terrible coverage, dropped texts.would not recommend, use a different phone service!

Sprint service use to be pretty shaky but they have put up 3 new towers and now have good service just about everywhere in the South Bend Mishawaka region. Not 5 bars everywhere but usally 3-4 and works indoors most places.

I've had T-Mobile all the way back to their Voicestream days (10 years!) and I've never had a single issue. Good or great reception everywhere and never had a dropped call from South Bend, Niles, Chicago or Indy or anywhere.

EVERYTIME we go through this intersection your call gets dropped, no service, for about 100' in any direction of this intersection. Also heading North on Miami when you go down the hill samething no service. T-Mobile here in Indiana is really crappy, they haven't developed enough partnerships with Cingular and built enough towers to provide good service in this area. Only time service is decent is if you are right on top of a tower! I have informed T-Mobile every month for the last 10 months about how crappy service is here and they just say "We will let our engineers know of the problem" Not to mention every phone that I have gotten from them I have had to exchange atleast 1 time in the first year. The best phone I recieved from them was my Nokia 3595. Motorola c650 doesn't like the internet, the Samsung e315 is just crap, you cannot store downloaded games on the phone! T-Mobiles tech support and their stores are useless when you have a problem. I had to flash my phone myself to fix the problems, they said "We can send you a new phone $10 for upto 10 day delivery or $15 for 3 day delivery" they said "We were spending 20 million a month on shipping replacement phones so we had to start charging" Well if you got decent phones and didn't screw them up with your branding you wouldn't have that problem... March 8th my contract is up and I will be going elsewhere... FINALLY! BTW I had T-Mobile in FLorida and everything was great there, no service problems at all! If I was still in Florida I would never leave T-Mobile!

I went to rockford with my us cellular phone and back, spending a couple of days in chicago. My service was phenominal! Hardly ever went without a decent signal. I get great coverage in indiana as well but my coverage doesn't cover indianapolis. Us cellular please expand!

I only recieve my texts randomly, have alot of missed calls and or dropped calls. Will go to work the next day and have a voice mail from the previous nite!I can't hear you now!

Lousy reception... Calls dropped or dismissed... No help from Verizon...

I just got service with Verizon yesterday. I got home and to my disbelief... .can you hear me now... ha! hell no. 1 bar / choppy reception etc. I have lived up here for 4 years and have never once had a problem with Centennial Wireless's reception in this area. But because the in-laws and my family in texas are all on Verizon, I thought I'd switch! Hmmm, maybe it would be nice as long as I'd be able to actually talk to them. We'll see.

Service is deteriorating as time passes. Initially got one or two bars in 2005. Now it's rare to have service at this location.

Don't get the Niles / northern SB, IN area! Area just N. of IN / MI state line, about 4-5 miles N, dead zone, even on 331 and the 31 Bypass--no reception, N. all the way to Berrien Springs (maybe further). No reception extends to at least bypass to west, and past Barron Lake Rd to east
