I have no reception at all inside Sheraton while my friends who use AT&T have 4 or 5 bars. I often miss call around Honolulu. I only get a miss call message after the call has been missed. It sucks. Unfortunately, I just committed to a 2-year agreement because I wanted a new phone. If there is no serious improvement in the next 2 years, I am switching to AT&T.
Coverage is pretty good but there are some spots where you will have drop calls in the following areas: Pali Hwy. - near reservior, just outside the tunnels town side, near the hairpin turn and near HPU; Likelike Hwy. just outside the tunnel town side and near overpass before Kalihi Valley.
My calls often go to voicemail instead of RINGING the phone. I get a missed call message on the phone. This occurs often when I am buildings and sometimes when I'm driving in Downtown.
Reception is spotty on Prospect travelling all around Punchbowl Crater. It is especially bad when travelling along Prospect from Ward down to Piikoi calls get dropped about 50% of the time. Reception is poor from my home in the 200 block of Prospect, where I have to walk around the house in order to find a place to stand where people can hear me.
Start conversations in Makiki going on Awaiolimu to Lusitania and into Booth - the phone service is sketchy. then goes dead. Sometimes you think you're carrying on then echo-o-o-oh...
I have had Verizon Wireless for 5 years. They are FANTASTIC. Great, customer service, and GREAT coverage too. I take that back. Not just GREAT coverage but AWESOME coverage. No exaggeration... I am able to get coverage in various parking garages around downtown Honolulu - Melim Tower, Harbor Court - in their elevators too! - and I even get coverage in their fire exits too. Overall, I've been very happy with Verizon (equpiment, coverage, etc.) for the entire 5 years I've been with them.
