NO Reception inside US Cellular Field (go figure). But reception is great everywhere else.

On the 7th floor, I always have full reception. I've never had a problem with reception in this area since I've switched to Sprint.

On the 59th floor I can rarely if ever get reception on T-Mobile. A friend with Sprint had great reception in the apartment. T-Mobile works fine elsewhere in the city, just not in high rises apparently.

Coverage in our neighborhood is spotty; sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's awful depending on the time of day. I've had Cingular / AT&T for years -- it's always been bad. My roommates have had T-Mobile and Verizon service, and they complained about bad coverage too. I think the area just sucks. There aren't just any towers in Lakeview.

TERRIBLE reception with Verizon. Roommate has T-Mobile and has no problems. I make a lot of calls for work - today I had 15 dropped calls in a matter of a few hours. I'm getting a landline soon because I can't get out of my contract. I even leave my building and make my calls from the alley now in hopes to get better reception. When in the apartment, there are constant breaks in the reception and I can't hold a conversation. When outside, I usually am able to hold a conversation for about 4 minutes before the call drops without warning. Very strange. No matter how many times I have spoken with Verizon there is nothing they have noted that would cause this; one customer service agent didn't even seem to believe me that this is happening. VERY frusturating. Reception usually fine in downtown loop area, though. Although it would be nice to be able to make calls from my own home!

I can barely use my phone in my new apartment, often not at all. Even on the street I get no coverage often, or calls are dropped when I do. This isn't an iPhone issue, as I had the same problem with previous LG phone. ATT more than stinks here. Verizon phones work great. This neighborhood is hardly the hinterlands. I'm beyond frustrated. Stay away from ATT if you're anywhere nearby!

I cannot make or receive calls from inside my office but phones with other carriers, i.e. T-Mobile and U.S. Celular seem to work fine.

I had Verizon for many years in the South and found the coverage excellent, however coverage here is much worse. I usually have 1 - 2 bars anywhere in the city and have many more dropped calls.
