Had Verizon for many years, no problems. Five months ago I started having billing problems. I started getting $200 monthly phone bills. The good news: They fix it. The bad news: Every single month I have to find ONE PERSON who knows the situation. I have his number and extension, but am usually blocked from his ext by Verizon. I have to keep calling till I get through. I spend a minimum of 2 hours per month fixing my bill. I'm switching. But all companies seem to suck

Constantly drop calls. Recently switched from Cingular Wireless with my old phone, never had problems before. I regret switching to Verizon.

horrible reception in this underserved area, especially indoors. We have to stand next to a certain window to make calls, and even then sometimes drops out. I dont know if changing carriers would help if there are no towers. Calls also drop on LakeShore drive, but otherwise the rest of the city, burbs and major city travel seem to be fine.

Service is very spotty around the city but improves out in the suburbs. Can't get a signal ever in any elevator. I was hoping that upgrading from a low end Nokia to the Motorola Razr would improve getting a signal but it's the same. I have to stand near the window of my lakefront high rise to get a signal. A relative recently switched to T-Mobile and had minimal problems while visiting here in CHicago.

I'm on Loyola University's Lake Shore campus and Cingular has extremly poor reception. What's worse is that theirs is the nearest antena tower. Go figure!

I've had a Cingular phone for two years. I use the phone regularly, mostly in Hydepark in Chicago. I can count on one hand the number of dropped calls I've had.

I never think about my phone's reception, which is probably the best compliment I could pay T-Mobile. Travel often throughout North and West sides and Loop.

Moved from Belmont and Clark (w / GREAT reception on T-Mobile and crappy reception on Cingular / ATT) to here. I am now right spanking next to the El, and on 1st floor of a frame 3-story. I initially got 4 bars then 1 bar within the same 2 minute period and many dropped calls. Within the past month, things have gotten better; I wonder if they tweaked it? well it isn't bad enough for me to cancel yet. BTW, visitors report Cingular and Verizon are great; 3+ bars here for them.

If I can get reception in my house it is weak at best. I have to call people and ask them to call me back on my house phone from their cell phones. In good weather I go out on my back porch but the signal goes in and out even there. My phone is part of a work related package so I can't even switch companies at the end of the contract.
