The service is great with Verizon. We are extreamly happy with Verizon. We came from AT&T. Teh 3G is everywhere and fast.

I get amazing reception in New Orleans with Alltel. I rarely ever have had less than two bars anywhere and dropped calls are pretty rare. Even inside an old shotgun house with solid cypress planks in the wall (where my Tracfone that used AT&T gsm and another before that that used t-mobile's networks couldn't ever get a call inside the house, plus it's right next to another similar shaped house) my Alltel cdma phone can get and receive calls reliably.

Once you hop in almost any building, there will be no service. T-Mobile is rediculous for wasting my time. Been dealing with them for months now, I'm planning to file a complaint with the district court if they charge me for breaking my contract. Why advertise a service, when there is none?

My Sprint phone usually works fine. But when it doesn't, I force the phone to roaming, and it works great. And I pay no roaming charges. LG 350 allows you to force the phone into roaming mode. Get a phone which includes digital and analog roaming (Sprint and Verizon include this on some phones), and which lets you force it to roaming mode; and a plan which give you free roaming; and you'll always get a good signal on your phone. GSM phones have no analog (i.e. AT&T and T-Mobile). Nextel works only on Nextel towers (no roaming at all).

I get great reception all around town except in my second floor apartment. If a call goes through, it is sure to be dropped. I wonder whether a different phone would help?

Wow, we had Alltel, and sense Alltel bought Verizon, we went ahead and switch to Verizon and LOVE it! Service is in so many more places then AT&T and Sprint!

My Sprint phone fluctuates between 0 and 2 bars at home (Franklin and Gentilly area) inside AND outside. Calls are constantly dropped, causing me to get a home phone. Otherwise, my phone gets good reception everywhere else in the city and even on the outskirts. I have an AT&T laptop card which also gets very poor reception in this area (inside AND outside). The card gets good reception most other places until west of Laplace.

I have lived in new orleans for three years and originally had Nextel service, but due to the sorriest service I have ever experienced I decided after eleven years to break away. I have had other services for my personal use (nextel was always business) going on fourteen years it seems I have tried them all. So I switched to Sprint to try something totally different but being they had merged with Nextel they were exactly as sorry, and now that they have outsourced their support to India good luck on unstanding any phone conversation with either networks. Lets see... ... ... ... ... ..whos next?

Poor reception most of the time. Lost Calls at least twice a day.

Good reception most of the time - including within elevators.

I have to walk outside to get two bars and sometimes that doesn't work.

can not receive any signal at all in my home. all calls within about 1 / 2 mile are most often dropped.

AT&T and Sprint give poor to no reception indoors and below average outdoors.

I cannot use my AT&T Samsung phone on the first floor in my house. I have to go outside or upstairs. My AT&T wireless card for my laptop does not get strong signal either. Once I cross the high rise and get closer to dpwntown, it works better. My work phone is from Verizon and always has good signal and never drops calls. After almost 3 years now, this can no longer be blamed on katrina. I allowed AT&T to talk me into new 2 year contract. Now I have to wait until the end of 2009 to switch to verizon. AT&T SUCKS ! !

Just got the new T-Mobile Wing and was very excited about the phone and the excellent coverage T-Mobile told me I had at my house... 4 to 5 bars they said. HOWEVER... I seem to only register at best 2 bars. Is this what T-Mobile thinks is excellent coverage? Many times I don't even have a signal. And many times I've gotten my voice messages from the previous evening the next morning because that is how long it took before a signal registered on my phone. Not sure what the deal is but shame on you T-Mobile for the poor coverage and the false advertising of coverage.

Constant problems receiving calls, breaking-up while on call

April 7, 2007 Cingular in New Orleans: 'Poor reception or no reception. 'Very unreliable since one year before Katrina (that's when I signed with Cingular.) This is my 4th phone as I keep begging Cingular for one with better reception. 'Can't get a straight answer from Cingular tech help people about which model picks up better. I strongly suspect it's because the Cingular network and the negligible amount of band width they provide me is the real problem. During rush hour, during french quarter fest, jazz fest, carnival, my Cingular network is so busy that my phone is almost unusable, and I am not in the crowds; not at the events. 20 or so trys eventually gets it. Dropped calls? Usually. Wait time to report difficulties with Cingular phone support? 15 to 20 minutes. (monumentally frustrating) What is acomplished when I report these "events"? Nothing. How small is the sliver of band width Cingular provides me? Anyone interested in a class action against Cingular? Cingular sure is good at collecting my $75.00 per month.
