There is no reception within the interior of the buildings here at Orchard Place. Standing outside gets you about 1 bar.

coverage: excellent. Service: poor. Our daily travels take us from approx 20 miles west of Chambana to about 10 miles east. Excellent coverage, including within buildings near quad. We stay with Cingular for coverage, not service< / b>, which has been poor (but probaly no worse than Verizon).

Been with Cingular for two months now... am getting pretty good reception all over town... even in my lab, which is enclosed by several walls on all sides. Initially, some calls were dropped and I also have trouble if I try to use an unlocked GSM phone from my previous service provider (T-mobile).Some calls don't even reach my phone. Don't know why! But with the phone that came with the service, it is better than T-Mobile service! The 611 service is too wordy... the recorded voice keeps talking and talking! Customer service is ok, but not "great"!

Frequently drops calls at north end of campus, presumably because of WILL-AM tower

Can sometimes hold a conversation with a caller when I'm in the house, but usually have to go outside. At Old Orchard Lanes in Savoy, I have practically no reception, although a friend of mine who is on Verizon has a clear signal.

My service MetroPCS service was activated in Atlanta and I get perfect reception in Champaign, which is a huge improvement fromt the last time that I came up and tried to use this carrier in Champaign. About a year ago I ended up wasting almost a month of service due to non-reception and it works perfect now.

Cingular and Sprint were sketchy a couple years ago when I tried various services. Nextel had the best signal by far over the widest area. I've heard from friend that new towers are up for the other services so they may have improved.

Never dropped a call except for in the third basement of a building, always have internet. I have been driven from Philadelphia to Atlanta to Seattle to LA and nearly everywhere between and the only times I have had any problems while was speeding through the valleys of mountains in Montana. Customer service leaves something to be desired but otherwise a great cheap provider.
