I get full bars, but people I talk to say they can't hear me very well. They say I sound like I'm in a wind tunnel. I can hear them just fine though. There is a dead spot on the 101 at the top of the grade going southbound.

I had AT&T in 1998-99 and it was the best available at the time (Verizon did not exist). When I was working for GTE when Bell Atlantic purchased them and Verizon was created out of the merger. As a result, I instantly became a user of Verizon Wireless services once they started purchasing wireless carriers. I get very good reception most places I go (I'm in sales and travel throughout the L.A. basin, even when I travel through e hills and along the coast. Of course no carrier covers everywhere and all are far from perfect, but Verison is pretty solid. If Verizon had the iPhone I would be ecstatic, but until then I'm sticking with solid cell coverage and an adequate phone. BTW, some phones get better reception than others, it's not all the carrier.

I normally get excellent reception. My wife also with ATT / Cingular gets good reception but a lot of dropped calls. She has a Sanyo Sync. On a recent trip to Vegas, I had good reception in all strip hotels and her phone continuously showed no bars or out of service. Not sure how much has to do with the phones. The rest of my ATT toting family gets good reception around Newbury Park

Reception not great in the house but good on balcony. Best carrier for Newbury Park and surrounds I've found in general. Service is expensive however and phones are outrageous compared to other carriers.

Reception cuts out on the Lynn hill between Kelley and Wendy, but works at the Newbury Park Albertsons and at my house. It also spits a little on Borchard between Wendy and Reino. For comparison, Sprint is fine by the 101 freeway, but below average at my house.

I get zero reception at the Albertsons / Longs Drugs shopping center, zero reception inside B.J.'s Restaurant in Thousand Oaks, but have few problems elsewhere.

My reception at home has always been bad - first with Sprint (static on line) and now with Verizon (drops calls). Some rooms in the house don't work. Outside is better. Verizon is better than Sprint here. For both carriers, there's a spot on Lawrence just before Ventu Park Rd that it drops calls every time.

First of all, I'm not sure of the model number. It may be the 3560. It's the only color TDMA. Reception is spotty in our house, and OK down the street (Via Patricia). We fully live in the Dos Vientos Valley. All along Borchard (from top of the hill to the FWY) it's fine. At Newbury HS, it drops out. I was told TDMA is the ONLY way you can get reception in Dos Vientos. It's not great, but it does have places that work. I often hike over the hill to Epic Lake. I get full reception the whole way.

Service is very spotty, one minute you have signal and next minute at same location you don't have any bar. Very frustrating. I had ATT Blackberry I think 8230; it worked all the time at my home without any problem

Loses signal entirely coming up Borchard into Dos Vientos
