I've had Verizon for many years and never really had a problem with distorted or dropped calls until March 2010. I've done the Customer Service and Technical Support thing numerous times. I was told that a tower in Riverside was affecting service from Anaheim to Lancaster; I know that there are many towers out there, but this is what I was told. The technician wrote up a trouble ticket and Verizon sent a team to work on the problem. I have been told now that my ticket has been closed and it is what it is, service-wise. Prior to March, we had no problems using Verizon anywhere in the Inland Empire, even in our house. Today, if I try to use it in my house, I average about 6 dropped calls per conversation. If I am lucky enough to not get dropped, the reception is so poor that I live their commerical, constantly saying, "Can you hear me now?" Needless to say, I will be changing service as soon as I can decide which one will replace Verizon.

The reception in all these neighborhoods by riverside and locust is really bad. Sometimes people tell us that they called and their is no missed call.

There is a new antenna near the Toys R Us building. It must be Cingular, because I've gone from 2 bars in the area to 5.

Weak signal until I get closer to Interstate 15

I've had T-Mobile for 2 years now, no problems, no complaints. I've had AT&T's TDMA and GSM Services and I don't know what happened to them, they fell off drasticatly so thats why I cancled it. I love my T-Mobile phone and service, and when they truly say GET MORE, the customers do get more... for less money I might add. They take care of their customers. I would highly recomend T-Mobile to anyone that's looking for execellent phones and great service.
