No reception at all within most of this building for Verizon. Can't get or place calls. Text msgs. or any 3G service impossible. Co-worker sitting 6 feet behind me has AT&T, and has full service.

Zero reception for the last 5 days. Noticed that reception starting decreasing a week or two before, spotty, with bars fluctuating from 1-3, then 0 bars. Have discussed with AT&T customer service (using my land line!) and have been to an AT&T store twice. Each time they re-set the phone, I have service in the store and by the time I drive home my phone loses all reception. Phones have been checked out by AT&T, sim cards changed twice, powered off and on several times. My husband has the identical problem with his phone. No signal in Trolley Square, no signal in Maryland. Once our bars go down to zero we can't seem to get service back without going to an AT&T store for a temporary fix. We never had a problem when we were with Cingular. Since AT&T has taken over our service has declined. And worse, no one at AT&T can solve the problem or give us a reason for continued poor and / or totally missing service.

Reception is sometimes spotty in my house, while it is generally OK as I get farther away. There are some pockets that don't seem to get the same quality of service as others, but nothing that stands out as being incredibly poor. Cingular's service, on the other hand, leaves much to be desired...

Travelling the back roads is always a craqp shoot, instead of building new homes all the time, maybe a cell phone tower should be built.

I get great reception. I am right out of Newport. I work in Downtown Wilmington and get at least two bars inside the building. Never had a dropped call. No complaints here, I love VZW.

The reception is terrible inside the house. I have to stand outside in order to have a conversationa and that doesn't always work. AT&T says there is a tower nearby and I should have great service, yea right!

the truth of the reception issues depends on the phone you use with ATT and Verizon really. I have ATT so does my room mate and I get service everywhere.. however she has the new Samsung and she could sit next to me and loose signal. same with verizon. my mother has an older razer and she looses service all the time. my sister has the envy and never looses signal. so phone scoop your phone before purches it will save you a world of trouble. all and all I have few problem with ATT. but I think that has a lot to do with my sony erricson phone, which is most of the reason why I am an AT&T costomer due to the fact that they carry that brand.

Always a good reception, few dropped calls on I95 on my way to philly and sometimes in new castle area. But other than that calls are crystal clear 90 percent of the time, customer service is okay if you don't mind calling back to see how many times you get the same answer(to make sure it is the right answer). Very good reception in the house and in hospitals and malls.

Whether inside or outside, the reception is very poor in this area (north and west of the Delaware Art Museum). Cingular doesn't seem to care about the problem, even after three reports of problems over the last two years. Does anyone know how to get Cingular's attention? Does anyone know of a carrier that provides better reception in sip code 19806? (We'd jump to it in a flash!)
