tmobile sucks! they are the worst cell phone company for anywhere outside major cities

Actually on TracFone CDMA. Have never seen less than 2 bars (of 3) unless inside my locker at Central High School. Go Trojans! WooT! FU, GSM!

I've had perfect reception on my Noka 6360 all over downtown Duluth and up through all residental streets up through UMD Campus up past Woodland Ave for the past 1.5 years. I get full signal in a basement office down almost under Superior St.! (by Lake Ave.) My previous Sprint service (silver clamshell Motorola) never worked for me downtown Duluth, or up in residental areas above 4th St. 6th Ave. through 21st Ave. E. was unusable. Even replaced phone, to no avail. Cingular service (New ericsson camera phone) for my roommate around 6th Ave. and 4th St. was absolutely garbage (occasional signal, but guaranteed disconnects most of the time).

They bought out Cellular One and I love it. We get Cellular Ones great reception on the newest and best devices! And after reading previous comments they are number 1 in this area. A+++

Lots of hype on the EVDO REVa capabilities. Got it because I wanted to use it as a modem tether to laptop for internet. I thought my first LG Dare was not functioning properly, but now the 2nd does the same- no bars inside with a clear view of the lake. On the lake ice-fishing, I called my neighbor fishing next to me; 1 bar. He said he heard about 1 / 3 of what I said and hung up on me. With a 3 year old phone and ATT service, he gets 4 bars inside my house not near the windows. I am on a 30 day trial period and will probably go back to the store to try another phone; probably not an LG dumb phone. If that does not work, its time to try some other carrier.

From intersection of county roads 44 and 37 to and past Pequaywan Lake to county 16 near Fairbanks no coverage. Occasional one bar settings en route but no service.

I've had good reception almost eveywhere, even while out snowmobiling and four wheeling. I recommend Cell One... wonder how it will be when ATT takes over...

Verizon Wireless - Very expensive for little service or support. Retail level not knowledable on products, they only are about making the service and then like their calls, the service drops

No or very limited reception along Calvary Ave., starting at Woodland Ave. to Howard Gnesen, south on Howard Gnesen Rd. to Arrowhead Rd. A large part of this area is in the city of Duluth.

The Uproar has been outstanding in reception throughout the Northland. I have recently aquired a newer A500, but it dies out in Rice Lake township, as the Samsung remains 3 bars, even on Fish Lake while fishing.
