Dead Spot on the main floor of Charlotte Convention Center from Verizon Wireless. You would think they would put in some sort of signal booster for a venue such as this! Especially with the Democratic National Convention coming to town. Come on Verizon, you can do it!

On the main floor of Charlotte Convention Center Verizon has NO OR VERY WEAK COVERAGE! You think they will fix by the DNC?! We participate in a multi day show there every year and it's terrible. Seems they would atleast put in a repeater or something for all their nice customers!

Depending on where I place the device in my condo, I get somewhere between 20% and 60%. 60% is the best reception I've received from the device.

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.

Dilworth, Charlotte, NC 28203 Fri Jul 20, 2007

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.

In my apt. there is dropped calls,the buffering sucks&can't watch videos,tv on my cell,etc... can't play any games or do anything involving downloading including the internet. I currently have a 3g phone and want to upgrade to a 4g but I feel it'll be a waste of money unless I move away. I'm very disappointed because I chose Verizon based on the dead zone commercial I saw being that I knew my area wasn't the best.

I'm warning you - Sprint is HORRIBLE in Charlotte; Signal and Customer Service. I had Sprint when I moved to 28209 5 yrs ago and had no service inside my home. Switched to AT&T and loved it everywhere I travelled (I own a Real Estate company so I'm everywhere). I built a home in 28205 and and switched back to Sprint because they are cheap and now have horrible service again(For some reason it keeps getting worse) and I don't get voicemails until 12-24 hrs later. I tried switching phones and customer service wants to charge me $100 for a 5,000 sq. ft. Booster for the home, but will wave a $6 / mo fee if I sign another 2 yr contract (If that doesn't work and I cancel I'll pay the waived monthly fees). Does this sound fair? I just need a phone that works. Hindsight is 20 / 20. They had horrible customer service 5 yrs ago and when I was signing up 4 mos ago 2 of their customers were complaining and cancelling. However, I wanted to save a couple $$ / mo. and now I have to pay a $200 cancellation fee which is worth it to have a working phone.

Really sucks. Switches between analog and digital, never holding either long enough to generate or complete a call. Even walking outside gives little to no improvement. Elderly parent has a Nokia phone on my contract that is also useless from this location. Hope to God his landline never fails in the event of an emergency.

Lousy reception, quite often phone does not even ring. 1-3 bars, but phone is barely useable for personal use, not useable for conducting business.

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.
