I live in a little dip can only get 1 to 2 bars and will get dropped calls. Verison told me I would have bad reception because I live in a wooden house and the leaves are out. I had 2 1 / 2 on my contract, which should have meant that I could cancel my contract. I did cancel after 15 calls and alot of trips to store on Berry road. They gave me nothing but trouble. I asked for the manager he or she refused to talk to meet. I do not recommend Verison for any reason.

We just moved into a house a block off this intersection and apparently there is "fair" signal stength here... which means if you want to use your cell phone as a house phone your out of luck. The phone can be sitting on our kitchen table and keep beeping due to loss of signal. After wasting a few hours of my life explaining this to over a dozen people claiming to work in Nextel customer care, I was finally told that the only way to terminate service early and avoid a fee was to have a 5% or more dropped call ratio. I had only made it to 4.1%. They actually wanted to give me more useless minutes.

Great Reception in this area with no dropped calls - indoors and out.

I bought this new phone a couple of months ago. The phone works fine in the city where I work (St. Joseph), but it's useless in my home off of Barry Road. I'm at the begining of the 2 year contract, OUCH.

I live a little bit NW of this intersection, and have no problems making or getting calls at home. Have also had good service in most of KC area, w. only a couple of dropped calls in Lenexa area, using this and previous Motorola V710.

TERRIBLE! We drop nearly every call we get and can't talk in our house... horrible.

Perfect everywhere in KC but is not in the US cellular coverage area. Never had a dropped call anywhere in the US and have had for a year and a half.

Great reception everywhere in Kansas City except in my appartment building at the above intersection. I constantly get dropped calls unless I sit in the middle of the appartment and don't move while I'm talking. I've been very happy with Verizon otherwise but I'm really getting sick of having bad reception at home

Poor service both in and outside of my home. Zero to two bars. It's very hard to have a conversation without it breaking up.

Better off with tin cans and a string. After going through a ton of phones, finally found the Sony that would at least maintain a connection up and down Waukomis, although it is barely useable. Cingular's Northland coverage is TERRIBLE and customer service is the worse I've ever seen (and that's AFTER you finally talk to them). There is a new tower going up at Barry Rd, east of Green Hills but I don't know whose it is. Looks like Cingular, but don't know how to find out.

If your standing still and in certain key places in Kansas City you can get 4 out of 5 bars. You're guaranteed to drop calls a few times if you decide to drive around with it. Calls from my work place down at 104 and Holmes get 0 to 2 bars out of 5.

For the past year, reception has been very good. Not as good as Sprint's superior PCS coverage in this area, but still good. But for the past month reception has been awful. Most calls get dropped, all calls suffer from dropouts and dead air, intermittent connection. Cingular's website is geared towards selling you more junk instead of helping you solve your problems. Their website's customer support consists of info you can already get from your manual. And calling them is difficult when you can only hear every other word on your phone.

I used to use Tracfone and never had a problem. I switched to Virgin Mobile. What a disaster! I started with the Kyocera K9. Reception was awful. I thought it was the phone. I'd used Nokia and had great luck with Tracfone. So I purchased the Nokia Shorty. Reception improved, but it's still terrible. I can't get access in a quarter of the places I did with Tracfone and it drops calls constantly. They nag-nag-nag with contests and other junk rather than improve the service. The phone doesn't even display what time or amount is left, something I find indispensible, and they charge for any calls to find out the balance after 2 on a given day. They're cheaper than what I was paying, which was my goal. But it's not worth saving a couple of bucks a month if I can't even talk to anybody. NET10 here I come!

No dropped calls, good reception even in basements.

ofen dropped just before hwy 210 great customer service

Great reception at home, around town, and across the country; no dropped calls. Thinking about switching due to customer service issues.

I live in the neighborhood here and get perfect reception through T-Mobile. I'm getting ready to move though, and am rather scared because their coverage map looks to have little to no reception in my new neighborhood, and I signed up for a year only about 4 months ago.

WORST customer service I have ever encountered. I "upgraded" phones and in exchange for a $150 rebate that never came am stuck with the "hometown carrier" for 2 more years. I spent hours on the phone with worthless representatives trying to explian that I was owed money only to find out it was their fault the rebate was never issued... they offered me a $5 discount on my next monthes bill then tried to sell me another line of service... no wonder you are losing money.

Best I can get is 4 bars but the reception changes so rapidly that it can be 4 bars one sec and drop the call the next.

Usually get perfect reception... but it occasionally drops to 4 out of 7 bars.
