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.

Since Cingular took over ATT - have had absolutely awful recption any where but my home which is second floor on top of big hill! Phone is always cutting in and out when and if I finally get two or three bars. Can't wait for this contract to be up! Again, this has only been since Cingular took over ATT Wireless. I had Cingular in St. Louis when I lived there with no problem whatsoever so am very disappointed that their services have declined as they have..

Driving through this intersection, Verizon has no signal at all. Less than 1,000' from the 2 busiest interstate highways in the country, in the middle of a metro area of 700,000; come on Verizon!

Reception is always good. 4g has worked intermittently recently. I used to have US Cellular, which worked very well, and I am very happy with Sprint and my Evo 3d.

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.

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!

my wife and I got rid of our land line and it turns out that with Cingular that was a colossal mistake. neither of us get any reception inside of our house. especially with my wife's phone, almost every call she gets while in the house cuts off halfway through the call. would not reccommend Cingular to ANYONE.
