Reception up here is horrible! I tried calling AT+T to complain, they said coverage should be fine because there is a tower 1 mile south and another 1 mile north... . Please call and place a complaint, maybe if enough of us call they'll add a tower. We live in a major city we should have service in our homes.

Sprint Sucks... I had pretty good signal till Nov of 2007. Then it went to H*LL. We have lemon laws that protect us from car companies... why not cell phone service? You get locked into a contract with these horrible providers of service!

I am in my room, 2 floor and have never had any reception issue. My roommate has Sprint and he has to go to the deck. I think AT&T it is very decent.

Terrible reception in my bldg. Lots of dropped calls. Bars constantly drop to 1 or zero and back up again. Had the same problem (actually even worse) with Sprint in my bldg on same phone as well as regular flip phone. Have dropped calls around city with both carriers but Sprint seemed better when traveling to other cities. Verizon DOES work in my bldg others use thier phones here without issue.

S Wacker Dr. / Monroe intersection, Chicago, IL 60606 Wed Mar 12, 2008

I work downtown and live in the northern suburbs and no matter where I go I always have perfect, or near perfect reception. The only time I go below 3 bars is when I am underground at Union Station, but I usually have good enough reception there to check my voicemail and send or receive text messages. My fiance' has Verizon Wireless and he never has good reception and his calls get dropped all the time.

Lots of lost or not received calls. Not just here but everywhere. In general Nextel blows donkey balls. You would think a major phone company would get with it..Nah just loose customers who will never return Bye Bye Nextel.

Reception is generally ok outside, not the best. I am on the top floor of my building and get horrible reception in most rooms to where I cannot talk on the phone well. I'm currently trying decide to switch to Verizon or us cellular?

160 N. LaSalle / Randolph intersection, Chicago, IL 60601 Tue Feb 19, 2008

Can only get reception on south side of my building (Bilandic Building west across LaSalle from Thompson Center). Outside in the loop, forget it--even on the bridges where presumably there is less blockage. I only get reception on one block in my walk to the Northwestern train station. Called Cingular, they said they were working on their towers--many of you have been told the same thing over the years. Ask around; there is undoubtedly a class-action in the works.

Verizon Wireless

Western / Division intersection, Chicago, IL 60622 Mon Feb 04, 2008

Usually I get a decent reception while I'm close to the window, and walking down division. I get good reception from these Verizon towers that my Centennial Wireless phone roams to. But it will drop calls if I am to far towards in interior of the building.
