I haven't had many problems with reception from home, but when I start moving around on the Bench area of town, reception can be tricky. Maybe it's all the beautiful, old trees!

I have to walk out side almost all the way to the curb to get reception, If I need to talk to someone, I just go outside. This would be acceptable if my fiancee's T-Mobile had the same problem... . geuss it's time to switch! Other than at my house the service rocks tho!

Overall, very good reception. Rarely do I drop a call or have less than 3 bars of service.

At home, at work (near the Mall), at Wal-Mart (all the way back by the eggs yet... ) I get great reception. One call in 50 might drop at some point, or make a noise. Fixed price great. Since Sept. 2001 I have had phone service with Cricket. It does seem to take them forever to process checks sent to them in mail... You really need to send in a full week before due date... They need to clean up their act on this... Calling card works fine for rare long distance call. Have heard some complaints from others at office... Suggest that anyone contemplating Cricket borrow phone for a few days and try in all likely spots and consider needs (drive to Mt. Home every day? Then forget it... )

Reception is pretty good except outlying areas like north Eagle. I have been somewhat satisfied with T-Mobile and the plans pricing is great but my phone(or carrier) has the most annoying habit of not vibrating when I get a call and not notifying me for 15 minutes after. Makes me want to switch carriers but nothing else seems like a better value. Very few dropped calls, "network busy" error comes up every 1 / 25 calls or so

I never really had a problem with service. Maybe a few drop calls cuz sometimes my phone switches towers. But thats maybe once every 3 months... I love the service that AT&T provides. Out does everything I know

Verizon is horrible wherever I go. Inside or outside, I rarely have more than 1 or 2 bars. If I am even able to make a call, it is frequently dropped. I live in the middle of town and would expect to have at least decent service... .not at all the case.

Carriage crossing apartments. Barely one bar in or outside apartment. Almost all calls drop. Goes into digital roaming often outside or in! Right in middle of town.

Really never had a problem wherever I went. Virgin Mobil uses the Sprint Network and I've never had a call dropped... it was from the other end. Virgin Mobil phones aren't the best quality though... kinda like a cheap dashboard in a cheap car... but seem to work okay. I like the Snapper over the other models.

At the Albertson's in this location, I can keep a signal barely long enough to have a fast conversation. Inside the store, I have 2-3 bars until I dial, then I have none. My home is a mile away, and the reception in my house is also terrible - almost all of my calls are dropped very quickly.
