ATT's 3G network is perfect in this area. But Edge is bad, about 1 or 2 bars in this area.

Here is a happy Verizon customer! I had trouble with Cingular in my office in the Renaissance Center, and switched to Verizon two years ago. I am renewing my contract next month.

Never dropped a call since I've had my phone / plan from summer 2000. Works even in my basement where Sprint and T-Mobile don't. I also am able to use it from inside my Dearborn, MI 48124 office building where other carriers had / have trouble. I have a cell phone mainly for emergencies - what's a mobile phone good for if you cannot get a signal? Other than the price, Verizon works for me.

I used to have a lot of dropped calls in my house. But they are all gone ever since I got my 4900 which is widely known as a phone with the best reception. Now that this 4900 is beaten up, its antenna falling off, I don't know what phone to chose any more. Some said the replacement 4920 isn't nearly as good.

Verizon Wireless has never given me a problem! We got away from AT&T before Cingular Ruined them. Billing is a little confusing.

With a perfect signal, I get terrible voice reception. My calls, whether placed or recieved seem to be scrambled. There are at least a dozen people on our floor that have terrible service. If you are downtown and are either ATT or Cingular, you're gambling with your calls. Cingular has shown little to no concern in my numerous efforts to get this resolved. They would rather charge me hundreds of dollars and move me from ATT to Cingular to see if this resolves the problem. Looks like after many years of being a happy ATT customer, I'm headed to Verizon!

In general never had any problems in Metro Detroit area. Few spots where signal strength is weaker but no call drops even in those ares. Works alright in single familyhome basements. Happy with the service for more than a year.

good coverage most of the time. 5 bars in every part of my house. sometimes not as great in big stores like kohls, but I think that might be typical of lots of carriers

No problems unless in a "newer basement". strange I know but this is my experience. I live in a 1972 home in the basement and NEVER have any problems. I switched FROM Verizon for this reason.

I suffered with very poor reception for a couple of years at this location using my Motorola flip phone. Dropouts occurred so often I avoided using it. When I got a Sanyo phone dropouts were eliminated. Lesson? Same service, different brand / model phones have VERY DIFFERENT performance!
