I had AT&T and switched over to T-Mobile. T-Mobile has the absolute worst reception in this area. The V300 phone is great as far as clarity and features but useless with a poor provider. I went with some cheap Verizon Nokias and have full bars-consistently. Phone features and sound isnt the greatest with Verizon however the reception has been flawless.
For the most part, reception is average. I generally only have reception problems indoors where it will fluctuate between 2 and 4 bars while in the same spot. Outside, reception is not a problem.
I just moved into this apartment complex and I have no reception whatsoever. Sometimes, I would get a "no service" response. It is time to change carriers.
If you are inside a building such as the Student Union on campus, chances of any reception are very slim. You need to be out in the open away from structures and not in between buildings either to get some reception. At peak times (around noon and 5pm), the network is busy even though you get reception. Either you would need to get away from campus or just wait till the peak time is over.
