Verizon 5 Out of 5 Phone Model: Treo 700w	Algonquin Rd. / Sandbloom, Algonquin, IL 60102	Fri Oct 17, 2008
Verizon 5 Out of 5 Phone Model: Treo 700w	Verizon Wireless always has consistently good call quality and signal strength, not only for voice calls but data as well.

Sprint 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: TREO	Algonquin / Algonquin, Algonquin, IL 60102	Tue Aug 14, 2007
Sprint 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: TREO	My Problem with Sprint is that they can never get their phone bills staight! Sprint customers, make sure you check your bills because lots of hidden charges. Customer service reps don't know their job and 1 month problem turns into 4-5 months and next you are dealing with a $900.00 bill.

Verizon 1 Out of 5	N. Harrison / Rt 62, Algonquin, IL 60102	Mon Jun 04, 2007
Verizon 1 Out of 5	Little to no reception in my house on the Fox. Also, dropped calls on Algonquin Rd / Rt 62 right at the county line, near the big antennas. Doesn't work with Sprint / Nextel, either.

AT&T 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola RAZR V3	31 and 62 (Main and Algonquin), Algonquin, IL 60102	Thu Apr 06, 2006
AT&T 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola RAZR V3	I am a former AT&T, now Cingular user. I have been with thjem for 6 years, you can't say I have not tried! While at work, my phone gets into "Emergency Only" mode, and often times the only way to get out of it when I leave, is to shut it off and restart. Around town and everywhere else, my strngth signal will be at 1 bar then osilate to 6 bars, all within a few seconds. The amount of dropped calls and warbled calls are astronomical... . I'm switching to US Cellular. Based on most of the reviews on this website, the number 1 SUCK company is Cingular / AT&T. Also, it seems, from the reviews, GSM is still not anywhere close to speed with coverage. Yes, you may get the fancy phones and good phone prices with Cingular and T-Mobile, if you're willing to sacrifice the service. Today I am switching to US Cellular and I will post another reivew tolet you all know if it is better. One can only hope...

T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V600	Rt. 62 (Algonquin Rd.) / Helm Rd., Algonquin, IL 60102	Mon Dec 05, 2005
T-Mobile 0 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V600	Often drops calls in this dead spot. I am now aware of this before I get there, so I know to wait to make a new call, or get off the line and dial back a little later.
