Very poor reception on campus, in or out of buildings. Verzion seens to work well, may have to switch.

Strong signal on Cingular in this area.

I've been having dropped call issues numerous times over the past week... wonder if the merge has made things worse?

I've had my cell service with Verizon since they were GTE and it has always been great. Before Gte I had Cellular One, later became ATT Wireless which is now Cingular. I was not happy because at the time they didn't offer a national plan where roaming calls were including. ATT Wireless didn't suit my needs, I finished my contract and switched phone companies. It's that simple! I think all cell phone companies are great because they meet individual needs but indeed not every company is the same. People have to have in mind that cell phones are not 100% reliable, regardless of the company, and that is just the bottom line. I love my Cell phone as well as Verizon, they have great customer service (very friendly). I take my phone everywhere I go including when I go on vacation!

I get perfect reception but for some reason I get drop calls about 80% of times.

Occasionally there is one bar, just enough to ring an incoming call but cut off right after the phone is picked up.

no reception in my house or around my house. to use it we have to go about five blocks away from my house. good phone /no network.

Verizon has great reception for me around 1st and Julian area. I saw T Mobile's coverage map and it looks like service is spotty around parts of downtown. I don't know much about Cingular though. Verizon's price is higher than the rest, but, I can't afford to have no coverage (I have no wired line).

My AT&T didn't work on campus but not Verizon. I have no problem in almost all areas.

I used to have T-Mobile and it was great in my apartment. Now I have Verizon and it is so shady. Outside it is good, but in my bedroom it is horrible. I get 2 bars then one, then none, and I've never ever experienced dropped calls in my life. I'm glad that at th end of the semester, when I go home to New London, CT I have great service in my home area. Verizon is just not up to snuff in Campus Village Apartments.
