None of the carriers have an average signal in this area, especially in the lower elevations

Most everyone on Peppers Mill Dr. in Lone Oak has little to no reception regardless of Verizon or AT&T. Don't know about Sprint. Locator maps all show coverage. Can't get rid of land line that just increased $10 / month

I can't use my phone on the previously mentioned Buckner to the mall route, nor can I talk from I-24 overpass, past the community college all the way to the Country Club of Paducah area! There is NO excuse for that!

Very Strong Signal Go Sprint Power Up! Excellent signal.

Bad reception near mall, none at home. Frequent dead spots on new extension to mall from Bukner at I-24 underpass. Weak, intermittent signal a chronic problem. I would switch to any carrier that has a signal reliably - whatever the price - no service is a waste of money, no service = no value.

When Crossing from Kentucky to Illinois. Once are on the illinois side of the bridge calls will drop out and reception is regained once you pass the Metropolis, IL exit 1 mile later.

I get pretty good reception with T - Mobile around town but traveling around the Heath community there is little to no reception - also no reception going HWY 45 to Mayfield after you pass the area known as "the bottoms" until you get to Mayfield. I tried a Sprint phone for a one week trial (they let you do this) to see how service is - seems to be a lot better than Cingular or TMobile in the Heath ? Paducah area - not sure about HWY 45 area. I took this phone all over KY and TN adn the reception was excellent - I am definanatly switching to Sprint! PLUS to all you parents out there - Sprint has a new phone with Parental Controls - check it out for your teen!! Sanyo SCP-2400 - looks good - not like the Firefly by Cingular!

I live in an apartment complex behind the Mall area in Paducah Ky. The reception is intermittent. Cingular needs to put a tower near Ky Oaks Mall that will provide service inside the mall and the low lying area around the mall. Also, when you are travelling I24 toward Illinois as soon as you round the curve before the bridge the service drops. I work at the casino in Metropolis Illinois and there is not signal at the casino or on the parking lot. Cingular needs to put a tower west of paducah that probably solve a lot of problems in metropolis and paducah. Before they changed some of the tower signal I was able to get service in Metropolis.

I get a dropped call 100% of the time while crossing the Ohio River bridge. Dead area from mid-span of the bridge to Exit 3 on the KY side. VZW needs to improve on their hand-off between IL and KY calls. Otherwise, this is the best coverage in the area.

Sprint PCS has promised to get a tower up in Mayfield,Ky but they still haven't come on Sprint PCS there's no service in Mayfield but I love Sprint better than Cingular Cingular fees are to high and there charges Sprint has good reception in Paducah,Ky
