Verizon 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: LG VX4400	110th Lane NW, Minneapolis, MN 55448	Tue May 30, 2006
Verizon 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: LG VX4400	I only get 1 bar inside my house and 2-3 bars outside. The calls are very garbled. Very unsatisfied at this location. I have been a Verizon customer for years. This is the worst location by far I have experienced.

Sprint 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Palm Treo 650 (CDMA)	Hennepin / Washington, Minneapolis, MN 55401	Fri May 26, 2006
Sprint 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Palm Treo 650 (CDMA)	Sprint does not have good service in Northeast Minneapolis. Sitting at my desk, my phone would go from 2 bars to suddenly dropped call all the time. Then when I call back a second time, I can be on the phone without it dropping again. More recently, I've found that sitting at the same place, that my phone can't even make an outgoing call as it could before. It will read "dialing" and finally just quit.

Sprint 3 Out of 5	35th St. / Vincent Ave.N, Minneapolis, MN 55412	Mon May 22, 2006
Sprint 3 Out of 5	Works as our primary phones (no land line) - good reception overall. Great reception downtown. Can't complain overall.

T-Mobile 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: T-Mobile MDA	Dropping call all the time

AT&T 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola RAZR V3	55th Ave.And Vinewood LN / Northwest Blvd.Or CR 62, Minneapolis, MN 55442	Thu May 18, 2006
AT&T 2 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola RAZR V3	Switched from Sprint, I get 2 to 3 bars at home and in some corners 1 or no Bar. I get dropped calls frequently if I am the move in the house. This may sound weired to some people that on a cloudy day or in a bad weather I only get one or none bars in the house. I work in Downtown and I always have full bars there. I drive around a lot and there are pockets where I do not get any signal at all in the metro area. The only reason why I went with Cingular is that they had rollover minutes and a majority of my friends have Cingular as well. By the way some people say that Razor does not have a good receptions either and it drops call due to technical issues with this model. Message to Cingular: it is about time to really raise those bars now as you keep saying. If you had you guys for more than a year and trust me I am not going to renew the contract again.

AT&T 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Palm Treo 650 (GSM)	98th St. / Xerxes Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55431	Thu May 18, 2006
AT&T 1 Out of 5 Phone Model: Palm Treo 650 (GSM)	Very poor reception (0-2 bars). Call will likely drop if I walk around the house. Poor outside also. Can't believe how much cellular companies charge for such a poorly performing product! The engineering professoin should be ashamed! Time for something new!

AT&T 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola RAZR V3	Auto Club Rd. / Normandale, Minneapolis, MN 55437	Wed May 17, 2006
AT&T 4 Out of 5 Phone Model: Motorola RAZR V3	I changed from Sprint to Cingular, GSM because of poor reception from Sprint at home, zip code 55437 and at our cabin at zip code 55709, Bovey MN. Cingular works great at both locations. Just wanted everyone to know.

Sprint 1 Out of 5	West Bloomington, Minneapolis, MN 55438	Thu Apr 27, 2006
Sprint 1 Out of 5	Doesn't seem to matter where I am in the Twin Cities... very poor reception!
