Guess there must be a tower close by?

To many people, to few towers.

Verizon should put some equipment on the old Qwest site located on the Robbinsdale School District building!

Can't use phone in Cub Foods! Makes it hard to shop when you have questions.

Wish VZW would use the Qwest least on the water tower in downtown Robbinsdale!

Using the Motorola v60, 720 and sierra wireless aircard I had very poor useage of my phone. I have been using celluar since 1993 starting with US West cellular, moving to cellular one than back to US West cellular and finally with Verizon when they bought US West. found customer service to be very crappy, when I called US West people very insulting didn't change with verizon, sales and advertising lie. Verizon never changed it plus digital reception and transmission just plain BAD compared to analog. No power or battery life. I just use digital cause its cheaper. Finally dropped Verizon completely about 2 years ago. Went with t-mobile. still digital but been around longer. Have to see how it goes.

I got from 0-5 bars of signal and had absolutely no problems using my phone outside. In some businesses there is interference from the building strucures but very little. Would recommend T-Mobile and the T610 very much.

Absolutely horrible reception here. I switched from Sprint to Verizon. With Sprint I had great reception all the time but now with Verizon I continually get dropped calls and I've yet to make a call without words getting dropped here and there.

Most of Kenwood neighborhood has poor reception, phone does not even reliably ring when standing outside. Large area bounded by Mt Curve, Hennepin and Cedar Lake is bad (not sure how far south). Verizon has checked (very reluctantly) and reports their equipment if fine, there is nothing more they can do. We have 5 differnt cell phones, all have same reception. I'm looking for a repeater / booster for my house.

You would think that a major carrier like Verizon would have good signal the whole length of a major interstate like 494... sadly... no such luck. Verizon is turning out to be worse that most of the carriers I've dealt with. So dissapointed.

No reception; a year of promises from AT&T Wireless and now Cingular Wireless, but my phone will not ring or hold a randomly available meagre signal long enough to place a call; callers to me get clicks, one in three times they get my voicemail box; voicemail notification does not work; phone does not ring; cannot make calls; tried new phones (tri-band LG and Samsung); no better; why pay $100 a month for a product that does not work; hours and hours on the phone with customer support; NO HELP; Cingular is AWFUL, snake-oil; paid the $200 to get out of contract.

U of M Eastbank campus: - In the EE / CS building, I get no service. - In the Mechanical Engineering, I get 0-1 bars, where 0 bars is different than No Service.

Nobody can hear me now! Reception in my home is HORRIBLE! All of my calls drop. I end up not making long distance calls to my loved ones because I have to always use the land line even though I have tons of unused cellular minutes. It makes me so mad.

I can be 2 blocks from home and when I dial I can hear whomever is on the other end but they cant hear me. Passing Unity hospital on University my reception breaks up badly My signal strength LEAPS up and down if I walk even a couple of feet I can be in the middle of Super target and it works and inthe parking lot at work and drop a call I have placed repeated calls to Cingular and I get--were converting the towers - be paitient Your phone is low qaulity - buy this $400 and all your problems will be solved If I am callin gin they tell me to go to store, If I am at a store they tell me to call I am at a loss! I think I will try Verizon net, I was going to try Nextel but with the impending merger with Sprint I am a lttle gunshy

varies from 0-4. All calls get disconnected or are bad quality:(:(:(:(

my phone always cuts out near here for no reason at all

Absolutely terrible reception, many dropped calls, calls that can't go through. Steady decline in service / bars since Cingular bought ATT Wireless. Worst during peak usage time (evenings and weekends). Terrible static. When I call Cingular to complain, they tell me to call back on a landline because they can't hear / understand me since I'm breaking up so badly. Also abysmal customer service.

Very poor call quality. Can usually make and receive calls but most of the time the call cuts in and out. So you usually hear about 1 / 3 of the word and left guessing what was actually said.

I usually get a resonable number of bars in my house, but the quality of the calls is still poor and there are freqent problems with dropped calls and poor signals. My wifes phone seems to have even more problems than mine with call dropping and reception in our house. It seems to me that we had few complaints a year or two ago, but perhaps the traffic on the towers has overwhelmed them?

Verizon coverage is horrible in Minneapolis. 4 out of 5 calls are dropped and if they aren't dropped, the signal is so bad that a conversation is impossible. Similar to others that have posted, I called Verizon and they told me to buy a tri-mode phone. I think I'll be switching to T-Mobile...
