Was on AT&T. Had a tower 1 mile away beside our township hall. When Cingular took over they shut down that tower and I went from 5 bars to 1. They shouldn't be allowed to do that! Called customer service several times to complain but all they would say was that they showed that I should have coverage in my area. The fact that my family had 5 Cingular phones with almost no coverage doesn't seem to matter. Now they are the "New" AT&T (lower case, it matters!) but I bet they won't put that tower back in service.

I live in the area that no cell company has very good coverage, AT&T wireless was pretty good, and then Cingular. Currently (8 / 06) Cingular has one of the towers shut down ( suposedly for integration, been 7 wks now) which has killed reception near me. Verizon just put up new site at the County Black Hole, Chilson and Brighton Rd. This is 2006, cell coverage should be much better than it is off the beaten path. If you don't live in the city or travel the eway +- 3 miles either side, cell service is pretty much a crap shoot. Some day some company will get it together.

Works pretty good in Cohoctah. Important because that's where I live. I also use it on the job and have used it all over the greater Detroit area with good success. Many less problems with reception than Nextel, who I was with for 5 years. Still not perfect. I don't think any are if you travel out of the city.

Since they put in the new tower at the township offices reception is great. No sure if all Cingular phones will work great but the Nokia (9835 ?) GSM does.

Cingular is terrible. One minute working great, next minute / second, gone. Dropped calls constantly, no service for hours, this is my primary phone for work and for house... arrrggghhh... who else could I switch to????
