When I first got my RAZR, my reception was so good, I was getting ready to cancel my phone service and just use my cell. Then, last Fall, something changed and now I cannot even check my voice mail from my home (even when I walk outside). I walk around town sometimes and talk to my friend in Arizona, but now I can't even do that. I MIGHT get a signal enough to have a conversation for a couple of minutes, only to be dropped because I could not get a signal. I used to brag about how great Cingular was, now I tell people not to get it because the phone is useless without a signal. I cannot wait until my contract is up... if the problem is not fixed soon, I am definitely switching companies. My other family members have Illinois Valley Cellular and they NEVER have problems with their signal.

Up until about 5 months ago, you could get Good to Perfect reception anywhere in Onarga. However, once ATT and Cingular began "integrating" their towers, not only do you not get a strong signal, but most days you can't even get the network signal! It stinks. Many of us in the area who have Cingular service have called customer service on numerous occasions, only to be told time after time that they're "working on it." It's been nearly 6 months, and for 9 hours a day, I have no phone signal. If you live in Onarga, do not get Cingular service.

I get good reception in most of the area. Some buildings cause problems, more metal less reception. I get full signal strength at my residence in rural Onarga most days, even in the basement. There are some low reception areas between Onarga and Champaign, but generally still able to send and receive calls.
