Switched from Alltel to Verizon and we are going back to Alltel. Verizon was horrible for dropping calls. It was impossible to carry on a conversation with anyone on Concord-Salisbury Rd.and in Mt. Holly where my husband works.

Verizon receciption from Mt. Pleasant to Irish Potato is terrible, poor to no reception My phone is not usable and Verizon doesn't seem to be making any improvements. I think I will switch to Alltel when my contract it up.

spotty reception along Branchview Dr. from NC 73 until Burrage Rd. Overpass

Location down a hill on at least 3 sides; very low signal and reception poor. Others have same problem. Can't use phone in the house at all.

I've been a Nextel customer since 1996. Usually good reception until... the merger with Sprint! Two out of every five calls get dropped. No compensation. No reception inside Central Cabarrus.

Nextel's reception gets worse and worse. I switched phones to see if it got better, but that didn't happen. I have no service inside my home, and none in buildings. If the Nextel 500 race is in town, you can forget having service altogether. Many dropped calls (although Nextel says they can monitor the dropped ones: mysteriously, the drop percentage is always within their margin of error, imagine that!) To add insult to injury, it is $200 per phone to get out of the contract. They won't even credit for the dropped calls, or the times without service. I may bite the bullet and pay $400 just to be rid of Nextel for good.

I switched from Sprint to Cingular. I can actually use my phone inside of buildings now (the mall, wal-mart, Food Lion), where I could not with Sprint in this area. I also drive in the country alot and I was allway "roaming" with Sprint, now I get a very good signal with Cingular. I am pleased so far.

Very good reception around Central Cabarrus High School. I drive to south Charlotte for work and excellent reception the whole way except around UNCC, but calls never drop. Contrast that with my previous provider, Verizon, where 50% of my calls would drop especially at my house. I can even take my Cingular phone in my basement where the bars are low (expected) but the call is clear and does not drop.

Hardly any service at all. dropped calls, text messages won't go through. but unfortunately, it works in Montgomery county where my parents live. And for the record, I don't know any cell service that is perfect in the Mount Gilead Montgomery County area ESPECIALLY from 109 to denton area.

around winecoft school rd and winecoft elementary school, barely one bar, T-Mobile signal fluctuates around concord, around 85 corridor great, in the burbs, not so great. its not just the phone, I also had a blackberry curve 8320 and switched because of bad signal, now with the Samsung behold 1 EVEN WORSE..in my apartment, signal is zero ( SOS)..$150 a month for what? I guess ill go ahead and order landline service. urgh
