I have never had a problem with my cell phone anywhere in DE, with the exception of through the valley around Montchannin Rd and Thompson Bridge Rd., even in Newark I get good reception. I have one of the least expensive phones and plans - LG VX 5200. The voice quality on this particular model is another story - just is not clear. My old model phone with the same carrier and plan was great... .but the phone bit the dust.

Little to no signal inside or outside homes along Polly Drummond Hill Road. I see a new tower pole was added at Polly Drummond Hill Shopping Center at Linden Hill Road, but there's no equipment installed on the tower pole.

Northwest of Newark, still in Delaware but almost Maryland. Poor signal strength most places but I have never actually lost a call.

There are no cell towers in Newark! I was told this by Nextel and Verizon, and Verizon said they were working on the problem. That was 11 months ago and nothing has changed! Once you get into Newark, it's like you've gone into a radio-free tunnel -- no cell, no push-to-talk, nothing. If one of the cellular providers came to Newark and put up a tower and advertised it, they would be flooded with nearly every person in newark who owns a cell phone. I wouldn't mind paying to break my contract if this happened because right now I can only use my phone if I am NOT in Newark!

Pretty terrible reception and dropped calls around Newark. Lots of the problems are my phone, as my roomate has a kyrocera and it works much better. I had sprint and it wasn't much better but it was better.

Verizon is the worst at UD. Terrible. The network is clogged with too many users. The closest tower is about 2 miles away on Cleveland Avenue near Bennigans. I cannot wait to switch. Cingular, ATT, T-Mobile, and Sprint are all pretty good here though. Avoid Verizon in Newark!
