Good reception here after a restore to factory defeats and NOT restoring by back from the 2g phone. No 3g however. Hopefully someday soon. 10 / 10 / 2008.

Works great even in the basement. Full bars.

Never dropped a call in Des Moines. I travel around the city and around the state often and have always had great reception and service with U.S. Cellular in 8 years!

i used to have zero signal when I first got this phone back in march but out of no where this summer, I sat in my second floor bedroom and had 5 bars.

Varies inside the mall, but never looses service. Only seen it go as low a 3 bars.

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!

Overall good reception nation wide.

Rarely have any reception problems in the metro area. Usually 4-5 bars everywhere. :)

No reception in 2004 on this street but it is GREAT now.
