Have had good receprion for at least 2 years

Sorry about the way my prior post ended. I'm not good at typing on my iPad as it is very touchy and seem to hit the send button often in the middle of whatever. Anyways back to the sleaze bag carriers, we all need to address the issue with our State Representatives and the Attorney General. What they are doing is simply not acceptable and they need to be held accountable. I depend on my phone as a direct line for my business, getting flack from clients and the possibility of losing clients because I can't cary on a conversation to do business is horrifying to say the least. So I ask do you think I'm right? If so please join me in asking all your friends, family and neighbors to file complaints with the State Reps and Attorney General because the carriers are deaf, stupid and about to have their little scheme backfire.

I'm glad I stumbled upon this site as I am or was (now undecided) going to switch from AT&T to Verizon because like all of the post since May of this year I have next to no reception in my house. In the few micro spots within the house where I can get a bar or two that fluctuates continuously I can't turn my head without getting dropped. Like all of you I've called to complain and was told it was my phone and everything else but there problem. After reading all the post which basically convey the same issue I think I know what the real problem or in my terms scam is. The problem with reception seemed to happen overnight this past spring, after thinking about it and recalling the first fix the customer support person suggested was to buy their mini cell booster. In my opinion, with this new product which sells for just under $200.00 the carriers have intentionally reduced the signal strength to entice or force being the better word their customers to buy their new product. No one can convince me otherwise. I don't know what we can be done to stop these sleaze bags from what is or should be a criminal act other than to ask you and everyone else to contact our state respresetatives and the do about other than ask all

I have lived in this area for 3 years and have always had issues. The dropped calls have decreased but now I am having issues placing calls at all. I will have three bars and as soon as I hit send they disappear and the call will not connect. There are several areas around here that are absolute dead zones and several areas where I know for sure that I will have bad reception. The poor service in the home is horendous. I should not have to go outside to get reception. I never did in the past so what has changed??? I call Verizon and get the typical run around. I swear they brain wash their reps as to what is "acceptible". If it would not be acceptible to them why should it be to us (customers). All my friends, regardless of carrier, have the same issues.

The situation has essentially degraded from bad to worse over the pas 2 / 3 months. It is usually "No Service" inside the house and probably 1 bar in the neighbourhood. AT&T Sucks!

Verizon used to be good here but for some reason in the last three months I see my bars going up and down wildly and I randomly drop calls. My sister lives in the neighborhood across the street and has Verizon as does my brother. He has to go to the tird floor for reception?? Never had an issue with Alltel or Verizon so it is bizarre. Looking to switch to T-Mobile or ATT. Boost has great plans but the maps for boost and T-Mobile by my house are suspect and my friend has Sprint (which is boost) and she has terrible reception at my house.

The reception is terrible--to the point that it has affected my ability to conduct business at home. I used to at least be able to go out on my balcony (not ideal when school has ended for the day or evening rush hour traffic), but now even that doesn't help. I miss calls frequently so they go straight to voicemail. And even the voicemail messages are garbled. It's not my phone. It's only a year old, a newer model, and I have no issues with it when I'm in other locations in Wake County (except for some dead spots here and there that tend to affect everyone else I know).

Ditto here, have had Verizon for as long as I can remember and this is the first problem to speak of - reception became poor 0-2 bars starting last weekend (May 15) and has not improved

I have been with Alltel / Verizon since 2001 and have never had dropped calls or poor reception. Beginning on Saturday, May 14th and continuing through today, suddenly I have 0 and 1 bars inside my house and around my area. I have 6 phones on my plan and they all have the same problem. Apparently Verizon has changed something, and not for the better. I'm in a heavily populated area, but the reception is like I live out in the sticks. It's terrible. I'm the second person to report this in this area this month. Please call Verizon and complain - I did.

I visit my son in Cary which lives in the The Gables Greystone Development. I have AT&T cell service which the reception there is terrible. Occasionally, I can make or receive calls on my phone when visiting but typically I cannot. If I am able to make a call I'm stuck in the very spot that I was able to receive the initial signal in order to complete the call. AT&T, you need to be concerned not only about the residence that live in this area but also people visiting this area. When my contract is up, if this issue is not corrected, then I will no longer be an AT&T customer.

No reception in house. poor reception outside. Do not receive ring when called. Previous messages come in days late.I plan to change as soon as I find anything better.

Usually have 1-2 bars outside, 0-2 bars inside. Very poor reception and call quality. Yet AT&T still wants more customers and can't provide decent service to its current customers!

Outside we border at poor reception, inside we have none. In order to answer a call from inside, we have to run upstairs and hang out the window. Wish they would add a tower.

Cary Pkwy. near Lake Pines. Very poor coverage, best I can get is 2 bars, but often only one.

On an unusually good day, I can get 2 bars in my house, but typically, I have to go outside to have even halfway decent recption.

Reception is great and haven't dropped a call yet. Just upgraded from the pantech and the difference is like night and day.

I enjoyed adequate coverage - fluctuated 2-4 bars- I could make calls and hear - it was fine. Now though, since around 12 / 14 / 09, AT&T has changed their network coverage- downgraded a cell tower with no ETA- and my area is now a dead zone. This was along with a major network issue that effected multiple states, or so I was told. I received a text message that this has been resolved, but my coverage is worse than ever. I have had 2 trouble tickets in with customer service and will be calling again today. I will be leaving AT&T this week if they do not fix it. My cell phone is my only phone, has been for years. I rely on it for emergency calls too, so this is an urgent matter for me.

Worthless Reception here by Verizon.

I get zero bars in my condo complex. I have talked with others and they have the same problem. ATT needs to put a tower in the area.

Service is horrible to say the least, I bounce between 1 to 5 bars but as soon as I make a phone call it goes down to NO SERVICE. Everyone in the Alexan Panther Creek Apartments has horrible reception with whatever cell service they have. But if AT&T does not shape up and get their sh#* together, they will be losing quite a few customers!
