No reception in spite of many Cingular promises and a map that shows coverage. Finally a Cingular tech admitted my coverage was "weak". It is so weak that I can't use the phone in my house or on my block. Have to go at least 2 blocks to make a call.

just moved into a new office at S. Locust and Yale Ave and reception is terrible. my house is a block away and reception is terrible there also. Have used Verizon for years and found it best almost anyplace in country except my house and office.

We live in an apartment and have really poor reception on both our Verizon phones. Occasionally, I am able to tilt my head just the right way and my phone temporarily works okay, but moving 2 inches to the left and I lose the call or it breaks up. Sometimes I'm able to walk outside on our porch and reception is better, but around home and sporadically throughout downtown Denver, we have really bad luck with reception on our Verizon phones.

Used to be great, but now poor reception.

Most of the time it works around here and Denver but sometimes I just lose signal for a few seconds or get a dropped call. Alot of that (I think) comes with the phone you have, I had Nokia's before and didn't really have any problems, then I decided to try Motorola - I'm not saying Motorola is the problem, but the SLVR is for sure. Sometimes it will just turn off for no reason and this is my 2nd one within last 3 months.

I live right on the corner of 36th and Wolff. I can't use my cell phone in the house and can barely use if I go outside. Everyone who has Verizon that comes over has the same problem, so I'm pretty sure it's not my phone. I'm about to drop Verizon since my 2 year contract just finished and I plan to tell them that it's because they basically have no coverage where I live (seems odd to tell them that since they seem to generally have good coverage). I'm planning to switch to Cingular - several people with Cingular have used their phones in my house with no problem.

what phone works best around Naropa campus?

I get pretty good reception around town, but I get a lot of dropped calls inside my house, and no reception inside some office buildings.

Inside get 0-2 bars, dropped calls, only works in part of apartment. Outside 4-5 bars, no problems.

I have had problems at home since I switched to Verizon last year. Reception breaks up constantly - have to repeat myself and callers need to do same. Verizon had me reprogram phone several times but did not help. Now working out of home most of the time so this is a real problem. Verizon sucks in this entire neighorhood. Finally, after much work, Verison confirmed that this area has a known service and reception problem - why don't they tell you that up front! - and that they have a new tower scheduled to go in at 17th and Logan but said it could be 6 months to 2 years! NOTE: they have agreed to let me out of my contract because of this! FURTHER NOTE: With the new EV phones, the bars for reception are USELESS unless you have two sets of bars, one for voice and for EV. My understanding is only a few phones have the dual bars - since most of the SOBs just put one set on the phone you don't know what kind of reception you're getting for voice - the bars are useless.
