Coverage is spotty. Some days it's just fine, others I"m running in and out of the house trying to get a better signal.

Service is worse since ATT took over Cingular. 3G is terrible! I usually have 1, sometimes 2 bars on Notchview Ct. Inside house - service is unreliable. The line of terrain all the way down the creek to McMullen Creek is a dead zone. The worst is if you have 1 bar of 3G and try to make a call... Probably will drop in transition to Edge. 2 years ago I had 2 bars - reliable service. Something stinks with the new management.

Absolutely the worst service I have ever had in over 10 years!

I have never been in a place that has 0 bar! AT&T should get sued for advertising that they have more bars than any other provider. Alltel has great reception in the same apartment.

never have reception problems at home in Ballantyne area. There are only about 3 areas in Charlotte that I ALWAYS lose connection - that are very consistent locations (one spot on Morehead by downtown, one spot on Sharron Rd close to Wendover). I don't like the fact that I may not get a text or voice msg for 30 minutes approx after the sender sends it to me. My biggest complaint is I go ZERO service up in the Mountains - Roan Mountains / spruce pine / Bakersville / Little switerland - and we go there every weekend, so I can't ever use my cell on the weekends up there (it's just worthless). Wish they do something about that. As I am a 24 / 7 hour IT professional the cell phone service is mandatory for me. In Charlotte it works 95% great, in the mountains 0%. But my boyfriend gets service from his Sprint cell in the mountains.

Cingular coverage in this city is ridiculously horrible. Dropped calls continously. Anyone moving to Charlotte should plan on changing cellular service or deal with the constant frustration.

I have been with Nextel for over 7 years now, and I have to be honest, even after Sprint bought them I thought about giving them up, but I have never found another cell phone service in all of Charlotte with the solid call quality and healthy coverage as Nextel has. Yes, you do give up having service in the most rural of places since their phones don't roam, but for all my travels around Charlotte, I am extremely pleased with the sound quality and never drop calls. Also, I am sure if you are a "sexy phone" user, then you might not like the larger phones that lack steaming video and such, but if you just want a damn good cell phone that works, you should consider it.

Reception totally sucks. Where's the network? Verizon could care less. Anyone for a class action suit, the service doesn't live up to the ads. No good at all inside house, very marginal outside.

THE WORST! Tin cans with a string would probably be a better choice. Tried different phones, always getting the same miserable reception, if at all. Voice mails arrive 2-3 days late. My contract with Verizon ends August 7th, 2008. It will be a day of celebration!

AT$T is doing nothing to fix this problem. I've been suffering this"pain" 4 years. They say I'd try to switch a new cell phone. I did. IT's still the same. AT$T sucks!
