Left Cingular years ago because of bad reception in our area. AT&T swore it was all better now. I would say its worse now than it was then. The time of day also plays a part. Near commute time and some calls end up being 'fuzzy' or distorted. My iPhone drops calls and the voice quality is infuriating. We got Razrs for the family and they do the same thing. Outside or inside, the reception is poor. Back to Sprint! Crummy phones... but at least you can talk on them!

I've used all of the carriers throughout the Bay Area and traveled nationwide. Hands down VZW is by far the best. No service is perfect but VZW has done the best for me and my cell phone is all I have. I've been without a home phone for over 8 years. If I had to rank them, 1 VZW 2 Cing 3 Sprint but they're way down the list 4 Nextel but they're fading fast 5 T-Mobile, don't rely on it too much 6 Metro, great for kids who don't care Try them all out but for voice and highspeed data, there is no comparison to Verizon Wireless.

I live in 3-story building. There is no connection inside, unless I come to a window. Then I might get 1-2 bars.

Last summer received 2 to 3 bar reception at home office. Since Fall, reception poor with lots of dropped calls.

We get no reception in our house. We have to go into the backyard to talk and still only1 bar! The stretch on Walnut from Ignacio to Oak Grove varies from 1 -2 bars but drops calls. Northgate Rd.and Rancho Paraiso are dismal: dropped calls, no bars, very bad. Cingular told us to get the new phones and that would help. It did not! In addition, Cingular's very limited customer service hours require at least a 10 minute wait and then you get someone who asks scripted questions but really knows NOTHING. Very frustrating after the good customer service from AT&T and the GREAT service from Cellular One.

High density, retirement community. Hard to understand why service is so poor.

2 bars is the best I'll ever get. 50% of the time I get one, which is good enough if I don't walk around too much my house or away from my windows. I use an ear piece, find the best reception and leave the phone in place.
