As of Dec. 19, my signal qualityon all three LG VX 5200 phones has fallen off a cliff. Zero or 1 bar, dropped calls. Verizon says that it is a "known" problem (too many users and too few towers) but that there are NO plans to fix it. I am ticked off as I just renewed my two year contract in Sept. after getting good service the previous two years.

Very variable - some days 3-4 bars, some days none. Many dropped calls, even with 4 bars.

Very little coverage in St. Louis Park neighborhoods. Sprint told me they do not guarantee service indoors. VM taked up to three days to appear on phone.

No reception to speak of with Cingular. I get one bar if I'm lucky. My girlfriend has T-Mobile and has never had a drop-out. I would highly recommend against using Cingular in this neighborhood... As soon as my contract ends I'm going to T-Mobile.

Absolutely no signal in most of the places inside the building. 1 or 2 bar close to the wall, 3 bar by the window and outside. Total Waste. Verizon has 5 bars even inside the building

Worst cell phone service provider. I drop 80% of the calls I make, and often can't make / receive calls at all. Customer service is terrible as well. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH NEXTEL!

People who use Cingular have little to no reception in my building, regardless of the phone type. My co-workers have every other service and none of them have problems (they can even use their phones in the elevators). I am required to put my head against the window in order to make calls with Cingular GSM.

Sometimes I can get a signal in the house, sometimes not. It's a 50 / 50 chance the phone will ring when in my house. There seems to be a radius of several blocks with very weak signal.

Good signal out and in the house. Signal decreases some while in the basement, but still better that 50%.

great reception with Verizon, Sprint was garbage!
