Many areas of Union County have 0-1 bar. The service floats in and out unless you are in Monroe where even there it varies at times. Now that Alltel is part of verizon, many of the Alltel users are now having similar problems. Verizon swears up and down "there is no problem".
Calls are usually okay but dropped calls and garbled voice are becoming more common. Have contacted T-Mo support and apparently I am roaming on Suncom towers. GPRS and EDGE speeds can be painful at times but wi-fi is a solution. I get better signal on ATT when using my Razr so thinking about making the switch. T-mo has better rates so it comes down to which is more important. Signal or lower monthly bill.
Called Verizon and told them about poor reception. Advised to update software by dialing *228. No improvement. Reception was ok in 2004 and has steadily worsened. Cannot take calls from home on my cell at all and I need cell for work! Verizon support is no help. Looking to change carriers if I can find something better. We're not in the backwoods--just 17 miles from Charlotte!
While at home, cell phone reception is missing or poor at best. I must drive 1 / 2 away from home to get reception. I live in a lower elevation which I suspect is the cause for the lack of signal. I do not have a problem receiving the local AM station on my land line! Great phone service from Verizon - wired and cell.
I have been with Cingular for about 3-1 / 2 years. The first three years I had very little problems. Now I drop at least 75% of my calls regardless of where I am. Cingular sent me a new phone; no better. If Cingular can't give me good service I am thinking of stopping paying my bills. Getting into their pockets seems to be the only thing that these people understand. Nice on the phone, but service with the phone still SUCKS!
I get excellent service in Union county, Indoors and outdoors, I see other complaining about service, I would check my prl before I complain.my prl is 10029. I've been with Sprint since 97, been in the union county area since 1999, very few issues with my service in that time period
