I get terrible reception inside my apartment. I have to stand outside to talk on the phone or I drop calls after a minute of talk time or so.

Have had excellent reception all over Chapel Hill / Carrboro, particularly on campus and in apartments at west end of Franklin St. + on Bolinwood Dr.

I have no problem with my phone in Carrboro, or Durham. Only spot I have trouble with is on Franklin St.in Chapel Hill some blocks have bad reception

Using Sony Ericsson T610 GSM phone from inside my apartment I get a weak signal and sometimes I get bumped to Cingular (which is good). AT&T Wireless has told me that they currently (Sept. 2003) have an agreement with Cingular network for NC and SC so it doesn't count as off network.

I switched from T-Mobile to Sprint for the great packages, however the reception I get on the fancy smartphone I got with Sprint does not stack up to the reception I got with my clunky old Nokia with Tmobile. I guess this is the way things are built nowadays?

No Sprint service at all here. Coverage map says there's excellent service, but Sprint tech support admits it's roaming in all of Carrboro. I have to drive into Chapel Hill to make a call. This is ridiculous... The people at the Sprint store told me the town won't allow towers to be built here. I think it's time for Carrboro to step into the modern era of communication and put the hippy BS behind them.

Sprint service roams throughout Chapel Hill and Carrboro. I get no reception at my house and am forced to pay the extra $40-50 per month for the Unlimited Plan which covers roaming mobile-to-mobile calls. The people at the Sprint store on Mt. Moriah will tell you that there's excellent coverage according to the map, but that's not true. I called tech support and they told me that Sprint is roaming in most of the area...

I've never had problems with Verizon reception before, and have lived all over the east coast and in WI. Here I get constant complaints that I can't be heard, and calls drop randomly all the time. This happens mainly inside my apartment but it is noticeably fuzzier as I go from Durham (where I work) to Chapel Hill, and then even worse as I get to Carrboro.

I just moved from Ohio to Chapel Hill, I never had any issues with service with Verizon before. Now that I have moved my Driod, is just a large paper wieght. I can no longer use GPS, or a majority of my online apps. I will try and contact Verizon and let them know about the situation. But from what I am reading this will not help.

Reception comes and goes. Verizon tells me they only guarantee reception outside my house. Outside I get it about 75%. Inside about 50% of time. Why the shortage of towers here?
