Just switched from Cingular to Verizon and cannot believe the difference. It is like day and night between the two companies as far as reception is concerned.
Just moved from out of state and have had Cingular for the past 6 years or so. I have never had the problem with poor reception and dropped calls as I have in Wichita the first 2 weeks I have had the service. I am getting out before my 30 day trial period is up. I can't see doing this for 2 years! The reception is terrible all over Wichita for the most part, but the dropped calls is the most annoying.
If you make a call when you're showing less than 4 or 5 bars, you can plan on it being dropped. As an uneducated customer, I purchased a Cingular Nation plan (GSM phone) only to find out that the coverage map is so limited that it is worthless.
Cingular service on the north side of Wichita is a joke. The digital network doen't cover all of Wichita. Half of the north side of town is on the analog network. Almost impossible to make a phone call in my house becuase the signal is so poor. Had T-Moblie previous, with no issues like this. Have also tested signal from Wichita to Kansas City via the Turnpike, and reception is horrible. Can't stay on the digital side of Cingular, keeps kicking you to the analog network, and the signal strentgh there is practically un-useable.
