Horrible service downtown St. Louis I get aproximately 2-5 dropped calls a day downtown, especially at my exact location.

This is downtown St. Louis. In buildings near windows getting 1-2 bars at best, and no voice or data signal at all in the interior. Called Verizon a few days ago and no outages they are aware of. This is just normal at this location apparently -- a dead zone. Others with different Verizon phones having similar issues.

Have never dropped a call anywhere in St. Louis. Live downtown and can even talk while I am in my elevator.

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.

Great coverage in the loft district.

I hardly ever have problems anywhere in Saint Louis (or any other city I visit regularly like Detroit, Chicago, Las Cruces). I have only EVER dropped calls in Ladue where all carriers have fewer towers, and in the Lindbergh tunnell under the airport. My business partner is on Cingular and is constantly dropping calls. I think service must have everything to do with the competence of the phone!

Great reception in the downtown STL area.

verizon, good reception-but it should be for a monopoly. is there any service you can get and the company isn't just an evil-dooer with a decider for a ceo?

I get good coverage from my office in Clayton. However, I have gotten poor coverage from my 8th story apt in CWE and my apartment in Lafayette Square. The company has tried numerous software / networks tricks and I just happen they didn't cost me anything. Also, the V400 is a phone with numerous bugs. I only purchased it for GSM because Cingular reps convinced me my service woes were because of my old cell phone model (the first Motorola flip phone, but I forget the model number) I have friends who have had sucess talking freely in both my apartments. They are with T-Mobile and Sprint. Cingular is also on the higher end.

I always have service. Even on the Metro Link I have service and 3G service. Every one looses service except Verizon on there.

Sprint / Samsung combo works great everywhere in Clayton and 40 / 64 corridor except in "dead spot" at I-70 and 40 / 64. Calls always drop there.

The South 40 is like the bermuda triangle of cell phone reception for Cingular and it's annoying as hell. -K. Chopra

I get good reception outside the building, but once I'm inside I barely get any signal. Have had dropped calls. It seems like Cingular doesn't have too good of a service outside the metro limits.

I get 4 bars and the phone still goes to voice mail and then beeps me. I have updated the software but Sprint just says "too bad".

Perfect reception always. CWE clear for both phone and internet.

Perhaps the worst cell phone provider. People can never hear me and dropped calls constantly all over STL.

Reception at my home is spotty, but I rarely have had dropeed calls. Reception on Kingshighway North just off Hwy. 40 untill the hospital zone is passed is notorious for dropped calls almost every single pass.

Sprint not only has poor reception, but poor customer service!

i'm on a 1st floor of a condo unit on west pine i've always had a crystal clear signal with Cingular, 4-5 bars it probably helps that my condo is not made out of a brick, its mostly windows / wood / siding

Reception horrible in 21st floor apartment. Constantly missing and losing calls. Reception fluctuates rapidly between 0-4 bars and going out of service.
