I was so sick of all the drop calls on AT&T. A friend of mine switched to Verizon and said he had no problems, so I switched my 4 lines to Verizon. I have to say, it was a very smart move. I have not had any drop calls. The service is strong, and the 3G covers more then AT&T does.

I live near a Sprint tower. Not right next store, but I can see the tower outside my window quite easily... . I barely get reception. To be fair, I've never had a dropped call. One or two bars at most is pretty typical. Even around town. Sometimes in the mornings, my phone won't connect with the towers and I cannot make calls.

And this comes from the company that claims to have the best network with no dead zones... Verizon is scamming parts of the east-side of Des monies, IA

I get great coverage with US Cellular. With my old Blackberry, I almost never got fewer than 3 bars, usually had 5. With my HTC Touch Pro, the antenna isn't nearly as good, so I average 3-4.

Again, I love updating my posts :P. Anyways... I'm at the AIB College of Business in Des Moines, Iowa and I'm SO glad I get service now! No more driving three to five miles outside of town to check to see if I have text messages ugh... but Churdan STILL has no coverage. Now that I have service (amazingly in Des Moines in some buildings such as the Wal-Mart I work at, it does not work 80% of the time in the back of the building... but not NEARLY as bad as reception you get in buildings in Mankato, MN!) It's just nice that I can be reached anywhere at anytime now! I am still a loyal Cingular fan and will continue to be :-).

No matter where I go in Des Moines I can use my U.S. Cellular phone. I've been a customer for a long time and tried several different phones. They all seem to work great!
