Get good reception in Crown Point, 3 to four bars, however once you go east of Broadway and W 109th Ave Signal drops to 1 to 2 bars. Downtown Winfield at Randolph St. and W 109th Ave get 2 bars. I have had Samsung, Ericson, and Nokia phones with little difference in reception. Cingular is O.K.

Service is okay. Calls aren't dropped easily, but the service never seems to go over 2 bars. When traveling, service goes down to only one bar.

Cannot keep a signal in my neighborhood. Lots of dropped calls. Previous owners of my house said every provider was just as bad here. It's not exactly a rural area - what's the deal? I was sold on the "cell phone as your only phone" idea and now I'm regretting it.

Phone service is absolutely horrible. I've lost over 7000 rollover minutes because my family and I could not talk without having dropped calls. Customer service actually told me that I'm not supposed to use the phone inside my house! Cingular / AT&T knows this is a poor service area, but won't add a tower or give any discounts on my bill. Can't wait to change service!

I love over in a town home by the new Strack and Van Tills, and my calls drop all the time inside or outside. Horible singal. As soon as my contract is up I will be getting Cingular.

Practically no coverage in town and surrounding area. You can maybe get one bar if you are on the square by the courthouse and walk around pointing your phone every which way. Once outside of town, going past the fairgrounds on the way to Cedar Lake you get no coverage at all.

Horrible reception in the area, 2 bars around town, and none inside the home, have to walk outside for a signal... 3 different phones all the same reception.
