience dropped calls or other reception or connectivity issues. This is also the case in the other Metro-areas I frequent (NY, SF, Detroit)

When driving over Signal Hill, the Verizon signal drops about 75% I the time going soutbound on Cherry. Once you get to the bottom of Signal Hill the reception is fantastic due to a Tower being right there in the abandoned LBUSD Campus before you get to PCH.
