Cellular has very poor reception (searching for signal) when outside driving on a good part of Mid County Hwy. Frequent dropped calls indoors. Get only one bar in the basement and first floors, and 1-2 bars on the second floor. Reception has not improved since the merger with ATT wireless.

Verizon has been awful. Service seldom reaches three bars, and it disappears completely when I go indoors. Now, at this given moment, it appears that the network is down or something... it has been for a few hours. ARGH! Countless dropped calls, many unreceived calls, many unreceived voicemails, and plenty of text messages that aren't received. Verizon is the devil.

In my basement, 1 or 2 bars. Occassionally calls are dropped, but usually am able to make calls ok.

Called Cingular and found out: need to change serttings in my phone from automatic network detection to manual. When searching for available networks in manual mode, select second Cingular network (there will be 2 + one T-mobile), This solves the problem of poor reception. Now I don't have dropped calls or bad quality of sound. I wish I new that before. Hope this helps.

i live on longdraft Right off of clopper road, every since I switched to GSM and Cingular bought AT&T Wireless service has improved, but even on the third floor is get irraic service, dropped calles and messages that arrive hours later or dont arrive at all. calls always drop, other never go through, none of my friends who have every other service provider ever gets service at my house, right as you turn onto my street service fades, the only explanation I can think of is there just isnt any towers within range to cover the gap.

I have to stand in the bathroom on the second floor, to get a single bar of reception. The entire intersection of Muddy Branch / Great Seneca is like this for me.

I have been receiving poor reception for the past month. I will have drop calls, static and the phones will constantly be looking for network service. I will have all the bars when this is happening. I have never had a problem with any other phone services. This is very troublesome since I am locked into a contract and I don't know how I can get out of this. It is not worth having a phone service when the service is not even going to work. This is not only happening in my home area. It was also happening in Deleware and West Virginia.
