Coverage is pretty weak. Sometimes as many as 3 bars, but usually 2 or lower. Also, no 3G coverage. Only EDGE. Sometimes your phone will say 3G, but that quickly switches over to EDGE.

Terrible reception. Can barely make calls inside home. Usually have "No Service" message. Zero to one bar outside. Get two bars once I leave the area. Constantly miss calls and receive voicemail hours later. I so hate AT&T, then Cingular and again AT&T. Jerk Rep at Beaver Creek talked me into this phone telling me it had state of the art reception. Went from a two bar old Motorola flip phone to this piece of crap. Pleaded my case to them and they laughed wanted another $100 plus fees to exchange for another phone. I had to obtain a land line so I can make calls. As nice as Apex is, area is lousy for cell reception, takes a really good phone with an exposed antenna.

No signal in our home, even with brand new phone. Minimal coverage outside, but most calls are dropped after a few moments. Worst area for coverage regardless of cellular carrier, all of my neighbors agree. The need more towers out here due to the hills in this area. Last summer our power was out for an extensive amount of time, so was our phones, and our cell phones were of no use to us in the event of an emergency.

You can expect to lose reception 98% of the time when going east and passing the Apex post office on Hwy. 55. Oddly, enough, the phone doesn't drop at the same location when you are headed west.

US 64 To 751 To Durham, Apex, NC 27502 |
Wed Jul 13, 2005 |
Leaving Apex and heading toward Jordan Lake on US 64, I turned toward Durham onto 751. I traveled all the way to Duke campus. While I never lost a signal the reception ranged widely from 1 to 5 bars. I basically watched the signal strength indicator go up and down as I passed near towers an went up and down hills. One nice thing, with the single rate plan there was no roaming. I had a Nokia 2260 (TDMA?) in the car as well and it's reception pattern varied in a pattern disctict from the Motorola v170. It also popped in and out of roaming.
