Older model Motorola phone used almost exclusively for voice and and some text with a prepaid plan. Had Alltel prepaid plan before Verizon took over as the current provider. Wish I had Alltel back because verizon's prepaid plan choices are more expensive than the Alltel prepaid plan choices. Consistently get good reception with Verizon using this cdma phone. voice reception is clear and I consistently get 4 bars of reception indoors. Would consider switching to another provider and a smartphone if any carriers provided good / average signal and reasonable prices in this area. Until that happens, I will stick with the basic phone and verizon's cdma service.

verizon sucks. only have 1 bar in a city like durham. its rediculous.

can't really make a call. it sucks.

Good on Gleen rd (intersection of Glenn School rd / ) but can be spotty as I head toward Hamlin rd area. Good in my home. No problems there. On old Oxford Hwy. my reception cuts out and drops calls as I turn onto Snow Hill Rd. Then picks back up on Latta Rd. )Northern Durham

Coverage is awful. I can't even send texts... my girlfriend couldn't get my responses so she dumped me.... haha no, not really, but I truly can't respond to texts because the signal is so bad and yes, this truly is a problem with my girlfriend. No good, AT&T.

Most places I get reasonable reception. Poor at home but perfect after they sent me a free Air-rave after complaining.

No reception on the first floor of my house. 1-2 bars in neighborhood, generally.

On the first floor of my house, there's not enough reception to make a call. Upstairs, I can sometimes talk for 20 minutes or so before the call gets disconnected. However, even upstairs, I often have the signal fade before the phone has even finished ringing. Verizon is truly awful in Durham.

I use the Sprint network and I haven't had any reception in my home in 2 days.

Weak and inconsistent signal strength inside my house in the Bradbury subdivision off of Lumley Rd. One minute it is fine and next minute, call is dropped. Cannot depend on the phone for work. Also poor signal strength in Whole Foods on Broad St. in Durham, and in Earth Fare and Target in the Brier Creek shopping center. I do not recommend AT&T!

I used to have decent AT&T reception in my home but something switched within the last two weeks and I can't get any reception on my blackberry. This is jeopardizing my ability to work from home because I have alot of meetings on my blackberry. I'm in a panic because I'm under contract through work. I wish I knew what AT&T did because something drastically changed and it's very frustrating

No reception at all in or around apt. bldg. According to T-Mobile customer service there should be 3 bars, but I got nothing inside or out. Had to change carriers.

Terrible reception in the house. Connections are dropped and conversations are nearly impossible. Can get some reception on the corner of the bed if I sit up straight. I have to go out on our deck to have a clear signal.

Excellent coverage in this location, 4 bars 1X and 3G. Big improvement over what I had in Carrboro.

AT&T Wireless stinks in my area. I often cannot get any signal in my house, and there are several large "dead zones" nearby, along MLK Jr. Pkwy, along, Garret Rd., along Hope Valley Rd., Academy, you name it. I'm consideriung swtiching to either Verizon or T-Mobile. Can anyone make a detailed and coherent recommendation? Oh, does the actual phoine make a difference in the signal power? I have a Nokia RH-74, which came with the old Cingular plan, but I submersed it in a cup of water a few years ago. I dried it out thoroughly, and it now works, but it's a big, heavy phone and I never could figyure out how to use the phone book features. Ridiculously complicated. Thanks.

Spotty in the house, outside the house -- doesn't matter where I go.

Poor reception everywhere in house. Occ. good reception in middle of driveway. Calls routinely go directly to voice mail without phone ringing and then show in my in-box days to weeks later.

Occasionally 1 bar if I get on house roof. Had to purchase AT&T microcell to be able to use phone inside. Large signal hole along much of Whitfield.

Service has gone downhill since AT&T bought Cingular. More frequent outages, voice mail is a joke - messages often delivered days / weeks later (in one case 3 months late).

In my house: downstairs you can run or hide, don't matter, you lose the signal! upstairs, I have a bar, still calls go to the mailbox, or I lose connection after waiting one hour on hold: operator comes up, and boom! signal is lost, lost! Hey big fat-cats AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and the likes: Stop paying ads every six seconds AT MY COST, and start doing something about your TOWERS and equipment! Your empty SLOGAN: 'More Bars" is full of BS! Or you'll end up being competed and replaced by Koreans or the Chinese, you nitwits!...
