Nextel just put up a new tower on Oct 29th at the UMass Campus in Amherst. Coverage is killer!

Overall the quality of coverage on campus depends on where one is at the time. For the most part being outdoors the signal strength for both EV, an 1x being near maxed. The problem arise when ones is using a phone inside the buildings. Reception can vary greatly inside. Not sure if this is because of interference due to Wi-Fi / other electronics signals or the signal is not able to penetrate into the buildings.

Reception is usually good to very good, between 2-4 bars on my phone. The only problem is for some reason we do get a lot of dropped calls especially at night. There are 3 of us in all using using Verizon and experience the same issue.

I don't know what other T-Mobilers are talking about but my service is pretty decent. I stay in my dorm and get around 3 bars. When I go outside it increases to 4-5 bars. When around the library, it is always full, even at the basement. Even in the Bezanson center, I manage to get a bar most of the time. In and around campus, always seemed to have decent connection like downtown and the supermaket strips. In the mall, however you get no connection what soever. Not many dropped calls except one or two when I was deep inside the basement.

Coverage in Amherst, Sunderland, and most of Hadley is very good. South Hadley, Deerfield, Belchertown and Pelham can be spotty in places. Dr.Rt 202 between Belchertown and Rt 2 and you get no signal at all.

In the school the reception is bad, as it is for all the other carriers but around Amherst it is great.

Reception is not bad here, but it was minimal and choppy in N. Amherst on Montague Rd. I have had to put up with countless dropped calls all over this region though, for the last 5 or 6 months. This happens more than once a day! I need to get a new phone because the screen is dead, so I am looking into other carriers. I have not been able to find any decent regional evaluation of carrier call quality, reception, etc. Any suggestions on that?

Signal not good, but will show "Cingular Extended" if too weak and get better. Always busy network after 9:00. May because my phone has a internal antenna, receiving signal is worse than those with external.
