I get very erratic reception all over Colorado Springs. Very strange. It's almost as if there are other signals of varying strength interfering with my phone's signal strength. I've traveled all over the country and Verizon has always had the best reception, but not in colorado springs. I see on the tower locator that there appear to be very few Verizon towers in the area. This could be the explanation. Seems like there are more Cingular towers-- maybe I'll give them a try.

My wife and I have the same phones and cannot get cell service at our home in Village Seven off of S. Carefree and Murray. My business depends on receiving calls as I am a mobile technician and I have to leave the area to get messages sometimes or have the customer call me on my landline. Very frustrating.

service is sporadic at best in my house. sometimes won't receive voicemail messages for days when phone has been operational.

I'm north of Hodgen on Herring Rd and 2 miles line-of-sight to the Verizon Tower. I started service July 30th 2005 with a V265; 1-2 bars max... Verizon stated I should purchase a V710 and the signal will improve. !WRONG! I went thru Tier-1 troubleshooting and then one of their technicians came onsite and validated poor signal east of tower (tower is 1 mile east of 83). Tech spoke of upgrade in plan, but no date can / will be specified... .Cust Svc states it's due to it being propietary info (I'd say it's due to competition!). NOTE: Once poor signal conditions are confirmed by a technician being onsite, Verizon allows you to terminate the contract - at any time - (while at the same address) without early termination fees. Conclusion (in my opinion): Nextel works in this area: Poor plans and Cust Svc Sprint works in this area: Bizarre billing and Cust Svc Verizon: Good Plans, Poor Signal, Exemplary Customer Service!

The bottom floor apartments at Summerset Dr. have no service, but the 3rd floor apartment gets partial service. Sprint PCS service sucks!

I get no service inside the Walmart on N. Academy with my Sprint PCS phone

I get poor to no service any time I am in the area of Rangewood and Vickers. From Union all the way to Rangewood on Vickers... Sprint service is horrible.

Poor to no reception... always dropped calls at the intersection of Hwy. 94 and Space Village

Verizion has a hole between Dublin and Austin Bluffs on Rangewood, and west on Vickers almost to Flintridge. My Motorola E815 holds the control channel up, but voice does not get through (i.e. call isn't dropped, but neither party can hear the other talking) as I drive through the area. Thus far, my experience has been that the E815 has a very robust radio in it, your experience in this area may vary.

Very poor transmission / reception. Most of the time I have to call people back on my landline because they can't hear me and I can't hear them. Other Cingular users who live in my area have the same problems. However, Sprint users in my area have much better transmission / reception and I plan to switch soon.
