Most calls dropped unless you find a sweet spot. Texts go through about 80% of the time though.

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.

For the love of god don't even consider Verizon here. ANYWHERE around here. Moved from NY (great coverage) and kept verizon. Typically I get 1 to 2 bars of service anywhere: more often one. Sometimes I will have no service at all. The only place you get service is Durham or Cary near the malls because they put up a cheesy tower to make you think Verizon gets good coverage when they sell you the phone. Dr.a few miles away and coverage drops off to nothing. Very hard to understand anyone. (Especially frustrating when trying to do anything from order pizza to call tech support) But just HOW frustrating is it? I'm currently saving to pony up the money for early termination of my contract and investing in a new company, if that'a nay help.

Once again, Verizon is awful here. What are we to do?

Always dropping calls, even from parking lot.

I get clear calls with no interruptions or drops.

The signal is excellent in my apartment and around Carrboro and Chapel Hill areas. Virgin Mobile is the top prepaid wireless service according to JD Power and Associates.

0-1 bar for Verizon but 4 or 5 bars for Extended Network (Alltell). The problem is that the phone is always trying to search for a Verizon signal. I have to turn my phone off and on till it goes into Extended Network to make a clear call. Verizon works everywhere around town but my black hole of a complex. AT&T doesn't work either. Sprint slightly better.

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
