Compaired to T-Mobile and Verizon has much better reception. I can talk to people inside Wal-Mart Mililani, were T-Mobile would cut off 20 feet in the door, at my mom's at Waipio Gentry, Verizon works and T-Mobile dosen't. I have not found a dead spot yet. Never had a problem with T-Mobile in Waipahu though. And ATT should be perfect in were I'm at in Waipahu because there is a ATT tower no more than 200 yards from were I am.

I just switched over from T-Mobile a month ago. I have to say, excellent reception with no dropped calls from Nextel. I couldn't say the same when I had T-mobile. I now get pretty good reception "IN" my office where I work in Pearl Harbor. I couldn't even get any phone calls, messages, etc when I had T-Mobile inside my office. Nextel is a bit more expensive. But I'm a true believer when they say you get what you pay for.

We get GREAT coverage with Verizon on Oahu. My calls don't drop, voices don't cut in and out, and I get a signal inside most buildings. Inside some mega size retail stores the signal is weak. The only place I found the coverage to be sketchywas on vacation on the Big Island. It got no signal inside the Volcanos national park or along some of the more remote areas on the highway. I don't think there are any towers for any company inside the national park. In all the towns I had coverage.

I just bought my Motorola V600 about a month and a half ago. So far, the reception has been good and I don't get cut off while talking. However, friends and family who also have T-Mobile in Ewa Beach says that the reception there is kind of bad, especially around the area near Habush.

Pretty good reception around the house. My only gripe is when I use it at work when I'm in my office. Little to no service inside my buliding.

I've tried about every single carrier except AT&T. And as of right now I am with T-mobile. Verizon and Sprint wasn't working for me. T-Mobile by far I would say isn't GREAT but it's good. I have like 3 bars from home everyday. No dropped calls from my new blackberry curve... but with my sidekick 08' I could never keep a conversation going.

I have been putting up with poor reception and dropped calls in my home for 2 years now. I have stuck with T-Mobile this long since reception on the mainland (I travel a lot) has been excellent. I keep waiting for T-Mobile to upgrade their system here, but I am getting tired of the dropped calls in my home, and will be changing carriers soon.

You have to hate your-self to get T-Mobile. Reception always sucks and get worse when you enter a building. In Kunia, I get poor reception and if its cloudy, it as if the signal drops. T-Mobile was good several years ago when AT&T was in a partnership. The number of T-Mobile towers are far less when compared with AT&T and Verizon. At UH Manoa, AT&T and Verizon have a tower on campus which is a real plus. Sadly, T-Mobile is the less expensive out of the 4 major cell phone service providers. Warning: On Kauai there is no T-mobile. You will roam on AT&T network for free but you can not use your unlimited data for more than 5 e-mails.

Cannot get good reception in home. If used on second floor receotion improves but is still spotty. Must go out of development to get good coverage.

This area is in a low area such that the signal goes over the houses. No reception / weak reception on ground floor, reception is slightly better on 2nd floor.
