If I stand on one foot in front of the home we are rebuilding and moving to, I *may* get reception. Otherwise, forget it: unintelligible, dropped calls or missed calls. Verizon customer service does their 'sensitive' schtick until they tell you there is nothing they will do for the NEXT YEAR at least. They can't handle a customer who has reason to not be congenial. They will let me out of the contract with no penalty (gee, thanks- for nonperformance I should think so!) but the phones we just bought for our family, tough beans. Sadly enough, reception is lousy near the Verizon store at Santa Fe and Mineral for pities sake. Stay away from Verizon in SW Metro, can you hear me NOW Verizon???

Have not had many dropped calls except inside my house. But family members in Castle Rock are always having trouble with dropped calls.

Wanted the Family Share plan for the mobil-to-mobil advantage but can't use it because cell calls are constantly dropping out. Performance at this location is horrible!

In the heart of Denver, I get little or no signal. What gives???

Reliable reception with no dropped calls or noise.

Extremely poor signal service throughout Littleton and Jefferson County, Colorado. Phone shows 2 bars, but dropped calls and unintelligible communications are the norm. Service is useless at home near Mineral and Santa Fe - worse than useless for communicating with clients and customers as it only frustrates them, too. I have to forward my cell phone to my home phone to get calls. All I get from tech support is that I should dial *228 "at least once a week" and keep the antenna up at all times (doesn't help). And the usual hype about having "the most extensive network...". I've been told coverage by Sprint and AT&T is just as bad, but Verizon's unconcerned customer service and technical support have me searching for another carrier.

Interestingly I read above the person on Shoshone St. / 42nd, Denver, CO 80211 saying Verizon told her this was a know dead zone. That is the same thing the regional manager for Verizon told me. I work all over the front range in the construction business, in my home I have zero bars and drop calls consistently. However I also drop calls all of the time in all parts of the city and suburbs, from Elizabeth and Parker to Boulder and all points in between. I had terrible service with AT&T and switched to Verizon and the service is worse. Both have TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, and both screw up my bill monthly creating time and aggravation to straighten it out. The bill for my family plan is supposed to be $165 per month and through 2010 it averaged $235 per month and there is no reasonable explanation. I have to fight with them constantly with no resolution and I am tied into a 2 year contract that will expire next month. I WILL BE CHANGING. But to what I don't know. I hate all of these companies. They are all rip offs who over charge and treat their customers like cattle. A client told me he had the exact same experience with AT&T and Verizon and that T-Mobile had the best customer service and Sprint had the best coverage. I guess I will try one or the other next time. I know from an inside source who is a tech at one of the large companies that they all tend to oversell their capacity prior to building out their networks, meaning they will add customers until their system is so overloaded that it can't handle it and when things get to the ultimate breaking point they add capacity to their system and start the cycle all over again, overloading their systems etc... I will tell you this. If you become a Verizon customer plan on waiting 30 minutes to an hour every time you want to go into the store and get service. They under-man their stores as part of their business model. *uck the customer! ALSO they DO NOT fix or service their phones! I both 2 LG Dares for my kids and they both had a problem that is a known problem for these phones, which can be fixed but all Verizon would say is that an update wasn't available and I would have to purchase new phones. This company is a SCAM from beginning to end. Unfortunately I believe it is an industry epidemic. I doubt any of them are any different. I lived overseas from 1998 through 2007 and I can say I never had the problems I have had here. I can definitely tell you stay away from AT&T AND VERIZON! The rest I will have to find out one at a time. I hope I can find someone who is customer oriented, has great service and a fair price that they stick to and don't screw with every month trying to double their take.

verizon does not like to work in this area, arpahoe to panama and university to broadway. I have to drive around just to get signal to make phone calls. WTF!? if I paid the bill id be even more pissed. I ahve talk to Verizon about this dead zone but they said probally nothing will be done.

ive lived her for 5 years and have never had good service here, and my friends with Verizon also do not get reception here.

Verizon is worthless on Orchard Rd.(called Long Rd.) between Colorado Blvd.and University and has no reception in the King Sooppers at Holly and Orchard. After numerous calls to Verizon, I finally switched to ATT / Cingular, which works well.

Lots of dropped calls. Generally 2 bars or less. Occasionally 4 bars for 10-15 seconds if in NE corner of house. Cricket had strong reception, but weak customer service when I tried to use their National Access plan in San Antonio. Can get 5 bars at Broadway and Mineral...

Poor reception in the area bounded by Arapahoe Rd on the south, Holly on the east and University on the west and Bellevue on the north.

Often drop calls or have zero to one bars in between Colorado Blvd. and Broadway on Arapahoe Rd.

Dead Spot that Cingular does nothing about

cingular has the worst reception i've ever experienced with any cell phone carrier... not only am I dealing with poor reception several of my clients say they receive a message that says my phone has been disconnected... with all the choices out there for cell service, Cingular is the worst along with poor customer service.

Only have one or two bars of reception. Many times, depending which way I am facing there is no reception. This is the very central part of the higher priced homes in Greenwood Village and Verizon is like having two tin cans on a string.

From University and Orchard to Orchard and Holly I get NO reception. Further, I received a voice mail again after deleting it a month and a half ago. The GSM for national service was a huge disappointment on a trip to the west including east of San Diego and in the newer area south of Phoenix area. Had to borrow a strangers Verizon phone in the new Phoenix area to make contact.

We live a few blocks from Southglenn mall and have had horrible reception with Verizon wireless. I recently visited the store @ Southglenn and asked about the service in that area. The female representative and I can not make this up, told me that if you call Verizon and tell them that you have poor coverage, "they will send someone out to your home to do a drive by confirming poor reception and make ever effort to fix the problem" Really! She actually said it with a straight face! I recently checked that coverage map and just like the commercials it shows all red indicating digital coverage. This does not differentiate the quality of coverage in any specific area like Sprint does, but I guess that would be too much work! I can't wait for my contract to expire.. This is clearly what happens when we let a company get too big... oh that sounds familiar, maybe Verizon should be included in the Occupy movement. Afterall, we don't want a communication company to get so big that the government could not let them fail despite whatever actions they may take to suck out every penny so the shareholders can profit..right!

Verizon has told me the same bull for 6 years,,,,, that they are going to build a tower! There is POOR reception west of Southglenn Mall. Do not get Verizon if you are in this area!

1 bar on none in this area. Called Verizon and was told I needed to buy a network extender for "only $250.00" I plan on switching.
