Switched from Virgin Mobile with the Kyocera Slider phone to Verizon and the Motorola v276. A VAST improvement. What a joy to actually get reception bars in my own home! I specifically avoided Sprint / Nextel because Virgin Mobile used some of their towers for service, and I literally got no bars in my house. Other friends with Sprint have smae complaints of 'dead zones'. So far, very pleased with Verizon and my Motorola.

Have an old TDMA phone and reception constantly bounces up and down and is non-existant in several places in my home. I assume it is better with GSM. I would not recommend Cingular TDMA in this area, though I have had excellent service with them elsewhere.

Great reception with Sprint in NorthWest Omaha. I get service in any buildings, in my basement, and have tried it as far out as Elkhorn and Waterloo with no issues at all.

Every place in Omaha I have taken this phone has showed me 4-5 bars of reception. EXCEPT my home or my neighborhood! Within a block of my house there is this 'dead zone' where reception is nill.

Reception stinks inside houses, had to go outside, and then fine.

Great service downtown and around town. UP Center has great service and have not experienced many dropped called.

Poor reception

No recpetion at home at 156th and Harrison or in office at 72nd and mercy. Frequent drops. 84th St.drops. Interstate Drops. 132nd and Harrison drops. SMT5600 better than mpx flavor.

Verizon is the only carrier that I have used that maintains a signal in my basement. I have used Alltel and Sprint and was lucky to carry a bar in or around my house.

Good reception.
