Beginning 12 / 17 / 11 three cell phones aren't working on Verizon in downtown Apex. Can't hear caller, dropped calls, no ring and right to phone messaging, all happening. Opened ticket with Verizon and she said it does look like a tower issue. Spent 1.5 hours resetting, etc. two of the phones with Verizon level 1 service, even though it clearly wasn't the phones... three different phones on same towner, clearly not a phone issue. Hopefully Verizon will actually fix it soon.

Had really good reception with Verizon until around March of 2011. Now the signal is very poor, and Verizon hasn't corrected the problem. We will have to look for other alternatives.

Just terrible. Checked with other Verizon users and we all have the same problem. Don't know if Verizon is working on it but I am now looking at other providers.

Very poor reception almost none. Need a signal booster. Don't know what to get.

Poor reception south of Olive Chapel Rd and West of Kelly Rd.

I live in Apex, NC. Can't use phone inside home and lousy reception in yard. My neighbor is with Verizon too and they can't use their phones. My phone is less than a year old and stuck with a 2 year contract. $48.00 down the drain monthly.

In the winter I get 1 bar and can actually carry on a conversation from my home on New Yarmouth Way. In the summer when the trees fill out, I get no coverage to 1 bar. I get equally bad results at our neighborhood pool and at Dream Sports where my kids play hockey. Verizon seems to think it's something wrong with my phone but I've installed the latest updates and several others I know with Verizon have the same issues. My contract is up this week... think I'll be switching to Suncom / T-Mobile. According to their maps in-store I'll have great coverage, plus T-Mobile is supposed to be adding 400 towers / cell sites in the area within the year.

Anywhere from Averroe Dr. south in Greenbrier SD get max of 2-bars. Have same issue with Alltel on a LG ax5000 and had same issue on Verizon with a vx3200 before I dropped their service 2+ years ago.

Little to no reception any time of day - thought it was my house, but even walking around the block there is no signal. All my friends with Verizon have the same problem - others with other carriers don't (at least not here :). Bought the phone with the best signal reception at the time - no help.

Got new phones - took them home - no signal - a big hassle to take them back

Usually I can hear every other word when I am on the phone. The other person can hear me fine.

Even after Verizon "tuned" to closest tower no change. We are on high point with line of sight. Any reception can only be measured nanoseconds. Carrier pigeons would be a vast improvement to this abuse. The value of Veizon's service is largely exceeded by the cost.

In most of this area of apex my phone service is at best poor and my wife's older phone is about useless.

Very rarely have reception problems anywhere in the Triangle.
