I have had too many dropped calls and poor reception times than I can count. Most of the time I can hear about every third word of the person. I have spent HOURS on the phone with tech support and though they are very nice, they make a lot of excuses for the company and after reading here I can see it's not going away anytime soon. We used to be with AT&T until they got bought out by Cingular and it went from great to crappy in no time at all. Supposedly they are changing over towers and it should get better, as they say, but it sounds like they have been saying that for a very long time. I will never use this company again as long as I am living in this state (which hopefully won't be for very much longer as Kansas is even worse than Cingular and that says a lot).
Have had VZW for 2 years and have had terrible service ever since. Signal is weak and my wife and I get a lot of dropped calls. Customer service says theres nothing they can do about it til more towers are put up.
I have been with Cingular for 8 years and the best coverage and the best service about 4 years ago before they switched to the T-Mobile towers. they said that it would make the phones better yea right the towers they are on now is about six patches on top of an old system from 1999 that was the last time any new equipment was installed. I want to switch carriers but it is $150 to buy out or wait another year to get out of it. if you are thinking of going with Cingular don't. oh and this more bars in more areas if someone finds this let me know because I noticed less bars in more areas.
I have found that the Cingular coverage is bettter than Sprint but I am still having problems with connections inside my house We also have a Nokia phone, Cingular service, and I have been pleased with it so far, we are thinking of getting the new Nokia flip phone since our 2 yr old dropped the Motorola in the aquarium. good thing, it sucked anyway.
I've had quite a few dropped calls with Sprint in this area and in others. They seem to have decent coverage, but I've still had calls dropped with my phone showing full-signal (and I did have my phone replaced).
Traveled all over the country and have had better coverage than other friends and fellow Business travelers. The only thing I don't like is that you can have spotty service along some of the major highways, but, that can be due to the land features in the area (Hills, Buildings, Overpasses).
