Just an amazing network AT&T operates here. 3G speeds are mind blowing with the new enhanced 7.2mbps technology here, coverage is superb (there are a few areas, but all carriers have the same issue) They recently added 6 new cites and 150 T1's for an even better upgrade (DEC 19, 2009) Good job AT&T, I look forward to your future coverage.

I am a convert back to T-Mobile after a year of not being able to converse in a coherent manner, and with the fluctuating signal of Verizon. Seriously, have you heard to ring sound on an outgoing call, or music on hold with V?! Way too overly digitised. Anyway, Thrilled with T-Mobile in the Triad. Full signal almost everywhere and 3G which is ACTUALLY 3G. Not some crappy 10 years-ago non-simultaneous voice slow connection. I can actually tether my phone to my mac and get >2Mbps around town. Sold! T-Mo FTW!

I very rarely have any reception problems. I am a service tech and I drive all over the triad. I actually live in a little city south of Greensboro, and get great reception in my house and pretty much anywhere I go. I think Sprint gets a bad rep because they weren't any good back in the day but no problems at all. The phone has a lot to do with reception too so review the phone before you buy.

I have been very satisfied with Alltel's reception. I always seem to have great reception, even when friends on other networks have none; and they allow you to change your plan without signing a new contract. That is nice to know - if your useage suddenly increases or decreases (in my case it was a new job). I would definitely recommend Alltel to any one in the Greensboro area.

Great inside. Great outside. I'm constantly tempted by Cingular phones... until my friends on Cingular ask to borrow mine. Have never had a dropped call in the GSO area. There is an odd spot where business 40 and regular 40 split westbound. Don't drop calls but lose quality big time for about 30 seconds. No big deal.

Cingular Defintely the best out there,I had all of them and they where horrible. Cingular has the best plans with rollover, and the best phones, like the razr. Great Service.

Really I have SunCom now, but its still using Cingular systems cause they are in cahouts together Ive never had any other service provider (except AT&T, and the whole Cingular / Suncom deal), but all my friends have verizon, sprint, and alltel. Comparatively speaking, I grab my friends cell phone, look at how many bars he has 3 / 6 on Alltel, grab my other friends phone 4 / 6 on Verizon, and I look at mine and I have 6 / 6 almost all the time. The reason is Cingular uses the new GSM cell phone standard, which travels farther with better signal strength, while Alltel and Verizon are still using the CDMA / TDMA cell phone standard that has been around since cell phones were first invented. High speed data network with Cingular / Suncom too Id say definately Cingular / Suncom for Greensboro

Cingular has great reception in the Greensboro area. If you live there you should get it.

I have been thru six different cell phone services and about a dozen different phones. Without a doubt Verizon is the best. The Motorola 270C is a tri-mode CDMA phone, and offers coverage in areas where the LG phones have none at all. This is a discontinued phone with speaker phone and vibrate selections. It matched with Verizon service gives 100% dependable service in the triad area. If you are unable to find a Motorola 270C phone, I suggest the Nokia 6015i. This is a dependable phone and it works well in marginal reception areas, however not as good as the 270C. Forget anything made by LG or Audiovox if you need good, dependable phone service.

Coming from Sprint which had no bars, Cingular has almost full bars in my apartment and everywhere else.
