AT&T does not get coverage well enough in this neighborhood to use as a dependable phone service. If you want your cell to be your primary phone, it's useless. I switched to Virgin Mobile (Sprint), and now I can make calls even from my basement!

I live on E Graham and get little to no service. To get OK reception I have to be outside, but in my home??... .I have to be near a window! Although I get good reception almost all over town, now the grocery stores are another story!

Absolutely no coverage on Ivy Drive / Broadway for Cingular phones. Cingular can do nothing about this.

My contract is up! I'm so sick of Sprint and the customer service! They are horrible! Don't waste your time with them. I'm switching my business and 5 personal lines to Verizon today.

Works good in the West part of town. Very poor on the East side of town. Outside the Mall of the Bluffs, the phone switches to Cingular or has no service with 5 bars (sees Cingular but won't register). Inside the mall it's totally NO SERVICE. Here's the catch... .I've initiated a call outside the mall, when it was on Cingular and was able to keep the call throughout the inside of the mall. Once I terminated the call, the phone said NO SERVICE. Complaints to T-Mobile resulted in "here's your trouble ticket number". A year later, no results. Once my contract is up, they're history! Most places I've been in Omaha are NO SERVICE. Everywhere else I've been in the country I've had pretty good service with T-Mobile, but if they can't fix their network in this town, they're history.

Missouri River and Hwy. 370 Iowa, Council Bluffs, IA 51503 Wed Jul 27, 2011

Verizon took our 3G service way from us Last July 2010. We had the best service for 8 years which is very important to our farming operation. We used to be Digital on their coverage map, now we are Talk and Text and that is now only 50% of the time. Every other call results in lost signal. We live 1.2 miles from a Verizon tower in Bellevue, Ne that we used until Verizon decided they will no longer direct their Nebraska towers into Iowa. Matters worse, they will not make any deals with the companies that have cell towers in Mills and Fremont counties in Iowa. Verizon chose to kick us to the curb. Sprint and AT&T have no plans for 3G in this area of southwest Iowa. We have 2 iPhones,1 Blackberry and 2 older phones. We can no longer call each other when only 1 / 2 a mile apart. I can't understand why the older phones are effected the most. Very dissapointed with Verizon taking away our signal.
