Almost NO service in my house... East window upstairs will provide enough signal to get voice mails, change settings... Calling really iffy. Verizon (previous carrier) just as bad. I'm in a dead zone... 1 / 2 block in any direction is great signal!

I would say perfect signal but I can't seem to stay connected to their 3G network. Oh well. Other than that, the only building I do not get signal in is Montgomery.

Service doesn't work -- can't place or receive a single call with this prepaid cricket phone. Falls back to "american roaming" for attempts to make outbound calls, calls to program the phone are staticy / don't work, inbound calls go to voicemail. Frequent "out of service" messages.

Had problems with Verizon when travelling to the west to work. Lots of dead areas. Switched to US Cellular a year ago and have never had a problem anywhere in N. Illinois.

I get reasonable reception even in the basement if I set the phone in the window and use the earpiece. I have had Cingular for about four years now, because it's what works when I'm at work. Reception in town here has improved a lot in the last year.

Signal is almost non existent at times. I'm lucky to get 2 bars (that's a good day). I have 2 cells, 1 for work and a personal one. My personal is Sprint and have excellent reception in the same area.

I am with cingular, although I used to be with ATT. I usually have full bars unless I'm going out toward the shopping area where I lose service. Verizon is the best reception company out here tho. I have not had problems with my service only because I think I came from the old ATT company not the new Cingular company.
