Cingular just sucks in my area. There is little or absolutely no reception in my apartment and the customer service is just awful. They are still the biggest highway robbers you would ever find. Fooled me into a 2 year contract with offers of rollover minutes with 29.99 plan and then told me later that the offer is only with 39.99 plan. I should have stuck to AT&T plan or switched to Verizon that is supposed to be much better

This phone works awfull all around the lafayette area. Voice quality is terrible, people sound like the're under water half the time. Not just my phone, but everyone I know around here has the same problems. STAY AWAY IF YOU CAN!

Perfect reception all around West Lafayette / Lafayette, IN.

Never droped calls or didn't receive calls in my dorm. I can't say that for Cingular or sprint. Verizon is the way to go on Purdue's campus.

Verizon SUCKS... Stay away from their service. I used to have Cingular service on a personal phone, and Verizon service on a work phone. Well, quit carrying my personal phone when contract was up and regretting it ever since. They have the worst coverage I think can be found around the West Lafayette area.

My phone has a 6 bar signal meter. I usually get 5 to 6 bars around the University Inn area, and inside West Lafayette. According to Verizon, they added three new towers in the following locations: -SR 26 E at I-65 -Purdue Campus (atop the Boiler Televison Tower at Slater Hill) -SR 26 at US 52 I also know of other towers in town:along Beck Lane in South Lafayette, SR 38 E at Subaru Isuzu, and Market Square Shopping Center. There is also one tower near Montmorenci. I live at Jefferson Commons, and the cell reception goes from two to five bars all the time. No dropped calls as of yet.

Only one or two buildings that I can't get reception. Mostly because these buildings are either underground or made completely of cinder blocks and concrete. Probably other cheaper alternatives, but this phone and Nextel’s service seem to be worth it.

Since start of spring semester reception is a lot better everywhere. Verizon put up 2 towers in December and the rep told me they have a few more coming.

I dont know what people are complaining about... I get reception everywhere in most buildings i get at least three bars out side I get four or five. The only time I get one bar or no service is when I'm in the basement of a building.

I have 3 bars outside on campus. 0-1 bar inside building even near a window. I am gonna switch to Cingular. Heard that there is a tower on campus for Cingular.
