I work out in St. Charles drive all of the greater St. Louis area and haven't had a dropped call since I moved to St. Louis (last March). Usually drive 40 / 64 to 170 to 70 or just 70 all the way. My favorite part about my service with U.S. Cellular is that I can use it in the underground garage of my loft building and on the elevator.
I have rarely if ever dropped calls with US cellular. I usually maintain 4 bars or better no matter where i'm at. I can make calls anywhere in my office (where other can't). I get reception anywhere in the St. Louis area and haven't come across any dead spots. I switched from CIngular (now ATT) and had problems everywhere. I couldn't talk in my house and had to be standing by a window in my office to get spotty reception.
This teeters between average and below average. I mostly get 2-3 signal bars on my phone. An occasional dropped call as well. It could be our building though, I don't get nearly as many dropped calls outside eventhough I don't get any more bars of service. At home, great coverage.
For having "the fewest dropped calls" Cingular / AT&T is absolutely horrible in St. Louis. On UMSL Campus I can hardly hold a conversation on my phone without breaking up and / or being dropped. Pretty sad since i'm in city limits! Get better reception out in the boonies about an hour north of the city! would not recommend for use in St. Louis city
One to zero bars at work. Even outside in the parkinglot I'm often without a signal. This is in a major metorpolitan area near an airport where everyone but Sprint and Nextel users get plenty of signal. Traveling on vacation along major highways where there should be good coverage, had poor reception and many dropped calls. My contract can't end soon enough.
Coverage is slightly better than Sprint, but still not very good. If you walk outside to make a call you can usually get between 2 and 4 bars within the Crystal Lake Park municipality, indoors it varies from 0 to 3 bars depending upon elevation (upstairs or down) and obstructions (how far into the interior of the house you are). It is definitely not "reliable" coverage, but AT&T / Cingular seems to be *slightly* better than Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
