I have had the same ATT phone number for 4 or 5 years since living in California and get great reception in all areas of Omaha I got to including Old Market, midtown, 50th and Q, waaaaay out west, etc. The only place it's not good is if I go to Iowa around Crescent. I wonder why so many people are having such poor coverage? I have an out of state area code, but I don't know why that would make a difference.

Very poor reception here.

Verizon has excellent reception in and around Omaha North High School. Could be because there is a tower on the back of the school. Citywide, I haven't dropped a call yet. I'm sure Verizon has dead spots but, it has the best coverage in Nebraska. I've used AT&T and reception was awful. I love the iPhone but, I'm staying with my LG Chocolate, which is on Verizon.

I had service with AT&T and it had absolutely deplorable service. There is a cell tower 400 yards from my house and I can't get any bars. I switched to Verizon Wireless the other day and the results were drastic! With AT&T I got no service in my home, but with Verizon I have all 4 bars. AT&T does not work in the Omaha area.

Love Alltel service in Omaha, except downtown where no service or dropped calls is the norm. Alltel also has really great coverage throughout Nebraska and Western IA Matt in Omaha

Although I love my iPhone, I am considering switching as AT&T's service coverage is absolutely horrible. The only mistake Apple made with the iPhone was partnering with a substandard carrier such as AT&T. I have no reception in my house and have lost several sales calls as a result of poor reception or dropped calls.

I moved to 90th / Harney from another east central location and now my Sprint service doesn't work at all. Even when I go outside, the reception is dropped, completely garbled. I had no probllems before the move. Everyone around here says the service is terrible. How can a city the size of Omaha have no service in the middle of town!

Too many dropped calls. But from comments above, all carriers seem to suffer the same problem. Maybe Omaha in general has terrible coverage.

Overall get good reception. Only one bar in basement. No reception in most area hospitals. Reception in and out within malls. Happy with reception when traveling between Omaha and MN or Omaha and Dallas. Sometime have problems with voicemails showing up several days after the fact. Annoying! But, like I said, pretty happy most of the time and don't know if any other providers would be better. Like the GSM because you can by phones anywhere and just put your SIM card in new phone. Bought my SLVR on ebay new for a fraction of the cost!

DEAD ZONE 2 Mile Radius. I can not make or receive calls on my ATT iPhone from my office! 2nd floor, overlooks vast valley - but NO BARS... Any rogue call making it in, bets cut off.
