Although the Cingular map shows all of KC as great reception, I think the Verizon map is more accurate (but for Cingular!). It shows a drop in service at about 80th and Main, and that's where I get interference or dropped calls.
I live in this area on top of a hill, and seldom get more than 1 or 2 bars and frequently drop calls when signal is lost totally. Reception inside my home is even worse, and I usually miss calls totally because they do not ring through. Surprising since this is such a busy area.
Mine and my wife's Sprint PCS phones ALWAYS drop the call every time we get off I-35 north at the Chouteau Trfcwy exit. As soon as you get to the stoplight at the bottom of the exit ramp, your call will drop.
there is alot of people that go through this road,and there about widen this stretch of lanes to two lanes. and I live in this area, and the sprints reception is no that good.
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.
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.
