Never had a problem with U.S. Cellular reception in DeKalb.

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.

This is the only friggin cell phone I've ever had work out here! My T-Mobile sucked, my friends Sprint phone sucks and forget Cingular, you'll never get a signal out here! I actually had an event happen where I was at a party and we were all trying to get a hold of someone, everyone whipped out their phones and I was the ONLY one with reception! YEAH FOR NEXTEL!

i talk on the phone alot to my girlfriend long distance and it never fails. if i'm walking around and move behind a building it goes out. if I move around close to my walls.. it goes out. I almost regret answering because it usually ends up in a fight because I only hear every other word.

This has to be the worst cellphone co. in the entire world. I got absolutely no reception in or around my apartment. I have to go down like 3 blocks before I can even dial out or hold a signal. When I called asking for assistance, their customer service are as horrible as their signal is. I will never ever refer anyone to Cingular and I cancelled my plan already. NO ONE GET CINGULAR!

Generally decent, but the network seems to have "fits" occasionally where you may or may not be able to make calls out or you'll have a lot of calls dropped..

it seemed liek the entire city of dekalb illinois was a virtual dead zone for cingular. In and around northern illinois university and the surrounding areas I had no reception at all. My friend that attends NIU had Cingular but was forced to switch to Verizon because of horrible reception. Even with Cingular he gets an average of 1 bar and topping out at 2

Works okay outside, nearly unusable in my apartment. My old Nokia 3589i was 100x better.

Almost always good reception, although about one or two times reception has faded and I have missed a call. Generally no complaints

I get pretty bad singals in my apt and near by area. but if go little further toward Lucinda..then signal strength is pretty good..i say perfect.
