I have been with Verizon for almost 5 years now and have never been so pleased with not only the signal strength of Verizon, but also their customer service. I have had 2 incidents where I was unable to pay the bill for up to 3 months in the past (about 2 years ago) and even though my phone was shut off, it was quickly turned back on with in a few hours and I was always treated with courtesy. The only gripe I have is their data package is to expensive. Over all this company is great!

Never had ONE reception problem with Verizon. I switched from them to Nextel because after numerous requests to apply our corporate discount to my phone they never did even though they told me it was all done. Nextel is pretty good, but not as good as Verizon when it comes to call quality

I just movved to Midland, Saginaw area of Michigan. Notice they finally have my service up this way. I really like Metro PCS been with them when I lived in Florida, and now that I live here its good. I just hope that now that they have moved up here to Mid-Michigan they remember that there are alot of people who live just outside their major coverage area need cell phones, and cant get great reception even with VZW, and others. IF they add a few more towers around Midland County say, Sanford, Edenville, Hope, and what about Hemlock around Saginaw, and Pinconning around Bay City, they will capture more customers because these folks would actually have a great phone plan and have a phone that works in the country. Alot of folks up this way live in the country and would be going in and out of their service area only by a few miles, and it wouldnt be worth it for them to switch over to metro given they liev just a few miles out of town and cant get ANY cell phone to work barely at all, let alone one that only works a few miles up the road. I just hope they think a little more rural now that they are finally up here. I hope they keep expanding. My reception is good, but I do drive to these places I litsed and notice there is no service. THink outside the box a little and add some towers out and around current major service areas and you will get more subscribers purely on the fact its a great service and you would have a monopoly on the other carriers that dont work out in the country at all or very little, and yous definitely would!

Sprint's customer service is GREAT. I left AT&T / Cingular because I could never get a native speaking North American - always a run around. The Treo 650 is a fine piece of equipment also.

This area specifically has always been plagued with bad reception no matter what the carrier due to the abundance of trees surrounding us and the location of the tower being on the other side of those trees. I've been with Verizon for 7 years and except for the need for better data rates, i'm staying.

Nextel is OK, never had a problem with the 2-way feature, but sometimes when you use it as a normal phone the other persons voice cuts out and you miss a word or too. Could be better.

Not great on Internet access, but tolerable. Calls are awful. Very choppy. Have to find A spot in which I can talk and be understood. Son has Evo on Sprint and no problems. Had Blackberry 9650 on Sprint year before Calls were better but not Internet access.

Almost positive it is the Airport that makes the cell reception so bad around this area. I have had different phones with Verizon over the years. I have to say they are the best reception all of my friends who come over that have other providers complain and get worse reception. Getting a smart phone within the month hope that helps

There are two AT&T customers in this home. One has a Blackberry and one has an HTC. The Blackberry has great reception and the HTC has barely any. Prior to that we had an IPhone that barely recieved reception too.

Reception use to be good indoors where I live. 3-4 bars. Now its usually at 1 and will jump up to 3 and then will go to 0. Has been bad like this for a month now. Have tried 2 different phones. One with a Sprint account and one with virgin mobile (they are the same thing) and have same results. No problem working outside though, has 3 bars.
