Phone has AT&T SIMS card / GSM. I get 0 to 2 bars indoors (usually no service) which is about 1 / 3 block from intersection (on Colonial DR). Bars become 2 to 4 after stepping out about half way to side walk. Other parts of town better. Tried a CDMA Tracfone (LG 501C) probably tied to Verizon, somewhat better but still inconsistent (0 to 3 bars indoors).

Left Sprint 3 years ago as their signal degenerated to the point where the phone was unusable. AT&T signal was consistently better than average for three years but I just moved to Verizon. Signal is OK. Doesn't seem as strong as the AT&T signal. The problem in East Brunswick is that the municipal government won't allow any new towers to be built. Towers in area are too far apart for consistent coverage. New development also seems to pull down signal and lack of new towers means that service will continue to degrade. Time to petition the town council?

It is a struggle everyday to get cell phone service in our home on Wooten Court... but the dead zone in East Brunswick extends out Lonczak Lane to Ryders Lane. Some days we can't get a text message out! We've called Verizon and they said they can't do anything about it.

2 bars outdoor and 0 bar indoor

I hate it, I get hardly any reception on my street!

Very poor reception and it connects once in a while when you are in the road. Inside the building forget it.

Reception is horrible in my apartment, I alternate between no service and 2 bars. Calls are dropped quite often and simple text messages take forever to send. The reception doesn't improve until I'm closer to Ryders Lane.

Given the huge nuber of medical facilities along Cranbury Rd, it's amazing that the reception is so poor. Should be a public safety issue. I drive daily to and from the Post Office and cannot sustain a conversation on the whole length of Cranbury Rd from Rt 18 to the Post office.

at home I get great reception. normally full service!

ahh it sucks there is never any reception there!

It seems about half of East Brunswick gets lousy cell phone reception with Verizon. Heard rumor this was due to township ordinance prohibiting the placement of cell phone towers. Any input on this appreciated.

T-Mobile has no coverage at all for this area. There are no bars of connectivity available for all of Riva Ave. traveling the entire length of the road for South Brunswick to East Brunswick.

The coverage is so lousy that often the signal is lost during a call. Updating with *228 and selecting 2, is useless, as this only updates the roaming list for other carriers with an agreement with Verizon. They need to spend a little cash as incentive to build a tower in this area... there is so much business along the Rt. 18 corrider that I am suprised they ignore the issue. Surely customers have switched to other carriers (Sprint, Cingular) over this issue. NJ is a cash cow, the 2nd highest per capita income, and to ingnore service here indicates very poor management at the corporate business planning level and perhaps higher.

I consistently get 5 bars at home. School is another story (1-2 bars if any reception at all). However, through experience I've learned where I do and don't get service, and I've always been able to find service when I need it. I've also never had any dropped calls once connected.

Repeated download, suggestions did not improve the call quality. I have been with Verizon for more than 5 years and calls get disconnected too often now than before. The area mentioned above is the worst area. From summer hill road to Dunhams corner road, worst coverage.

Rarely stay connected indoors, and it's not much better outside.

Verizon is the king. It has the best coverage i've ever used. While Cingular / ATT network worked pretty good for me, I like Vzw better. Voice quality is equal to Cingular here. At other places where my old ATT phone can't find neither Cingular nor ATT signal Vzw does have signal there. Even though it's not full bar but I can still hear the other side clearly. For this area, I recommend Vzw and Cingular.

I get no reception in or outside my house.

It's great, both Cingular and former ATT.

ATT GSM is not too bad here on buck rd. the signal and voice quality is satisfactory while T-Mobile is definitely dead--no service at all. Both ATT GSM and Cingular are good here. I tried to roam onto Cingular and the signal seems pretty strong. never got a chance to talk on Cingular network tho, because AT&T is so strong that my phone always switches right back to att's network.
