I've lived in the same place for 5 years and never had a problem until a few months ago. It took a while to figure out: I had the phone tested, it's been reset, SIM card replaced... Then I noticed the calls almost always fail when I am at home. It works great when I'm away from the immediate neighborhood. As soon as I start getting close to this intersection calls start failing.

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

Verizon signal is flawless.

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!

There's practically no reception inside buildings, and even outside in the clear it's spotty. You can't understand what people are saying.

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

I can't get any reliable reception at my house. I travel quite a bit throughout southern Indiana for work, mainly back and forth along hwy 46 and back and forth along hwy 50. There is no reception out there unless I come to a small town where Verizon has towers. I am frustrated that the much touted merger between Nextel and Sprint did not result in allowing Nextel customers to use Sprint towers; as my work cellphone (a very, very old Audiovox CDM9155SP) can get at least roaming coverage most everywhere in this rural area.

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.

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

I have to set my phone on one specific table in the house to get any reception at all. Usually, it notifies me twenty minutes after somebody calls, IF they leave a voicemail--it almost never rings. For some reason, it actually only works on my left ear at home. If I use my right ear, it cuts out. No joke. Word is Verizon and Sprint are much better 'round here.

Although I have Motorola V330, which is supposed to get good reception, I get almost no signal anywhere on the south side of campus or on the east side of town (but I see that others do get reception, even in elevators). When I do get reception, it fades in and out all the time and the sound quality is poor. I cannot believe T-Mobile claims reception on the IU campus or anywhere near campus in Bloomington.

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.

Tower strength is very spotty and very low. Most calls are lost. Other providers seem to have good tower strength.

AT&T and Verizon towers are spotty and Verizon grabs AT&T signal, telling you it doesn't recognize your signal. Service cuts in and out depending on what part of town you are in, north, south, east or west side.

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.

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

Just bought a house in Fieldstone. I have NO reception in the house and one-two bars if I walk out to the end of my very large deck. Called customer service and they told me "If you want to have 50,000 people move in with you, we'll put a tower right next to your house." Totally rude. Now I'm stuck with a contract and no reception. Beware of Cingular on the west side of Bloomington!

Absolutely terrible. Most calls over a few minutes will suffer a drop. Stepping outside only slightly improves reception. Phone occasionally switches from 1x to analog, and you can hear how truly bad the reception is.

I cannot get any reception inside the hotel. If I want to make a call I have to go outside and even then it is really a weak signal.

Limited on the road with no service in the house. Complaints have done noth to fix the lack of reception.
