I put a 3, but it's really flaky... Cingular will show me 3 bars, but then I go to dial and they are Phantom bars... get a lot of dropped calls around 71st and Spring Mill as well. Signal good downtown and in Park100 for the most part.
Sometime summer of 2006, Cingular put in a new tower or made some sort of dramatic improvement. Previous reception was 0-1 bars. Now it's consistantly 5 bars 24 / 7. Thank you Cingular!
Sprint is horrible in this area. I am lucky to get two bars. My friend has Verizon and it seems to be okay. Sprint is horrible but they handcuff you with their contracts.
I am presently using my 3rd replacement phone under warantee, for the v180. A service rep did advise me that this model was a "dog" and I may be able to switch out of it to an LG model. However, my husband has a Nokia and has similar service problems to mine. Phone service is choppy, callers complain that my voice fades in and out and I cannot hear them well either. Many times I cannot place an outbound call, and have to 'retry' many times before it goes through. Calls are dropped often. Worse, often I will discover a message left on my phone and it has not even rung. Reception was better downtown. My husband had Sprint service previously, and it worked well - we may switch back soon, once the contract is up.
Service is practically useless in Meridian / Kessler, Broadrippls, Butler areas. I cannot make or recieve calls from anywhere around my house. Amazing given the age / income demographics of this area! 100% of the few calls I do receive or make are dropped. Very poor reception for the few seconds It does connect. Downtown and traveling across USA reception is great. Just don't expect to receive any calls in Near North Indy.
Valley Ridge Farms--I work from home and my Sprint cell phone is my main line. My home office is on the 2nd floor and I constantly drop calls. Although reception is somewhat better close to a window, the signal fades in and out. Sprint has acknowledged few towers in this area, but being about a 1 / 2 mile from State Rd.37 is no excuse.
My friend lives in huddleston estates between stop 11 and southport on 135. He and everyone else that comes to his house with Cingular has aweful reception in his house and around the area. My grandparents live near Perry Meridian High School and also use Cingular with little to no service. The best carrier in this area is Verizon because they have a tower right behind Perry Meridian Middle School. Cingular needs to build a tower in this area. I have Sprint and though I only have 1 or 2 bars, I rarely have a dropped call in this area.
