Have had Verizon here all year, works great all over the city of Athens with no dropped cars, 3G speed is excellent, even inside UGA's large buildings. Would highly recommend Verizon here.

fine reception at home, but on baldwin street near blind pig tavern signal goes to nothing - probably my phone

I have to go outside and out of my yard to get service. I had a Motorola v180 with same problem. However, my wife has a v180 that works well 90% of the time inside the houise. She previously had a v180 that worked (poorly) like mine. Apparently there is significant variability even within the same same phone model on the same service plan.

service was good until July 2011.Forward to now almost every call drops at sometime during conversation you can't make a 1 min call with o dropping

Over the past 6 years Verizon has had TERRIBLE coverage in this area of town (Homewood Hills Shopping Center down to Jefferson River, etc.). Had them in 2005, called to complain about the terrible coverage (every call is dropped. literally.) they do their thing, send a guy out, the conclusion: there are towers nearby but something about the geography of the area prevents us from getting reception. They can't do anything to fix it, so they'll let us out of our contact penalty-free. So we do. Go with AT&T. It works just fine. Then, mid-2010 we decide we want Incredibles, so we go back to Verizon, thinking SURELY they've fixed the reception problem by now. NOPE! Same deal, and they will let us out of our contract at any time for free if we want, but it's just frustrating.

Horrible reception. Wife's Palm Pixi, and my LG Optimus S both drop calls inside house all the time. Have to sit on front porch to get 2 sometimes 3 bars.

Reception has deteriorated to poor or no reception. Often as not, no reception. Absolutely disgusted with AT&T. I pay premium $$$ for terrible service.

Terrible reception, but I switched from Cingular several years ago because it was even worse (often no signal)! How can the smallest county in the state of Georgia and one of the most densely populated have such poor reception? Why should companies upgrade service when we buy their stuff regardless!

Talk ok outside with for about 5 mins, then wait 20 secs and then talk for another 5 mins. and so on... ..

Inside = 1 bar, at most. Often I must go outside to get reception.
