sprint in uptown is good reception. can usually even get a signal inside my bldg. home it drops to like 3 bars... and every time a plane flies over my house my calls drop. can be downstairs and get lousy reception... with fading and dead spots in my calls... go upstairs and it is better, but still drops my calls.
Sprint reception in this area is horrible. I cannot have any phone converstations from home, always have to use Landline. Yet, going towards South blvd the reception increases to 4 bars within 4 blocks. Seems like a technical glitch that can be fixed by Sprint it they tried.
Alltel has been great I have no real complaints. The rates are the best! The one thing I notice is I will usually drop a call where Independence meets the Brookshire freeway. When I dial right back the call always goes through so it might be a cell that's not doing a proper hand off.
I commute to Uptown daily via Providence Rd.and there are huge dead spots where I have no bars. My service is fine when I am at home, but there is clearly no cell towers around the corridor to uptown.
The only part of campus where I get any decent cell phone reception is in and around the Cone building to which I must walk when I need a strong connection. I am definitely switching to Verizon or Cingular
I moved from Chgo where reception was great. Here, when I am home it SUCKS! Dropped calls, missed calls and diverted calls. When I called Cingular they said - didn't know what was going on. Tower search says it should be good but... So if this is what the ad means "fewest dropped calls" it should add "with most diverted you'll never get the call".
Cingular cell service in and around the western portion of Charlotte, among every other place I drive is horrible. Consistently get dropped calls and periods no audio and / or broken voices. Pathetic service. On Wilkinson Blvd, Little Rock Rd, Rt 160, Mt Holly Huntersville Rd... Everywhere I have ever been.
