I can hardly get any bars on my phone. I called T-Mobile and they said that the problem was with the phone. However, I just don't believe so. My Nokia 6280 is a triband, dual mode, GSM on the 900,1400 and 1900 Mhz Frequency. That is where I think the problem. Lawrence uses the 850Mhz frequency that Cingular(AT&T) also happens to work at( However, I stand corrected). I'm planning to get a Nokia 6270 which is a quadband phone and which will hopefully get me better reception.

In 1st floor apartment of 2 story complex, wood frame construction, absolutely no service ever. Have to walk several yards into the parking lot, rain or shine, baking heat or frigid weather, to find a connection. If T-Mobile were a person, I would fight that person.

I get great reception all through my 2nd floor apartment, and at work out near Wakarusa. I don't drop calls, but occasionally I get some fuzz in the signal on 6th St. around Bob Billings Pkwy. Other than that, no worries in Lawrence for me so far. In rural NW MO, where my parents live is kind of rough, but I still get signal, and that's the only problem area I've found.

Verizon Wireless sucks hear in Lawrence. I don't know if it was just my phone but I had dropped calls constantly and after a while it just gets really irritating. Can you Hear Me Now? WHAT????? Verizon Wireless, we never stop screwing you over. Verizon phones and reception suck.

Cingular is awesome in Lawrence. I never have any dropped calls because I have more bars in more places. I had dropped calls all the time with Verizon Wireless and I am not sure why. Cingular reception is ridiculously incredible in Lawrence. I get reception inside every place that I go to as well. Absolutely no arguments here about Cingular reception.

I get between 3-5 bars all over Lawrence. Some times I do not recieve calls, even with full signal... not sure why.

I absolutly love the reception I recieve with Verison's service on my Samsung phone. I have been with Verison for over two years now, and don't plan to change anytime in the future. Travel across Kansas for my job and have found that not only is reception and service great in the larger cities, but even the small towns out in "no mans land". I don't think you can go wrong with a Verison service plan, backed up with a Samsung phone.

This is Cingular Blue(Old ATT Network) Outdoor reception is good. It's good in KC and most of Lawrence. It's good along Kansas Turnpike too. Indoor reception is satisfactory. Indoor is not perfect but it's okay.

even though I am on the first floor, I get one to no bars in my lab, when people in the basement labs below me get four bars on their Verizon phones. I also get too many missed calls. I once sat at home, a stones' throw from the location mentioned, and called my phone from my landline. It was showing four bars, but the phone did not ring! Whatever! This connection cuts as soon as my contract is thru.

I get great reception all over Lawrence. Even when the signal is weak (which only happens in more rural areas), reception is still pretty good. I am able to place / receive calls in places others can't (elevators, basements, etc).
