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.

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.

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).

A lot of people think Sprint has a bad rep. for reception but it's really good and their plans are too!

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 had a problem with dropped calls with Verizon. Everything works as intended.

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"!

I rarely get dropped calls and things pretty much come through clearly, but I still don't get as many bars as I probably should in the city. On the plus side, Verizon's coverage area around Illinois, even in the middle of it, is pretty darn good compared to other carriers.

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