Terrible, 4 bars is a dream. I'm happy when I'm between 2 and 3, and when I place a call 3 times out of 7 the reception just dies off and I can't hear anything. My text message are delayed greatly... sometime I even receive them over 24 hours later. I get a try again error 3 times out of 5 and to tell the truth this is extremely frustrating. I am greatly dissapointed and overall this provider seems to be a joke.

I have no problems getting reception with this phone and provider. Highly recommended.

No reception around the Berklee College of Music area whatsoever... none. Even on the top floor of the Berklee dorms no service up high or street level.

I'm mystified by the folks reporting problems with Verizon. I have used my frequently dropped and otherwise abused Motorola V60 all over the city and burbs with no problems whatsoever. I switched off of Sprint four / five years ago and have no complaints about phone service. Their customer service, however, sucks and I am desperately trying to find another carrier with comparable coverage who will pamper me.

I'm right at the Brookline / Boston border near BU. I get no reception indoors. I get 5 bars outside but for some reason can't make a phone call. I have to go at least 0.5 mile to get reliable / usable signal. I've had Verizon for years and in the last 8 months their service seems to have gotten worse.

Usually good service around the hill, even indoors. The only spots with problems have been downtown, near the water and Quincy Market, but that has gotten better in 2004. Some places in Allston are also bad, but most everywhere around the city has been good.

Good reception on the street near JFK / UMASS train station, in my 3rd floor apartment. My E105 seems to have better reception than my friend's T-Mobile Motorola V300.

Great reception, even inside my office (internal room, no windows). Only had a problem once, but calling T-Mobile revealed that they were doing repairs on the cell tower.

Lived here three years and still the reception is very bad. Helped when I switched phones (I had a Motorola and people couldn't hear me), but reception is not perfect nor where it should be.

My reception stinks in my neighborhood in South Boston. Lots of dropped calls.
