I am on the top floor of an apartment and have to stand on my balcony to get clear reception. Occasionally I'll see full signal but it disappears as soon as it shows up. At least I avoided the $400 iPhone temptation and went with the free Nokia. I'll eventually have to get a land / cable line if service doesn't improve. That's cheaper than falling on the sword and switching carriers.
Usually don't have any reception issues here. Sometimes I get voice mails and txt messages after a long delay, but that's probably due to my phone or their network as opposed to signal strength.
Great reception BUT Do not use this cell phone company unless you are residing in Eastern NC! I just moved and am facing staggering bills upwards of $400 when I only used to pay $65 a month due to the use of "other cell towers, which cause a huge fee to US Cellular." Then I was told I breached my contract by moving away from Eastern NC. I am looking for a carrier here but looks like no one is happy. Does anyone have any good reccomendations???
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.
AT&T is not THAT bad, but it is not great either. The phone itself and service plan are simply OK, but I am also looking at staggering bills and lost signals. The bottom line: I'm looking for another carrier... are you?
Cingular / AT&T is the worst. The reception all over Charlotte is spotty. I have called them several times. I'm just going to switch. I'm even cancelling my home phone with Bellsouth because they are all the same company now.
