I have used AT&T for some years and I used to hate it for the dropped calls. That has changed in the past 2 years and I haven't had a dropped call anywhere and I travel all over the country. Between Zebulon and Raleigh on 64 or 64 Bus I always have a great signal. The only place I can't get coverage is inside Food Lion - which is fine with me since I hate that store.

Verizon is a joke out here and in Louisburg, and half the places around. Unless you are in downtown Raleigh 24 / 7 / 365 Find a different carrier. They need to stop spending all their money (advertising and paying all those extras that show up to "support your every call:) and actually build some towers and relationships to support those calls. I think regulation should change to require providers that advertise service in an area to provide it or deduct from the monthly bill every dropped, static laden call. The software on the phone could be modified to accomplish that.

Had Alltel service with fair service, but hated their customer service. Changed to Cingular on the promise that their coverage was good and improving in our area. Although Cincular has the best plan for us (family plan) their coverage is poor at best. Will consistently drop calls between home and Raleigh, drop calls around the beltline, and have to go outside to use phone at home. The funny thing is that they still promise service improvements in our area after 3 years. Wish they would spend less money on ads and more on towers.

My reception is excellent almost everywhere I go, I just upgraded to this phone from a Nokia 5185. With that phone I travelled from Zebulon to Northern Michigan and had perfect reception all the way with the exception of when I was driving through the mountains of West Virginia. The only problem I have with Verizon is there choice of tri mode phones, and the fact that they deliberitley have the phone manufactures to disable the data transfer feature so you cannot transfer data from your phone to your pc for those pictures you take on your camera phone without paying them extra money and taking extra time to transfer through thier "special Paid Service."

I can't make calls from my home. I drop calls all over Zebulon and Raleigh. I can't wait to cancel this contract
