ok, at college mall dicks, bestbuy north east south west side of bloomington SERVICE ROCKS ILOVE VERIZON IN BTOWN!

Verizon signal is flawless.

Im happy with my reseption I get reseption every ware and I use my phone as a modem

I've never had a dropped call and rarely if ever have below 5 bars. This goes for every store, mall, house, apartment, and building i've been on campus. At the heart of some of the biggest buildings at IU I sometimes only have 2 bars, but I never lose calls, and never have trouble hearing who i'm on the phone with. Amazing service!

Never had a problem in the car anywhere in Bloomington. Reception used to be near zero inside Classic Lanes. Now it is strong which means I can't hide there anymore. A phone with a strong antenna makes a big difference obviously.

Coverage is excellent virtually everywhere, including inside my house. Some loss of signal inside College Mall, but not enough to drop calls.

Five bars on the far east side of Bloomington. Three bars on North maple grove road on the North side of Bloomington. Can't really complain.

I get reception in almost every room of every building on campus. I think that my phone has something to do with that though, since I seem to get better reception than most of the people I know, even those with Verizon. But I have seen a few other Verizon phones get reception even in the worst rooms as well. Overall, I believe that Verizon has the best service available... no contest.

Excellent reception in most of the outside places, and got signals in most of the classrooms.

I've had a new Nokia 6230 phone for about a month, and reception is GREAT all over town. I usually have at least 6 of 7 bars, whether I am inside or outside of buildings, near or far from campus. I was previously on AT / T CDMA, which was sometimes unreliable, but my new GPRS phone is great. I've yet to find a single place in town where I cannot get reception. My friend has T-Mobile and he can hardly ever get signal.

I can use my phone in most elevators without missing a single word. The phone gets horrible battery life when it's out of signal range, however.

I get wonderful reception almost everywhere in Bloomington. Of course elevators are a little tricky, but if I go in on it, it won't cut out. I know it's a prepaid service... but it's one of the best.

Cingular reception is just as good if not better than Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint, on campus. My roomate has Verizon, and we seem to get the same coverage just about everywhere. I sometimes have a bar more than him. Plus, Cingular's reception is supposed to get better now that they bought out AT&T.

Coverage is good on campus, I usually have a perfect or near-perfect signal. The only problem is in some of the older buildings my signal will fade but that's to be expected.

Signal is okay in campus, but no signal at all in most classrooms. Quite a lot of drop calls.

The reception in this area of Bloomington (South side of the IU campus) is actually getting better. I get at least 3 bars outdoors, and in the upper level of the dorms, I actually get up to a full 6 bars. T-Mobile is getting a little better, but there's still room for improvement. If they say they're going to put up another tower, then stop flooding us with ads, and start spending more on the towers.

Generally pretty good in Bloomington, but weak near this area. Can usually catch 2 bars inside, 3 outside.

Decent enough when outside (3-4 bars), but ABYSMAL inside my ground-floor room--I get one bar (if I'm lucky) by the window, and if I cross the room to my bed, the call will drop and outbound calls will be rejected.

Reception fluctuates quickly. Can have perfect reception for a few seconds, mediocre reception for a few seconds, and then be disconnected -- all in under a minute. During daylight hours, usually can't talk for more than 15 minutes without disconnection. Nighttime is usually better.

Most often I get 2 bars. Whenever I am on campus I am lucky to get 1 bar. The reception is very poor.
