Sprint / Virgin has Great Reception! through out the city almost 5 bars everywhere, and even 3 bars deep inside buildings.

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

I was outside on a hill on top of a manhole cover trying to get a bar. One of the CU employees driving by stopped and asked if I was making a commerical for a cell phone company. Really frustrated with Cingular in Omaha. Plan to go back to Sprint. They were really good compared to Cingular.

Excellent reception throughout the downtown area.

I have had Alltel / Verizon for 20+ years. Just a few months ago my boyfriend and I started having some issues with the connection. We both have Verizon now. When at home or even in my neighborhood calls break up and sometimes even drop. I also found out that when I am home, sometimes my signal is so weak that my phone doesn't even ring. I didn't complain right away, however, when I received a note in mail from Verizon stating that my signal is even stronger now I had had it and contacted the company. At first, they told me that I would need to purchase extra items for a stronger connection. I told them that was not acceptable and they have dropped that. Since then I have called them three to four more times, and spent about two to three hours opening and reopening tickets and trying different things to fix this issue. The last time I talked to them they said that they had made the signal stronger in my neighborhood and that I just needed to dial *228 or something to fix it. I did this and NOTHING changed. I need to call them back and reopen the ticket... I just dreading it though... They did say once that if necessary they would let me out of my contract, however, being with the company for so long, I would prefer that they just fixed the problem.

I am SO frustrated with Verizon coverage in midtown. It is a daily annoyance. I have dropped calls in my home office, and driving around town every single day. When I send texts, I frequently get, "Would you like to send when service is available?" I just found out today that every time I clicked Yes it sends it again, which is annoying to recipients. Sometimes when I am listening to voice-mail, I get, "If you'd like to make a call... " although I was connected and listening to messages for a few minutes successfully. WEIRD stuff. I am ashamed to be paying more than anyone else for this horrific service, plus I now acknowledge it's affecting my business at this point. I am shopping for a new provider today. PS- I was with Alltel / ancestors since 1992; since Verizon I have been frustrated but in denial until now.

Five bars of 3G service with speeds exceeding 3Mbps, even in my basement. AT&T is rock-solid around 72nd and Military / 72nd and Ames. Can't say the same about GSM coverage in all of the Omaha area; the southwest metro area has some major coverage issues. Very solid here in the north-central metro though.

I spent a week trying to resolve the issue with Sprint and my cell phone. Cox told me it could be that my phone was listed in the 402 area code but not in Omaha. Turned out to be true, but Sprint denied that could be the case. I spoke with Joseph, Cesar, Loren,etc. at the main Sprint number, several people at the 114th Dodge location and people at the 90th Fort location. Sprint kept my phone and when it was returned it worked for a couple of days, then nothing. Took it back and the battery was dead and the port to recharge was also broken. These things were fine when I dropped the phone off. The phone is old but had been working fine. Strange timing. I have discarded my phone and will be looking for new service. I asked for comment cards regarding customer service and was told those had to come from the company and were done by phone and no comment cards were available. One person was willing to help if I extended my contract for two years. I can't consider extending a contract with the poor service and people who can not be trusted.

I get little to no reception at home or in my neighborhood. I have to talk on speaker phone because my head filters out all of the signal. My phone also constantly switches between the Edge network and 3G, which means a dropped call every single time that happens. I know this is a dead area for most phones, but I would like to switch to a carrier with more reliable service.

I had some reception problems in this area but recently things have been better. I called Cingular and I guess there is a new tower so we get good calls here (even in our basement). But traveling around Omaha things are ok. When I leave the Omaha area into Plattsmouth or Beaver Lake, Plattsmouth is Ok but Beaver Lake NO RECEPTION at ALL! I use to have Alltel and when I had Alltel they worked REALLY REALLY good. I NEVER had to worry about a dropped call. When Cingular says they have the least drop calls they weren't in Omaha.

VERY crappy here. Drops signal all the time!

It is nearly impossible to get any reception at the bottoms of hills, frequent dropped calls. This is my 2nd Cingular phone and it's the same way.

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

Some areas in my neighborhood 54th and Blondo have significant drop of signal. I have checked this with three different phone models. Very dissappointing!

Within buildings could be better especially since their "new GSM" upgrade this season.

I get reception on the main level but when I'm in the basement I don't get any service. I think they should add a cell tower in the area of zipcode 68105.

I swtched from us cellular to Sprint and I have never dropped a call any where in omaha I drive 10 hours a day threw omaha ad surrounding areas no major issues. reception depends on quality of phone I use 3 different phones for work all Sprint I some phones get better signal than others but overall Sprint wins all the way around. No problems at all any where I have been

Can't remember a dropped call. Even in the basement I always get 3 bars and EVDO.

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

I just posted about my crappy T-Mobile service and realized that my pc put in 2000 as the year, the year is actually 2009. This is all current as of 10 / 03 / 2009 so do not get TMOBILE! Dan the supervisor said that he is honoring the statements that Daniel gave me just 2 days before, and that Daniel will be coached because he gave me incorrect information. I have a co-worker who moved from KC (where T-Mobile has coverage) to Omaha, it took him 3 months of documenting dropped calls before he could get out of his contract. Be leary of ever signing a contract with them. T-Mobile sold pre-paid phones at Best Buy and Walmart before the better business bureau cracked down on them. When people went to activate them, they realized that their area codes would be 816 or some other long distant number. They will lie to hold you responsible for a contract!
