	Call Drop and Call failed are very frequent. 9 / 10 call fails within 0-5 mins. Spoke to AT&T they said they are upgrading some towers, whatever nonsense this is happening for last 2 months.

	As of a year ago I was getting 5 bars and 3g coverage, even in the basement. Since last august, 0 bars in basement max 2 bars in house but can't make or receive calls. Have to walk aprox 100 ft outside of house for stable 3 bar signal and aprox 100 yards for internet to work. Works great outside 200 yards of house.

T-Mobile 1 Out of 5	Home / Golf Rd., Des Plaines, IL 60016	Thu Apr 12, 2007
	T-Mobile has awful coverage in two places for me. Anywhere in my home and at my aunts house. It is often no bars of reception. Sometimes 1 bar. There street level maps of coverage to me depict lies. Evan when I am outside and driving its not the 5 bars of coverage I would expect. I have changed phones and still no better reception.

US Cellular 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola V262	Mt Prospect Rd. / Dempster, Des Plaines, IL 60016	Mon Dec 12, 2005
	Switched from Cingular to US Cellular last Feb. I very rarely have any reception problems. Even in the farm areas near Peoria. Even when I get 2 bars, the phone calls are still clear and it's always the other person dropping the call, not me. Very happy with US Cellular.

Verizon 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: LG VX3200	Dempster / Elmhurst Rd., Des Plaines, IL 60016	Mon Apr 23, 2007
	My home midway between Elmhurst Rd. and Mt. Prospect road has extremely low signal
